Mr Minas took the time to explain things in a way that I could understand which I really appreciated.

I was genuinely blown away by the amazing experience I had as a patient of Mr Minas. From the very first contact, he was exceptionally responsive and helpful and he went above and beyond in making time to speak to me and assess my scans within a very short space of time, in spite of his existing commitments. It is not easy to find a Consultant who has such a high level of clinical expertise and experience who is also an exceptional communicator and genuinely patient-centred. Mr Minas had a laser-focussed ability to pick up on, retain and respond to every tiny detail I gave him of my clinical history, taking the time to give me very thorough, considered responses to my many questions and concerns. I felt as though every minute of the consultation was worth 100 times the value of any other medical appointment I have ever had as he seemed genuinely interested in helping me gain a more detailed understanding of each of the surgical aspects I was asking about and it felt like a much more collaborative process, where he talked to me like an equal and helped me weigh up key decisions I needed to make in an objective way, without pressuring me in any particular direction. I learned more from that one conversation than I have cumulatively from 2 years of gynae appointments elsewhere. He then worked overtime to review my NHS MRI images with his radiologist very urgently and provided the most detailed, thorough and clinically useful scan report and letter I have ever seen. Having his expertise on Endometriosis in particular was a massive bonus, as this equipped me with key specialist information which my NHS team were not able to provide and Mr Minas' radiologist picked up on vital details which had not been noted in my NHS scan report. Having a really comprehensive clinical letter was invaluable - it meant that I didn't forget key information Mr Minas had given me and it was incredibly useful for my NHS surgery team. On a personal level, Mr Minas was extremely personable and kind. He clearly has a brilliant mind and for someone with his level of knowledge and incisiveness, he is refreshingly down to earth in his manner and he is able to explain high level clinical information in an accessible way without ever being patronising or dumbing things down. The fact that Mr Minas went to all this effort for a patient who already had their surgery scheduled with the NHS said everything to me. I cannot recommend Mr Minas highly enough and I wish there were more consultants/surgeons out there who approached things like him and his team.

Caring , patient and professional

I could not be happier with my experience with Mr Minas. I was made to feel comfortable and heard with my issues and he dealt with everything in such an amazing way. I have just had a major operation but feel so hopeful for my future. In my eyes, he's saved me from a lifetime of pain!

Mr Minas is caring, compassionate and understanding especially of individual circumstances. These qualities along with his expertise are reassuring and calming and help a positive way forward. Thank you Mr Minas and team.

Dr Minas is the most caring, professional, and knowledgeable gynaecologist I have seen. He is very patient focused taking the time to listen and take a holistic approach keeping the patient at the centre of what he does. I had surgery while under his care and felt fully up to date and aware of my choices. He was happy to answer questions or concerns at any time and he really does go the extra mile. My diagnosis and surgery have really been life changing and this has been down to Dr Minas and the great work he does. Would highly highly recommend.

I went to Mr Minas to discuss bleeding and years of pelvic pain. From my first consultation I was treated with respect and was listened to as I discussed my symptoms. It was the first time I felt truly heard when talking about my pelvic pain. When I needed my surgical procedure, I was very nervous as hospitals give me anxiety. Mr Minas reassured me throughout and made extra effort to make sure I understood the procedure and recovery, and what to expect. After my surgery he arranged my follow up quickly and talked through my condition and how he treated it etc. Him and his team responded to any queries quickly and were always a phone call away to help if I needed. I definitely recommended Mr Minas for anyone looking for help with pelvic pain/ endometriosis.

I was very anxious for my first visit and Mr Minas was very friendly and understanding, and especially patient. He reassured me and explained every step of the visit. This was extremely important for me as it helped ease my anxiety. I assume my visit lasted longer than originally planned, but despite that, Mr Minas took the time to explain every single option available to me and sent me all the detailed info per email so I could be fully informed on my choice. I felt very reassured and in very safe hands, and at the follow-up appointment he listened to all my concerns and he was genuinely happy I could choose the treatment that suits me best. It was definitely a positive experience and I would certainly recommend Mr Minas to anyone who is looking for someone equally competent and empathetic. I will definitely be back myself whenever I need it in the future.

Very professional and takes time to really understand and explain the issue / worries at hand .

I had a great experience with Dr. Minas. Besides providing me with comprehensive information about the surgery I needed to undergo, he was also always very helpful, addressing my doubts and concerns. Thanks to him, I could approach the surgery calmly and in the best mental conditions, perhaps contributing to my very quick and painless recovery.
