London gynae recommendations (female doc, pref interest in a natural approach)

2 replies

I've had a scan on the NHS that shows I have some fibroids - not big enough to warrant surgical removal, but big enough to cause horribly, heavy, painful periods (with SERIOUSLY nasty PMS!). I've got private healthcare so I've got a referral to see a private gynae and am trying to select one. Ideally I'd like someone who might have some interest in natural/alternative medicine options (I'd rather avoid taking hardcore medication if possible.)

I'm in SW13, so Parkside Wimbledon is a good, convenient option (and I like the sound of Kate Panter). I also came across the London Wellwoman Clinic in St John's (and I like the sound of Dr Rashna Chenoy).

Anyone have any experience with these consultants, or these clinics - or any other great recommendations?

Thank you!

Andrew Pooley is a fantastic consultant. He delivered my daughters and has been my go to for all gynae issues. He's at New Victoria. He makes you feel like his only patient.

Just following up on my post - in case anyone is looking for recommendations! I saw Kate Panter today, she is such a lovely warm, friendly, kind lady. Very patient and listened and explained things to me in the same way a friend would, rather than a lecturing medical tone in which some doctors talk. It all just felt very normal and relaxed, which made me feel comfortable. She is clearly very experienced and made me feel reassured not only of her competence, but that my issues are very common and there's no cause for alarm. It's always so great to deal with lovely people, so I would definitely recommend her.
