I have nothing but praise for Dr Eichholz. He is very knowledgeable and his knowledge is current and up to date. He really seems to care for his patients and does everything he can to provide the best possible treatment. He is very good at explaining about the treatment he wants to give and the possible side effects and always answers questions openly and honestly and in language I can understand. He is aware of the impact that chemo might have on my existing medical conditions and has arranged referrals to other consultants to monitor and mitigate these as much as possible. I never feel rushed during consultations with him. He takes time to find out how I felt during and after chemo and adjusts the drugs to minimise the side effects. I feel that anything I talk about, however trivial, seems important to him and I am more open with him than any other doctor I've known. Not only does he listen, he takes very efficient notes. He knows my appointment schedule better than I do. He really cares about his patients and their well being and goes out of his way to make the whole experience as good as it can be whilst still being totally professional. He does so many little things that make the whole experience so much better. He looks genuinely pleased to see me each time and gives me a beaming smile. He asked what I would prefer to be called at our first meeting and always uses my first name. He also makes good use of Fran, his nurse. They work really well together as a team and she also helps make it a good and positive experience. I trust Dr Eichholz completely and cannot praise him highly enough for the care he gives.
