Mr Dave and his team cared for me with extreme patience and compassion. I can’t thank you and praise the team enough. Mr Dave and my nurse Gill always had time for my questions and concerns which put me at ease and helped me to deal with my diagnosis.

I can’t praise Mr Dave enough for the time, care and consideration he has shown me at all times throughout my diagnosis and treatment. Each appointment that I have attended with Mr Dave he has been a true professional and I would like to thank both him and his team, in particular my breast care nurse Gill for the help, empathy, kindness and understanding that I have been given before and after both my surgeries. The team took time to explain all options of treatment available to me and did so in a compassionate and empathetic manner, showing respect for my own treatment decisions at all times. Although I was very unlucky after my first surgery with post operative complications, Mr Dave remained patient and understanding throughout and showed positivity moving forward with my treatment. The follow on Mastectomy surgery completed by Mr Dave after my post operative complications has left me with minimal scarring and I would highly recommend him as a surgeon and a doctor. Once again THANK YOU Mr Dave and team

I couldn,t have wished for a better surgeon than Mr Dave. He explained everything clearly to myself and my husband. He listened to our questions/concerns and addressed them to our satisfaction. Mr Dave is very professional but also very approachable. We felt he really cared about my particular case. Every time we meet with Mr Dave we feel reassured we are in the best hands. I am very pleased with the results of both of my surgeries and the neatness of my scars and the final results. I dont personally feel anyone else could have executed my surgeries any better. My husband and I have shaken Mr Dave hand and will do so at any future meetings. Im proud that Mr Dave was my surgeon.

Having been diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2021 (invasive ductal carcinoma grade 3) and under the care of Mr Dave and his team including my breast care nurse Gill at the Nightingale breast unit at Wythenshawe. From my first meeting with Mr Dave he explained the situation and treatment clearly and concisely which was reassuring at the time and without feeling rushed. Mr Dave has been extremely thorough and I have been well informed on all aspects of my treatment, He was very patient with me as I always had a lot of questions to ask, he took the time to explain everything in a way that I understood. Mr Dave has empathy with his patients and this shows in the care that was given to me. I have been extremely anxious at appointments and Mr Dave has always had a calming manner showing respect throughout. Mr Dave explained the procedure as I opted to have bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction, and the results are excellent. At follow up appointments he went through all further treatment that I would require. I would highly recommend Mr Dave he is an excellent Surgeon and treats all patients with empathy and puts patients at ease. I would like to thank him personally for all the wonderful care I received.
