I cannot recommend Miss Tipples highly enough. The care and treatment she gave me was faultless. I was seen and treated extremely quickly. The whole process was effortless on my part. She was compassionate and clinically excellent which made me feel in safe hands. I am very happy with the treatment and surgery I received. I will definitely consult her in the future, should I need to.

Miss Tipples’ calm, efficient, empathetic approach to my health care kept me calm and reassured throughout my experience. From the moment of the first consultation, throughout my procedure and the pre- and post medical care I felt I was in good hands. Her support team is equally professional, providing prompt, informed communication. I was never left wondering and never had to follow up. Thank you to an excellent, experienced team.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I honestly cannot recommend Miss Melanie Tipples highly enough. From my very first appointment, she was absolutely amazing. She has such a calm, relaxed and reassuring manner that immediately put my mind at ease, and I always felt completely comfortable and in very safe hands. Nothing was ever too much trouble and no question or worry ever felt silly or unimportant. She took the time to explain everything clearly, listened to my concerns and made the whole experience so much less daunting than I had imagined it would be. My surgery and care were exceptional from start to finish. Miss Tipples is not only an incredibly skilled surgeon, but also a genuinely lovely, caring person. I feel extremely lucky to have been under her care and I am so grateful for everything she has done for me. Thank you, Miss Tipples — you made a potentially frightening experience feel completely manageable. I couldn’t have asked for better care.

Words can't express how thankful I am to Miss Tipples and her team. I was struggling with unexplained bleeding and extremely heavy periods that were having a huge impact on my life. Although I put a brave face on it, it was really getting me down. From my very first appointment, I felt listened to, supported, and reassured. I asked considerable questions and always got a thoughtful answer no matter how daft they seemed. I was absolutely petrified of needing surgery and, because of my fear, I actually didn't go ahead with it at the time. Two years later, when my symptoms were still affecting my life significantly, so I went back to see Miss Tipples. Once again, she was so kind, patient, and understanding. Everything was explained so clearly, and she never made me feel judged. Her anesthetist also spoke to me before surgery to put my mind at ease. The care I received throughout the whole process was exceptional. I'm so grateful for the professionalism, compassion, and expertise I was shown. I would wholeheartedly recommend Miss Tipples. Thank you for making such a daunting experience so much easier.
