About Dr Yulia Gurtovaya

Why choose to see me?

If you’ve had an abnormal smear, abnormal bleeding, or pelvic pain, it can be a worrying time. As a woman, I feel it’s essential to have the option of seeing a female gynaecologist if that is your preference.

I’ll listen carefully to your symptoms and how they’ve affected you and give you a safe space to discuss your concerns and worries.

I’m highly trained and highly experienced:

  • I’m certified in open and laparoscopic abdominal surgeries by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.

  • I hold a Diploma in Family Planning.

  • I’m certified in colposcopy by the British Society of Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology.

  • I’m certified by the European Academy of Gynaecological Surgery and the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy to perform minimally invasive gynaecological surgery (including laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures).

  • I’m a member of the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology.

  • I’m a Senior Lecturer for Imperial College medical students.

More about me

I graduated in Moscow and then moved to the UK, where I trained as a Consultant at the Oxford Deanery. My training included working at the Royal Berkshire, Stoke Mandeville, Wexham Park, and John Radcliffe hospitals. I’ve been a Consultant at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for over a decade. I’m also the cervical screening programme lead for the NHS Trust and am an honorary senior lecturer at Imperial College London.

I’ve been working full-time in private practice since 2015, and over the years, I’ve helped thousands of women with gynaecological problems.

I have two children (and a dog!), and when I’m not in the clinic, I swim and run and am an avid reader.

My experience with Miss Yulia Gurtovaya was incredible, previous the procedure I received a clear explanation step by step, potential risk and next steps after the procedure. On the day of the procedure, Miss Gurtovaya and all team were very kind and super empathic with me. Even allowed my husband to be during all procedure.

Dr. Gurtovaya is a caring, intelligent, highly competent and thorough surgeon. My experience with her pre, during and post-operation were excellent — with Dr. Gurtovaya making herself available for questions and concerns. Her choice of anaesthesiologist was also well-selected and my pain was managed well throughout the procedure.
