Dr Birtle has been closely involved with my prostate cancer treatment since 2010, and it's safe to say that without her care and professionalism I would not be here today to write this review. I can only say that anyone who receives care from Dr Birtle is very, very fortunate to have one of the best oncologists in the country looking after them.

I have seen Dr Birtle just the once so far, maybe a month ago, but I'd forgotten she had given me the card enabling me to provide these comments. However I have been enthusiastically letting everyone who comes to see me know how uplifting I found that 1st meeting. She was lovely, immediately putting me at ease with her very welcoming smile. and her saying that she wanted to see me, something I'll never forget. She sat close to me , all the time looking at me as she was explaining everything and the reasons for the treatment I could have . My family were there with me too and were able to ask questions afterwards , , but it was me she spoke to. We all really felt that she had looked into every possibility and what she was suggesting was the right one for me. We all came away feeling that we could trust her and how very blessed I'd been to be one of her patients. And I unhesitatingly would recommend her. I cannot thank her and the NHS enough for every way they are helping me at this present time.

Dr Britle is a friendly and warm personality which makes you feel relaxed and at ease with her. She is very informative and explains things brilliantly. She makes you feel like she’s got time for you and is very professional. Me and my partner were both very happy after meeting with Dr Britle and we couldn’t recommend her more.

she gave great consideration to what I was saying. any questions I asked were answered in a manner in which I understood. her explanations as to the procedures and timings were clear and precise. she gave me all the relevant information on what to do and who to contact if I needed help. information or reassurance, all this was done in a kind and sympathetic manner, showing she had the best interests of her patients at heart
