The Gynaechoice team is made up of four highly skilled consultant gynaecologists, all with a shared commitment to the highest standards of patient care, with the common aim of providing a first-class private gynaecological service for patients in the UK and overseas.
Together we have a real depth and breadth of knowledge enabling us to offer specialist expertise on a wide range of conditions. Every one of our team regularly host and attend courses and submit to, edit and read scientific journals to keep fully up to date with the latest gynaecological advances.In keeping with our belief that first-class care should be easily and rapidly accessible, we aim to see any patient within 48 hours – or sooner if it’s urgent. You can see any of our gynaecologists at any of our three hospitals; the Nuffield Health Wessex Hospital, The Spire Hospital Southampton, and Sarum Road Hospital in Hampshire.
