His expertise in procedures like laparoscopy for endometriosis and hysterectomy results in significantly improved health and reduced pain for patients. Individuals feel comfortable, heard, and experience excellent care throughout treatment. This impactful work encompasses a broad range of gynaecology, particularly addressing fibroids.
The best thing I have every done. Best consultant 100%. Could not have wished for a better experience. I had a hysterectomy and pelvic floor repair and absolutely delighted with the result. Would absolutely recommend Prof Andrews to any for a gynaecology option. A big thanks to all the staff that cared for me as well.
I had been suffering from endometriosis for many years, and it significantly affected my health and quality of life. After trying different treatments without lasting relief, I was fortunate to be under the care of Dr. Andrews. From my very first consultation, Dr. Andrews was compassionate, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain my condition and treatment options. He performed my laparoscopy and provided comprehensive treatment throughout my recovery. His expertise, professionalism, and genuine care gave me confidence every step of the way. Thanks to Dr. Andrews' exceptional care, my symptoms have greatly improved, and I am now living a normal, healthy, and pain-free life. I cannot express how grateful I am for the positive impact he has had on my life. I highly recommend Dr. Andrews to anyone seeking expert care for endometriosis. His skill, dedication, and compassionate approach make him an outstanding specialist.
Dr. Vasanth Andrews is an excellent specialist. He was professional, kind, and made me feel comfortable throughout my appointment.

Thank you for the outstanding care and support.
