Dr Giada Frontino is a Consultant Gynaecologist at Welbeck’s Women’s Health centre in London, with particular expertise in adolescent gynaecology and menstrual disorders and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), as well as perimenopause and menopause. She sees patients with irregular, absent, heavy or painful periods and abnormal bleeding, and supports adolescents experiencing menstrual problems, including premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Her wider practice includes recurrent bacterial vaginosis, recurrent urinary tract infections and urinary incontinence.
Dr Frontino uses gynaecological ultrasound and abdominal and pelvic ultrasound to investigate symptoms and offers HyCoSy fertility scans where appropriate. She also provides contraceptive care, including coil (IUD/IUS) insertion and removal with local anaesthetic.
Dr Frontino trained in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Milan, Hong Kong and Louvain, with particular experience in adolescent gynaecology, endometriosis, adenomyosis and ultrasound. She joined the Obstetrics and Gynaecology unit at Clinica Mangiagalli in Milan in 2008, where her work included benign gynaecology and high-risk pregnancy care. She later worked there as a tertiary referral specialist and clinical researcher in diffuse uterine adenomyosis before relocating to London in 2015.
Dr Frontino takes a gentle, empathetic, and holistic approach to care. She places particular emphasis on listening to patients’ concerns, providing reassurance and helping them feel comfortable discussing symptoms that can sometimes be difficult or sensitive.
Patient testimonials:
"I was very fortunate to meet Dr Giada Frontino, very professional, knowledgeable, kind, positive, listening and reassuring doctor. For 8 years, I was suffering from various symptoms and only Dr Giada Frontino, on my second appointment with her, put the whole picture in front of my eyes of what is happening exactly, confirming some other issues of which I was not aware and find out, following recommendation to do some testing."
"Dr Giada Frontino prepared a treatment plan for my complex case and because of Dr Giada Frontino, I will be able to prevent some other serious life changing issues that I would have if not addressed them now."
"What I like about Dr Giada Frontino that she looks at a person as a whole system, identifying the root causes rather than dealing with symptoms. She also refered me to other specialist and believe that together we are going to win. I cannot express enough my gratitude to Dr Giada Frontino for her help with my case, she is indeed a brilliant doctor."
