CANCER TREATMENT: Dr Olga Oikonomidou has been my primary cancer doctor since the beginning of 2017. Her expertise and care have been exemplary, and I remain forever grateful that I am her patient. She has repeatedly adapted my treatment to my condition, securing the most appropriate medication and advising me on self-care and support. She addresses concerns with thorough discussion, tests and diagnoses. She understands the anxiety caused by cancer, and acts to eliminate risk and to reassure. HOLISTIC APPROACH: Dr Oikonomidou intervened to ensure that I had emergency surgery during chemotherapy to sort the recurrence of a previous medical problem, despite the incident being out of hours and outside her discipline. Throughout the Covid pandemic, when it proved impossible to contact a general practitioner, Dr Oikonomidou correctly diagnosed my diverse symptoms, referring me to specialists and following up on their response. PATIENT CARE: Dr Oikonomidou’s patient care is consistent, her availability is constant and her communication is faultless. She has a complete knowledge of my health concerns and I have total confidence in her care. She keeps both my GP and myself fully informed. I believe that Dr Oikonomidou’s treatment is world-class and I am fortunate to be its beneficiary. Five years after my cancer diagnosis, I remain cancer free. I owe my life, and my quality of life, to Dr Olga Oikonomidou.
