Miss Tipples previously preformed my hysterectomy and she has now expertly sorted out my menopouse problems. Given my history of endometriosis, finding the right care was so important to me. She has completely put my mind at ease. I am incredibly grateful for her ongoing support and professionalism. Miss Tipples. Thank you :)

Melanie Tipples is a rarity, not just for her extraordinary surgical talent, but for her unwavering, patient centric compassion and genuine humanism. From my very first consultation through to my final follow-up appointment across multiple surgical procedures, every interaction was grounded in professionalism, warmth, and honesty. As someone carrying deep seated vulnerabilities and a history of significant childhood trauma, finding a clinician who embodies this level of safety has been life-changing. Over the last 18 months, I can honestly say I do not know where I would be without her. She listens intently, answers every question with patience, and ensures that you are fully involved in every decision regarding your care. Her trauma informed approach and immense emotional intelligence meant that I felt entirely protected, understood and safe at every stage. Throughout my journey, Melanie never once lost sight of the person behind the patient. Her care also does not stop when the operation ends. Throughout my recoveries, I was deeply supported; every follow-up appointment was thorough, reassuring, and unhurried. Knowing that I can return to her in the future if needed brings immense comfort. Melanie exemplifies a rare combination of clinical excellence, emotional intelligence and profound kindness. As her patient, you are safe, heard, and respected. Some, simply do their job; Melanie makes an immeasurable difference to the lives of her patients every single day. I will always be thankful to her, not just for the operations she performed, but for the hope she restore...

I was experiencing heavy bleeding due to a polyp. Miss Tipples had been highly recommended to me by friends. From the moment I met her I knew I was in very capable hands. She was professional, reassuring, extremely experienced and caring. I had surgery the following week and was in and out in a matter of hours. Everyone at hospital was brilliant from the anaesthetist to the nurses. Miss Tipples came to see me after the operation to reassure me that it was all good and I had nothing to worry about. I will be going back to see Miss Tipples again for all future check ups I might need. Highly recommended

Having spent years being told my symptoms were perfectly normal, stepping into Miss Tipples office was a breath of fresh air. From the moment I met Miss Tipples I knew I had made the very best decision. I received a prompt diagnosis, with treatment options, all delivered with care and compassion. During my treatment every member of the team made me feel so well looked after, reassured and cared for. The professionalism, compassion and attention to detail made such a difference and turned what could have been a very daunting experience into one where I always felt I was in the safest of hands. Miss Tipples and her team are simply extraordinary, and I feel incredibly grateful to have been looked after by all of them. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you so much for everything.
