I felt at ease straight away with Dr Constantinou. She explained the steps to be taken at any given point of the process, she reassured me when things were worrying and she answered all my questions. She really cares about the patient but also is interested in not burdening the body and the mind of the person in front of her. In a very undesirable journey, I am very glad I found her and that she was the one looking after me (and will continue to do so for the years to come). In more detail (as I know that when looking at reviews, I was trying to find similar stories for inspiration!), I had a mammogram and a first biopsy that had shown atypical cells on my left breast, when I decided that the doctor I was seeing already was not a great fit. Chloe made me feel comfortable from that first appointment and sent me for a second biopsy in a week's time (the previous consultant had said 2-3 weeks and still hadn't heard from the hospital two weeks after). Waiting for results is indeed the worse part of this situation as everyone says, so quicker turnaround was really important to me. Letting me know that they found Low Grade DCIS was hard to hear, but Dr Constantinou ensured that I knew how early and non invasive this type of cancer was, which took some of the stress away. She arranged a breast MRI then week after (which luckily was clear and I found out very soon!) and the surgery to remove the area with the malignant cells 10 days after that (again, the pathology report was clear and she called me a few days later to announce the great news!). She also referred me to an oncologist two weeks after surgery to discuss radiotherapy (which wasn't seen as beneficial at that point by either consultants, Dr Constantinou or her colleague). Dr Constantinou was there for me along the (at many times hard) way and did an exceptionally good job with my the operation too. While still healing, I can see how meticulous she has been with the scar and hopefully it'll be a faint physical and mental memory soon.

I could not have asked for a better doctor. Kind, confident and extremely competent. Thoughtful and thorough. I feel really lucky I was treated by Chloe Constantinou. She calmed me when needed, patiently explained all procedures - all that with such kindness. Caring not only for my health and well-being, but also aesthetically mindful. I had a lump removed from my left breast and the results are amazing. You can barely notice. Thank you for so much!

I met Ms Constantinou in March of this year where my medical situation was discussed in detail and all questions were honestly answered. I then had numerous procedures done which proved to me that this lady was not only professional but thorough. If it was not for Chloe and Hannah who knows whether all the cancer would have been removed after surgery. I am immensely grateful to Ms Chloe Constantinou who has forged the way for me to having had a wonderful outcome after my surgery. I eventually had a wide excision therapeutic mammoplasty and tge results are amazing. Honestly I do not believe that there is anything more that this surgeon could do. How privileged I was to have found a professional gentle caring honest specialist . Thank you Chloe never lose that touch you are an angel .if I ever had to have breast surgery again I would most definitely wait for Chloe to do the procedure and know that I had no worries in the world. She is the best and deserves a rating of 500 out of 100. Thank you so much I am very grateful and should you want perfection this lady is your answer.

I was referred to Miss Constantinou after having long term pain in my breast. Miss Constantinou was very friendly and reassuring in my appointment. She spent a long time checking me and arranged further tests. All my tests were negative. She was very helpful in giving me other suggestions to manage the pain. The leaflets and video she sent me have also been helpful. I would happily recommend her to anybody looking for a breast consultant. Her secretary was also extremely nice and very helpful in fixing the appointment.

From the first time I saw Miss Chloe Constantinou at Kingston Hospital I felt being in good hands with my breast cancer. Her utmost compassion and dedication shone through from the start. Her honest , confident detailed explanation of my condition and recommended procedures left me in no doubt in her professional skills. Miss Chloe was assisted by Michelle Harris specialist nurse at Kingston Hospital who provided me with invaliable warm sister-like emotional support while I was awaiting my mastectomy surgery. A few days ago, at Kingston Hospital Miss Chloe welcomed me with a big smile and open arms to deliver the result of a single mastectomy with immediate DIEP reconstruction by plastic surgens at The Royal Marsden Hospital. She did take all of the cancer away with my breast mastectomy, with good clear margins. I very much appreciate that during the operation she used her expertise to decide on biopsy rather than extraction of my lymph nodes which proved to be clear of cancerous cells. As a result, my recovery is very smooth and mild and the overall effect of surgery very pleasing. I highly recommend Miss Constantinou and wish her many happy results in her extremely demanding vocation.

I am very happy to recommend Dr Chloe Constantinou for her skill, empathy and outstanding care. I was diagnosed with breast cancer for which Chloe recommended a therapeutic mammoplasty. She explained what would happen and took time to give me all the information I needed. She communicated clearly and patiently at all times. The results of the surgery were excellent. Despite losing a considerable portion of my breast, Chloe has managed to create a new breast from what was left which, under clothes, looks exactly the same size as the other. I don't quite understand how she managed to achieve such symmetry but honestly, no-one can tell the difference. She also did a brilliant job preserving my nipple and her work is extremely neat. Chloe went above and beyond for me during my treatment. She phoned me with results days ahead of my appointment because she knew I was anxious, she kept running her clinics despite a lack of surgical nurses because she didn't want her patients to miss out, changing dressings herself, and generally ensured I got the best care possible at a very difficult time.

