I am so, so pleased that I went to see Professor Zoe Winters. She is a highly dedicated, fierce, kind and inspiring professional (with a great sense of humour). I have felt confident that I am in safe hands from diagnosis all the way through to surgery after-care. It's hard not to go over the top with the nice words about her, so some more practical/concrete things:
-I never felt rushed by her. Professor Zoe is detail-orientated, explaining her thinking, her investigations and always ready to answer any questions. She sent great notes and also up to date research when I had questions.
-Her surgical handiwork is very neat and tidy and she wants her patients to be happy in their bodies.
-She has a network of esteemed specialists to whom she can get quick referrals.
-At my first appointment, I did not feel dismissed due to 'young' age - she took her time with me anyway. This did not match previous experiences and I will be forever grateful.
-The one stop clinic is excellent - to be seen for everything you may need in the one afternoon makes a massive difference to the information flow and diagnosis process.
-Her close team is awesome - clinical nurses Helen and Angela are kind, approachable and knowledgable, and Jenny the practice manager is extraordinarily efficient and helpful. Together with Professor Winters, they fight to get you what you need, which takes a huge mental load off during what can be a stressful period.

Zoe was very educational and informative about what she was doing and what she thought was happening in my situation. She was very thorough and direct with her communication which I appreciated.

If you are considering booking an appointment with Professor Zoe Winters, do not hesitate. I wish that I had spoken to her months ago. Whilst talking to Professor Winters; she explained so many aspects of breast cancer that I had not known, it was really reassuring and it also meant that I could stop all the googling, which I have been guilty of for the past few months. I felt total confidence in the various aspects as she described them to me. It is very frightening to have a great cancer diagnosis, but when you are able to listen to and discuss all of your fears with an expert; it definitely helps to lift the constant worry and uncertainty. I was also able to have an immediate ultrasound scan.
I am also so very grateful for the prompt letters and communications that were sent to me within a couple of days. It was an exceptionally good appointment and I cannot thank or recommend Professor Winters enough.

Professor Zoe was unbelievably lovely & supportive. She offered fantastic advice and has followed up quickly with notes as promised. A very caring and knowledgable person, Professor Zoe put me at ease instantly and made the entire process easy & comfortable. Her support in getting ongoing care has also been super useful, so I’d really like to thank her for her taking the time in and around our session.

We initially went to see her for a second opinion. We found her extremely professional, knowledgeable and caring. She takes her time to explain to you in details your case and answers all your concerns. Her follow up is amazing. She only operates if needed and is a very gifted surgeon. Prof. Winters is the best of the best. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without any hesitation. Don’t waste your time seeing anyone else.

On thoroughly researching the internet looking for a consultant for breast care, I made an appointment with Professor Zoe Winters. On arrival, I was welcomed by a friendly receptionist. My scans were performed swiftly and examination with Professor Winters was not rushed and very informative. Professor Winters is an extremely knowledgeable, professional, caring person who made me feel comfortable when discussing my results and concerns. She made notes throughout our meeting and followed up with a letter and information uniquely suited to me. I would thoroughly recommend her.

Professor Zoe Winters has been an absolute lifesaver (and for once I use this term without hyperbole) in treating my sister who was diagnosed with early stage young onset breast cancer.
We found Prof Winters after facing difficulty in getting timely treatment through the NHS, and knew from the first meeting that our care was in the hands of a real expert - someone not just capable and competent but someone with great compassion and kindness too.
In our circumstances we were self-paying and Prof Winters always kept mindful of that fact, helping to minimise our expenditure without compromising on the standard of care that she provided. Her wonderful practice manager Jenny Hoyle was absolutely outstanding in supporting our transition post-surgery back into NHS care.
I could not recommend Prof Winters highly enough, she is exceptional in every regard and a true superstar for the people she has helped.

Professor Winters was very thorough, efficient , informative , kind & had a sense of humour!
She listened to my concerns & came up with an plan of action in lightening time. There was no hanging about with tests & results . I received my consultation letter the next day with referrals & a care plan for the future. I feel confident that I can contact her with any concerns & am grateful for her expertise & care.

This was my second meeting with Zoe, for a 'peace of mind' check up, and unfortunately, this time the ultrasound highlighted a potential issue, which had not been visible in the mammogram. Zoe took time to explain what the issue was and what the possible treatment options were, and gave me plenty of time to ask questions and voice concerns. At all times her explanations were comprehensive and clear, and each stage was followed up by a detailed written report. The procedure itself went as planned, as did the follow up consultation. I am thankful that not only has the issue been resolved, but that Zoe was also extremely helpful in general health advice, which I will endeavour to follow. I am pleased that I found her, and will continue to have regular check ups with her. In a world where consultants are very often distant and lacking in empathy, Zoe is a refreshing exception. She has a great sense of humour, warmth and compassion, whilst still remaining totally professional. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone needing a breast surgeon, she truly is outstanding

Professor Winters (Zoe) has a charming and welcoming manner. She is clearly a very knowledgeable person with a great up to date interest in her field. She explained my diagnosis in simple terms to me and listened carefully and patiently to my concerns. I felt as though I was in very safe hands for my surgery. Professor Winters met with me before and my surgery in my hospital room. She has a very caring nature and, if I may say, a good sense of humour which totally put my husband and I at ease.
The surgery she performed (simple mastectomy with lymph node removal) is healing really well and honestly I would highly recommend her to anyone going through the trauma of a breast cancer diagnosis.
A little note too on Zoe’s support staff, her Practice Manager Jenny & breast care nurse Angela. Jenny was so kind and thoughtful throughout my experience with Prof Winters and I really appreciated the little touches she added in communication. Angela was a lovely calming presence at all my appointments and extremely helpful and comforting throughout.
Thanks you Zoe for everything you’ve done.
