I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020 and underwent surgery, chemo and radiotherapy. Unfortunatly new symptoms indicated a spread of the cancer to my brain. I again went under surgery and radiotherapy then met Dr Olga. Each of the doctors I have met have been really helpful and understanding of me in my situation, but somehow with Dr Olga she conveyed a care and understanding of me as a individual that I could never have imagined in the circumstances. I felt accepted by Olga as the individual I am and she spared no time in helping me understand the situation I am in in a thoughtful and humanly kind way. I would always look forward to my meetings with her because I knew I would feel safe within the meeting, safe for anything she had to tell me and safe that she would be kind and look after me and my three children in the difficult moments. I feel so grateful to have had her care for me and would like to take the opportunity to thank her for looking after me and my children. Gill Hales

Olga came into my life in April 2023, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer at a very young age. When we first talked on the phone, I immediately felt at ease. Olga is a patient -centric doctor, who takes time to explain her plans and answer all questions. She takes accountability for her patients and provide updates even when out of hours. I can't recommend her enough, she inspired me great confidence and she managed to give me a treatment that worked amazingly, ended up with a pathological complete response and cancer free. Even now that my treatment is over, I feel that she's there for me and I really thank her for that. Five stars!

I always had the highest confidence in Dr Olga Oikonomidou's advanced medical knowledge and that she genuinely cared about my well-being throughout my 15 months treatment and ongoing checks. I appreciated that she shared her direct contact details and I always felt able to contact her whenever I had a concern, and loved her no-nonsence approach to answering any questions I had. I appreciated her focus on keeping things manageable so could continue to enjoy a quality of life, such as enabling us to have a much-needed holiday, and pacing the introduction of hormone reduction treatement to lessen the accumulation of side effects. And finally, the treatment she prescribed was very effective even by the time of my first mid-treatment scan, giving me great confidence in having a positive outcome - thank you.

Meeting Olga for the very first time in 2021 I was truly inspired by her knowledge and caring attitude. I was offered twice yearly scans and the opportunity to start a new drug after a clinical trial had come to an end. The scans were very reassuring to me as this was not offered on the NHS and I am forever hopeful the new drug has kept any future cancer away. She is a very dedicated and compassionate oncologist, who goes over and above - I needed to contact Olga when I was on holiday with a concern I had. After one email to her, I was given a date and time to see Olga on my return. Nothing is ever too much bother for her, and she always takes time to listen and discuss any concerns whether it’s through zoom, face-to-face or telephone. What a fantastic oncologist she is, my husband, family and I are forever grateful.
