Lawyers are urging up to 2,000 women who were treated by Sidcup gynaecologist and surgeon Rod Irvine at Sidcup, Bromley and Woolwich hospitals to get in touch.
Time is running out for female patients who believe they received sub-standard treatment by the doctor to formally raise their concerns.
Mr Irvine was suspended from practice in November 2012 after the General Medical Council (GMC) received a number of complaints regarding his practice. Investigations remain on-going.
Mr Irvine has worked at Queen Mary’s Hospital Sidcup, Bromley’s Princess Royal Hospital, and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich.
Some 2,000 women were previously contacted, saying there may be concerns arising from their treatment by Mr Irvine.
An independent, sample review of 255 patients by the NHS raised serious issues about the treatment provided to 49 women and highlighted more serious issues in relation to the treatment provided to 17 others.
The NHS Litigation Authority and specialist medical negligence lawyers at Irwin Mitchell established the legal scheme for compensation payments last year - it closes on October 5.
Women treated by Mr Irvine can, via this scheme, address concerns regarding the treatment they received - and say whether or not it was negligent.
Several women have been helped by the scheme over the past 10 months – and in cases where treatment was negligent, further treatment will be organised.
The firm's lawyers are urging patients to get in touch, so they don't miss out on potential support.
TODAY'S TOP STORIES:
Solicitor Esther Wilkinson said: “Since the scheme was set up we have been contacted by many women who thought they were alone in their concerns about the treatment provided by Mr Irvine.
“We have heard first-hand how the treatment they received not only caused them physical harm but that there has often been a significant emotional impact too.
"We understand this is a very sensitive subject which is often difficult to talk so it is important that patients know that there are experienced lawyers out there who can deal with their enquiries in a sensitive manner."
The scheme is not open to private patients, but Irwin Mitchell may still be able to help.
