Patient Testimonials

  • “From the first consultation Ms Seema Seetharam instantly put me at ease and her compassion helped no end with my Breast Cancer Diagnosis. Always reassuring and going above & beyond with care she provided me, always there at the end of the phone and regularly checked in on me in between treatments. She literally saved my life and made it as stress free as she possibly could throughout.

    An Incredible surgeon who i am so pleased to have had by my side throughout the roughest time of my life.”

  • “I met Ms. Seetharam after finding a dent in my right breast skin. She conducted an initial examination and immediately sent me for a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy. I was subsequently diagnosed with breast cancer that same day.

    Upon my initial diagnosis as well as throughout my treatment and consultations with her, I have always found her to be compassionate and kind in her approach, taking the time to patiently explain all eventualities and being open to answer the many questions that my husband and I had. She has designed a thorough treatment plan and has referred me to highly respected medical professionals for further investigations and treatment.

    My treatment is expected to continue for at least another year, however, I know that I am in excellent hands with Ms. Seetharam and have full faith and confidence in her as my Consultant.”
