Dr Nethra was fantastic from the first consultation. She takes the time to explain the problem and what will be done to fix it. On the day of my surgery she came to see me to talk through the procedure. I’ve just had my 3 month post op review and feel like I walked out with all my questions answered. Thank you Dr Nethra.

Dr Nethra completed a full abdominal hysterectomy with a bilateral salpingectomy and right oopherectomy. Dr Nethra explained meticulously what is happening in my body. Dr Nethra is very compassionate and understanding. She listens to your concerns and advises accordingly. on the day of the op Dr Nethra was very reassuring and calm. I was extremely nervous. Dr Nethra came to see me the next day after my op and explained what she did and advised me of the aftercare. I couldnt have asked for more with Dr Nethra she really is a gem. I have my 3 month review booked within the 3 months of my op.
