Dr Shiroma De Silva-Minor

Written by a private patient at GenesisCare Oxford

I have been a patient under Dr De Silva-Minor's care for the past five years and she has always been professional in her approach, but at the same time very caring on a personal level. Having being diagnosed with male breast cancer at the age of 38, it has been tough understanding what was a predominantly female disease. Dr De Silva-Minor has always made the time to explain things to me in a understandable and compassionate way. I would highly recommend being under her care and would not wish for any other Oncologist.

I am enormously thankful to Dr De Silva. She was always very kind and clear during appointments and clearly very confident and comfortable with her knowledge which was always helpful. She made an effort to find the easiest smoothest route for treatment for me in terms of practical arrangements. She explained the detail and provided just the right level of info. Most importantly when I was really worried about something she went far beyond the call of duty to talk it all through with me. She was clear and detailed and completely laid me concerns to rest so that straight after our conversation I could move forward. Very lucky to have found someone so competent but also who recognises the human needs.

I am very happy with this doctor's approach to treatments, always taken the logical and sensible approach. I haven't seen any aspect which I would have any concern.

OUTSTANDING ONCOLOGIST!!!!!!!!!!! I have been to under the care of Dr Shiroma De Silva-Minor for eight years now and she truly is an exceptional person and oncologist, she has been my saviour throughout my treatment and I would not go to anyone else. Shiroma always goes above and beyond to give you the best advice, care, understanding and compassion. It’s always very scary for people who have Cancer but Shiroma makes you feel that you are not alone in this as she is so knowledgeable and very well educated on Cancer that you know you are in the best hands and she will be with you all the way on what is a scary road. I can’t thank Shiroma enough for all her kindness and support and I really hope that she gets the recognition that she so deserves as she has extended my life greatly and you can’t put any price on that. THANK YOU

Having had a terrible experience with the first chemotherapy treatment on the NHS Dr. Shiroma de Silva-Minor helped me continue with a better plan for me and got me through the whole course and radiotherapy. Without this I would have given up.She listened to me and adapted dosage as necessary. She was kind and helpful and made me feel like a person rather than a statistic.
