I had my procedure on the 9th July and I can't speak highly enough of the care I received. Having had two previous laparoscopies to treat endometriosis, I was pretty sure the symptoms I was having were as a result/bi-product of endometriosis, even though I had gone through the menopause. My GP was adamant it wasn't possible that it was related and after 12 months of various tests, consultations, etc, I finally managed to get him to refer me to the Benenden. How fortunate for me that I was referred to Mr Connell, who, once I explained my symptoms, immediately reassured me that it was quite likely that the symptoms were linked to my past history. All the options were presented, including the removal of my ovaries and fallopian tubes and the fitting of an IUS, as well as HRT and having been given all the necessary information, I was told not to make the decision until the day of the procedure, to ensure that I had considered everything carefully. My care from the whole team was fantastic. I saw Mr Connell prior to the procedure and again the following day, as I was kept in overnight. Mr Connell is very professional, with a dry sense of humour, but comes across as being very caring of his patients, ensuring everything is understood and that you, as the patient, are happy with the course of action being taken. I never once felt pressurised, it was always my decision and there was always an opportunity to ask questions. I would definitely recommend anyone in need of gynaecological care to be referred to Mr Connell.
