Lovely experience even though I was very nervous! All staff were calm and reassuring. Pollly was friendly, professional and the whole process felt very smooth. I was left feeling well informed and taken care of. As a second time patient I can’t recommend Complete Fertility enough!

Mrs Polly Ford was brilliant. Warm and welcoming, she instantly put me at ease for my hysteroscopy which I was extremely nervous about. Whilst it definitely wasn’t the nicest or most comfortable procedure to have, Mrs Ford was patient, sympathetic, knowledgeable, professional, efficient, extremely skilled and highly experienced. We even had a few laughs which really broke the nervous tension. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this amazing consultant.
