Mr Theo Nanidis

I have had an initial consultation with Mr. Theodore Nanidis and a member of his team Ashwin Soni. I arrived realising that it would take major surgery to reconstruct my breast after remedial surgery had been performed many years ago and was now causing discomfort and contraction of the area. I had quite some trepidation at the prospect. I left feeling that a load had been lifted from me with the decision easy to make after everything had been explained to me, both the pros and the cons. I am an older lady although very fit and well but I was made to feel that my situation and final result was just as important as that of a 30 year old. I had many questions which were addressed with clarity and patience. I have total confidence that my surgery will be performed with care and attention to detail. I have yet to have the surgery (I guess Corona virus will determine now when that can go ahead) but instead of worrying I am looking forward to getting it done by this caring man and his team. Thank you, no more sleepless nights filled with indecision.

Dr Nanidis had a huge impact on my breast cancer journey. I had a super hectic family life and a cancer diagnosis was just a massive inconvenience, probably didn’t sink in straight away but I wanted it out and to get back to my life. I was very grateful to the breast care team for reacting and treating me the way they did. I didn’t expect the plastics team to be involved and I didn’t expect to be offered such extensive reconstruction. I was reluctant at first, I was brought up to avoid any unnecessary operations. However I was a 36J and at nearly 50 my back was protesting, I had a baby belly I hated and my “child was 22” so I said yes please do your stuff. Mr Nanidis and his team have a priceless skill of balancing their professionalism with making you feel relaxed confident and I’m safe hands, even though it was explained to me that the results in my case could be challenging. I have to say I massively underestimated how having a reconstruction has changed me. I love my body for the first time in my life, I’m so much more confident in my own skin which I thought I would never experience at nearly 50 and having been over weight all my life. My scars are so neat and actually make my new shape what it is and I can’t thank Mr Nanidis and his team enough for this part of my cancer journey is life changingly positive.
