Reviews
My mother has cancer spreading throughout her body, and Dr Chakraborti is her assigned cancer specialist. Dr Chakraborti has always interacted with her in an engaging, warm and sensitively humane way as he provides her medical cancer treatment care. It is his care towards my mother as he always ensures to lighten and de-stress any potentially difficult meeting or news whilst communicating clearly all information, giving her his full focus, attention and priority to all else during his consultations that we have especially appreciated. We have confidence that he will continue to prescribe treatments which are the best for my mother for her evolving condition.
I was 'passed to' Dr Chakraborti after my cancer had gone past being treated with radiotherapy and had been satisfied with the previous consultant, so was slightly apprehensive. Both my wife and myself warmed to him quickly however. It is good that he uses simple anecdotes to explain what are complex things in a way that makes things understandable, and puts your mind at rest. He also has a good dry sense of humour and overall he inspires confidence. Although not all patients might not welcome this I like it that he dictates his notes with us present as we then know what he is saying and also we don't have to worry about this task 'going on a to do list' which is clearly what happened with a previous doctor.
I have been under his care for several years now, and I have responded well to the treatment he has given me. He has always explained the process and given reasons and options, for and against. He is diligent in listening to my feelings and opinions.
Perversely, I always look forward to my consultations with him as his good care, advice
and humour take me through the next few months.
he is a very empathic doctor, listens to the issues and is positive but realistic. He was very kind. He appeared to work well with other team members
He went over and above to ensure access to treatment was the most current with the best results
the only suggestion I would make would be for him to read through the notes and determine the focus of the appointment before the patient enters the room. It would make the patient feel more confident than being asked questions like 'did you have your biopsy?' which was why she had an appointment - to discuss results. I don't think anyone would mind waiting 5 mins in the waiting room rather than in the consultation room
Dr Chakraborti was very calming and caring he put me at ease straight away. He explained everything clearly in great detail at each stage of treatment and what would be happening to me. Nothing seemed to much trouble for him in regards to answering my questions I had , I felt that I am in great hands and feel lucky to have him caring for me.