I was advised Jan 2022 that I had a small aggressive cancer in my left beast that was very small and caught early so the outcome was looking very good for me. This never prepared me for actually going into The Royal Marsden Clinic and talking about surgery to remove it and all that follows for weeks, months and years afterwards. Chloe and Michelle Harris were assigned to look after me from then on and were absolutely fantastic in every single manner. Their direct and honest approach with regards to exactly what was going to happen to me along with little diagrams was key to me understanding this all. The took their time in explaining things. I honestly left there with no more fear of the unknow as my mind was running away with " what if" scenarios. Michelle was there throughout with all my questions answered in great detail. I will be forever grateful to Chloe and her team for taking care of me in a very professional manner but mostly because they spoke to me and took care of me in a manner that was more like " one women to another " and not a Dr to a patient. It is hard to explain but it was like a Big Sister or Auntie being in the room with me. I will always be grateful to them and Kingston Hospital.

After 26 years, my breast cancer returned in both breasts. The "tried and trusted" procedure would be double mastectomy followed by chemo. In other words, overkill on cancer with chemo to extend but ruin quality of life. Chloe listened to my concerns, did research and using her exceptional medical skills and surgical talent, did lumpectomies followed by symmetrical shaping of my breasts - even saving the nipples. She was compassionate, fully engaged, shared risks and procedural details. The result was exceptional!! From experience, I can say she is masterful and I trust her implicitly.

I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer in October of 2021 and under Chloe’s care. She was extremely compassionate and approachable and my mind was put at rest that she was also conducting my surgery and lymph node biopsy. Everything was explained in detail and any questions welcomed. I never felt under pressure to make important decisions about my treatment. She is an absolute credit to the Kingston Hospital Breast Unit.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Spring 2021 and Miss Constantinou was my surgeon. I would wholeheartedly recommend her, not just for her skills as a surgeon but also because of her kind, caring and friendly personality. I am very happy with the result of the surgery and have recovered well, with no complications. Chloe has helped me through this difficult experience and I am extremely grateful that she is my surgeon.

Ms Constantinou provides compassionate and patient centred care. She is rigorous in her investigations. Her surgical work is exceptional and after a lumpectomy and symmetricisation I am very pleased with the cosmetic appearance of my breasts. I felt well informed throughout my treatment. Ms Constantinou is very human and approachable. The best bedside manner of any clinician I have encountered. Her positivity and good humour is infectious which helps enormously when going through cancer treatment.

Aka Wonder Woman in my eyes! After being diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer in February, I was put under the care of Dr Chloe Constantinou. She helped me every step of the way with respect, understanding, and sympathy. She explained everything about my treatment with a clear understanding. My appointments were never hurried, and with an amazing team around her, guided me through my treatment, which at times was not easy. After having a mastectomy recently, and my result Pathogical Response, which means I am cancer free, I can only confirm what a marvellous Surgeon she is, as well.as being a very caring human being.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in august and referred to Kingston hospital under the NHS. I felt very lucky to be under Chloe Constantinou who listened gave me clear information and supported me when I was distressed and did an incredible neat job on my breast when I had a lumpectomy. I was amazed at how neat and imperceptible the surgery was and how quickly it healed. Thank you from joanne

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March and Dr. Chloe Constantinou was assigned as my surgeon. Having cancer is traumatic and challenging enough and during a pandemic it made life even harder. However, Chloe was there for me every step of the way and I couldn’t of done this journey without her. She always made sure she took time to explain things carefully and thoroughly and even drew me diagrams if I was finding something particularly difficult to understand. At my appointments, I was never rushed and I was always encouraged to ask any questions I had. She is incredibly kind and compassionate and you can tell that she genuinely cares about all of her patients; I wasn’t just another number to her. What I really liked about Chloe was the respect and appreciation that she had for her team. Yes she may be the surgeon but you could tell that she really valued the knowledge of all the people that would be involved in my journey as well. There is no doubt that she is an excellent and highly skilled surgeon and when my dressings were finally removed I couldn’t believe how amazing my new boob looked. I would highly recommend Chloe as a breast surgeon as you would be in incredibly safe and competent hands with her - she is simply amazing.

Following an initial breast cancer diagnosis last year, I had a mastectomy and lymph nodes clearance. This was followed by chemo and radiotherapy. This week I have had a second mastectomy for symmetry. I cannot praise my surgeon Chloe Constantinou enough. From day one she made me feel at ease, reassuring me at each stage. Chloe makes what is a traumatic, fearful time in ones life easy to understand, explaining procedures step by step. No question is too much. Chloe is very caring and at the end of her busy surgery day she made the time on both occasions to come and see me on the ward. I completely trust Chloe and would highly recommend her as a breast surgeon.

I was lucky when a routine mammogram picked up a small tumour in my breast but even luckier that I was assigned to Dr. Chloe as my surgeon. She explained my condition to me so simply and carefully and I felt immediately confident in her and her team. After late surgery she even waited until I had come out of the anesthetic to see that I was OK. I really appreciated that. She has done such a good job on me keeping my scars to a minimum I can hardly notice that I have had any surgery at all. Thanks Chloe you are a shining

The first moment I met Chloe I felt a great comfort knowing she would be my surgeon. She explained things clearly, was understanding and I didn’t feel rushed in any way. She even followed up on me post surgery on her day off. She was always available for me in follow up appointment and my scar was virtually unnoticeable. She is a FANTASTIC doctor!

From the moment we met Chloe we were blown away by her amazing warmth and bedside manner. She is so understanding and caring. She went out of her way to accommodate us- arranging extra visits at times that would have been out of her normal schedule. She gave us all the time in the world and is always patient and understanding. Every clinic appointment included a hug! As a doctor she is inspirational. She makes you fell comfortable and cared for - we could not have asked for a better doctor - its a shame we can only give her five stars.
