Dr Andrew Barlow

Written by a carer at Watford General Hospital

For the past five months my Mother, who is terminally ill, has been under the care of Dr Barlow. Under these circumstances Dr Barlow is "a ray of sunshine". The professionalism, humanity, compassion and care she is receiving from him is wonderful. Both my Mother and I are extremely grateful to have him as her consultant. His consultations are thorough and he gives clear answers but it's his care, kindness and empathy that really shines through. Thank you so much.

After suffering a possible recurrence of a previous problem Dr Barlow went out of his way to see me as soon as he could. He is always very thorough and his whole approach is thoughtful and caring. I trust him completely, and I feel very fortunate to be in his care. I cannot think of any suggestions for improvement. Many thanks Dr Barlow!

Last Thursday morning i had a Bronchoscopy done by Dr Barlon , he explained everything that was going to happen to me what test they were going to do and put my mind at ease before having this done , he was very nice and caring and afterwards he came and spoke to me and told me what was wrong with me i felt very confident in his hands . I could hear everything that the team where saying while under the sedation but it didn't bother me at all and as for the music Dr Barlon it wasn't as bad as you were saying hehe yes i heard that too. But Thank you for the great care from yourself and your team what i had done wasn't pleasant but it needed doing as we all needed to find out what it was and thank goodness it wasn't cancer , the only thing i would say is if at all possible perhaps after you have told a patient what is wrong with them you could give them a leaflet just to briefly explain what it is you have as in my case i had never heard of sarcoid and had to look it up on website but for those people who don't have access to the internet i think this would be helpful . Many thanks again kind regards Katharine Clark

I had a very good experience while in the care of Dr Barlow. I found him very professional in his approach, he introduced me to all his staff, and then explained in detail what he was going to do. I found this helped to settle me, and before I new it he had finished. He visited me an hour after, to see how I was feeling, and asked me if I had a questions, he would be happy to answer.

I am completely in awe of the care and trouble Dr Barlow went to in determining the underlying cause of my symptoms and giving me two clearly explained options for further clinical intervention. He wrote to a colleague in a specialist tertiary centre and has since written to my GP to enable me to have continutiny of care in my local hospital as required. Lovely manner and a truly wonderful Doctor! Would recommend him for his care and compassion and have no suggestions as to how he could make any further improvements to the care he provides to his colleagues
