Dr Shiroma De Silva-Minor

Written by a private patient at The Ridgeway Hospital - part of Circle Health Group

In 2016 I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. Fortunately for me it was picked up by a routine mammogram. Although my prognosis was/is good I believe all women are terrified of receiving the diagnosis of breast cancer. Dr Da Silva impressed me and my family from the outset. She was empathetic and caring and also seemed very up to date and knowledgeable as to the latest research and treatments. I am very conscious that my health issues must seem trivial when set against those of the more serious cases that Dr Da Silva has to treat but she has never left me with the feeling that my problems are unimportant. I feel very confident going forward, that if I should be unlucky and this cancer should re-occur, it will be picked up treated as effectively as possible. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Da Silva to other patients.

Dr De Silva-Minor has helped me through not one but two incidents of breast cancer, both were very different, but with her support I got through. She went out of her way to ensure I continued my chemo at home when COVID hit, and helped to arrange my radiotherapy closer to home than Oxford. She is very caring, and so easy to talk to. Everything you need when you are going one of the hardest times in your life.

I had two video appointments with doctor De-Silva. On both occasions she showed great care and interest in my condition. She was able to listen to my concerns and gave me information as well as advice

Dr De Silva-Minor has been looking after me since 2017 when I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer which was obviously a great shock. Not only does she give me comfort and outstanding support with her treatment by listening to my ever growing list of pains and aches but she helps me in a unique way: she always looks beautiful which cheers me up in the depressing hospital environment. Looking at somebody who is aesthetically pleasing has a definite therapeutic effect on me and I am sure other patients feel similarly.
