  • Ms Kaushik has been my fantastic consultant following diagnosis of breast cancer and subsequently completed my 3 x surgeries. She made sure I understood all the processes and expertly answered all my questions, making a horrible situation much easier to deal with. My mastectomy scar has healed beautifully and likewise, my scars from my lumpectomy & lymph node removal are very tidy and look great. Ms Kaushik has been amazing & I cannot recommend her highly enough.

  • I recently had a breast augmentation with Ms Kaushik. Ms Kaushik gave me a clear and comprehensive overview of the process, the options and risks involved. I wanted an experienced surgeon who could offer me a natural result that I’d be happy with. I’m very pleased with the outcome and had complete confidence in Ms Kaushik to provide me with a result I’d be happy with. Definitely recommend - I feel so much more confident now.

  • Despite the natural anxiety of having a potentially deadly disease, Ms Kaushik and the entire Nuffield Leicester staff made me feel comfortable and confident leading up to my surgery. And the entire process from admission to surgery to discharge, recovery, and follow up appointments with Ms Kaushik have all been an amazingly pleasant experience. I would highly recommend Ms Kaushik and Nuffield Leicester Hospital if you should find yourself requiring breast surgery.

  • Ms Kaushik has changed my life! I’ve wanted a breast reduction for years and did a lot of research, I knew she was the surgeon for me. On our first meeting she was very honest, explained everything and showed me realistic images of what they could look like post surgery, not just the perfect insta ones. Following my surgery, I love my new boobs, they are everything I have dreamt of and have given me a new lease of life. I couldn’t recommend her enough, she is fantastic!
