Thanks to others on this site for your reviews, it led me to book with Dr Ades and his wonderful team. I underwent a uterine polyp removal, and found Dr Ades to possess that great combination of exceptional skills as a doctor as well as a comforting bedside manner. I was able to have the procedure done under local anaesthetic (instead of general anaesthetic). I walked out of hospital after a 15 minute procedure which was done in a caring and sensitive environment, and drove home and continued with everyday life. Dr Ades is a wonderful mix of professionalism, skill and experience, and a warm and caring nature. If I need gynaecological surgery in the future I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Dr Ades, he's a credit to his profession.

Lovely bedside manner, brilliant surgeon, I couldn't be happier with having found him to help me address my issues of very heavy bleeding due to my fibroid.

He is very intelligent, explains thing in a very easy to understand way and is truly delightful to deal with. Highly recommended.

Dr Ades saved me from having a hysterectomy and I can't thank him enough. It had been recommended that I had my uterus removed because of a fibroid that was causing very heavy bleeding. I was passing big clots every month and my iron levels were low.
I saw Dr Ades for a second opinion and he told me that the fibroid was poking inside the uterus and that he could get it out with cutting me. From what I could understand, he inserted a camera inside the uterus through my cervix and took the fibroid out in small pieces with a special instrument. I woke up feeling no pain and was back to work the following day. I bled for a few weeks and then it completely stopped. My next period was normal and I couldn't believe it. 4 months later I had an ultrasound that confirmed the fibroid is gone.

Absolutely brilliantly talented surgeon. Having seen a specialist surgeon for a severe reaction to a minor procedure, and finding the cost of my hysterectomy with this specialist prohibitive, I visited a number of gynies who refused to have anything to do with me, yet I needed the hysterectomy. What were these other gynies afraid of, I wonder? Complications had been identified or ruled out yet I was deemed too obese for laproscopic surgery, and told to retire have open surgery and take 3 months to recover. Dr Ades took on the job. Surprised me with the recovery time and lack of pain. Felt I could have returned to desk job after 2 weeks. Just shows. Don't give up the search. Will recommend him and his team to anyone. He has a great anaethetist too!!! and a very caring team.

I am not usually one to write online reviews and being a bloke never in my wildest dreams thought I would write about a gynaecologist!! Seeing the way Dr Ades looked after my wife and how hard it was to find someone like him, I found this website and decided to write a couple of lines. Great doctor, great surgeon and a real gentleman.

Dr Ades was the third gynaecologist I saw and before meeting him I didn't even know that I could have a hysterectomy and go home the following day. He spent more time with me during the first consultation than my GP and the other two specialists combined. I also learned about alternative options to reduce my bleeding like burning the lining of the uterus and removing just the fibroids and not the whole uterus. In the end I did have a hysterectomy through keyhole surgery. I was able to keep my ovaries and I went home on the day after my operation. After three weeks I was back at work as he said I would be. I can't fault Dr Ades in anyway. It is not only his ability and knowledge, but also his bedside manner, his beautiful consulting rooms and the attention I received from his staff.

I thought that having a hysterectomy would be the worst thing that ever happened to me, until I met Dr Ades. Firstly, he spent a lot of time explaining everything to me and going through all the alternatives and different options. He never pushed me and we only booked the operation after a couple of meetings when I was convinced that it was the right thing for me. He did the whole operation through three tiny keyhole incisions, I was home the following day and only took painkillers for ten days. It's four weeks since the operation now, I am back to work and pretty much having a normal life. Best of all, the horrible pain and bleeding I used to have are gone. His staff was also flawless and very supportive.

I had to have an operation and I was extremely happy with the way Dr Alex Ades and his team looked after me. Despite his reputation and qualifications, he is not arrogant or impatient. He is gentle and has a sense of humour. There was no question left unanswered. I had an excellent outcome and couldn't believe how quickly I was back to work with minimal pain. I hope I never have to go to hospital again, but if I did I wouldn't think twice before seeing Dr Ades again.

I want to thank the women who wrote reviews about Dr Ades. Reading your comments helped me decide to go see him and it was the best thing I could have done. I had been dealing with bad period pain for many years until my GP suggested I could have endometriosis. Dr Ades was the third specialist I saw and the difference between him and the others was chalk and cheese. Now I know what people meant by a doctor who is an excellent and experienced surgeon and who also actually cares. When I decided to have surgery I knew exactly what to expect and I knew that I had explored all the other options. I few weeks later, I can finally control my pain and live a more normal life. Thank you Dr Ades and your team for the amazing care.
