My exeperience with Dr Alex Ades was awesome. It was my first operation ever and I was scared, but Dr Alex had made my experience a comfortable one. He helped me understand my health issues, clarified all my concerns in detail and in a very professional and caring manner before and after surgery. Even months after surgery if I have any concerns, he is always available to respond my emails. He would provide advise as a doctor as well as a friend helping you to make right decisions at right time. Dr Alex is indeed a rare combination of excellent skills and experience with beautiful bedside manner. I am absolutely grateful for finding him and I have no hesitation to recommend him, he is indeed the most empathetic doctor I have ever met.

My experience with Dr Ades and his team (Connie) has been superb. Dr Ades is a wonderful doctor, answering all my questions (there were many!) in a kind, sensitive and professional manner. Throughout my procedure (from initial consult, the operation for the treatment of endometriosis and post-operative care) Dr Ades made me feel at ease, never rushing me or my family. For the first time in over 20 years I have pain free periods, I am so grateful to Dr Ades. I will continue to recommend Dr Ades to all my friends/family/colleagues.

I just had a laparoscopic myomectomy performed by dr Ades at the Healthbridge private hospital in Hawthorn. It was my first operation ever and I was absolutely terrified, but dr Ades and the team at the hospital had made my experience as comfortable as possible. I am absolutely grateful for finding dr Ades and I have no hesitation to recommend him, he is indeed the most empathetic doctor I have ever met.

Dr Ades was recommended to me by a friend who works as a nurse at Frances Perry House surgical theatres and is familiar with his work. He was excellent all the way from talking to me and my partner beforehand through to performing the operation and looking after me afterwards. I strongly recommend him.

Beyond being a skilled surgeon I can say without hesitation that Dr Ades is the most empathetic doctor I have ever been treated by. He is able to think "outside of the box" and has a sincere respect for his patients. I have a complex medical history with a high risk of surgical complications. Dr Ades took an extensive amount of time to understand my medical requirements - resulting in a brilliant outcome that I would not have imagined possible. He has also been wonderful at answering a multitude of emails both before and after my surgery. I totally recommend Dr Ades for his caring personality, thoughtful intelligence and medical skills.

I was referred to Dr Ades because of his expertise with Laparoscopic Transabdominal Cerclage. I had a lot of trouble with my previous pregnancies and was losing hope of having a term pregnancy until I heard about this operation. I flew from Sydney to Melbourne to have surgery and it was the best thing I could have done. Dr Ades staff was extremely helpful with bookings appointments, admission to hospital, etc to suit my flights and accommodation. Dr Ades is very approchable and always seemed to find time in his busy schedule to answer my questions and address my concerns. He has a balanced and objective approach to facts and is very good at explaining medical terminology. The surgery couldn't have gone better. I went back to the hotel a few hours after the procedure. The following day all I needed was Panadol for pain relief and 3 days later I was flying back to Sydney. I am very grateful for everything Dr Ades did for me and I am looking forward to falling pregnant again.

I had a really good experience with Dr Ades. My GP had suggested I had a hysterectomy because my periods were becoming very heavy and I was not able to manage them with the medication he prescribed . Dr Ades showed me a few different options and in the end I had a procedure called an endometrial ablation. This was done as a day procedure, I hardly felt anything and was home a few hours later. After three months my periods are down to one or two days of a very light spotting and I no longer need a hysterectomy. I really liked Dr Ades' down to earth approach to things and the way he explained everything in detail. I felt that I understood what was happening to me and that I was able to have a say about my treatment. He did charge me an out of pocket fee, but it wasn't much and it was worth every cent.

Dr Ades is a rare combination of excellent skills and experience with beautiful bedside manner. I had to have a hysterectomy and my doctor wanted to do it the traditional way using a caesarean section type incision. Dr Ades did a laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) and all I had were 4 tiny cuts. I was home the following day and back to work in ten days. All through the process I felt incredibly looked after. I am recommending him to all my friends.
