The care I have received under Dr Oikonomidou has been excellent from my initial diagnosis right through to the end of treatment and now for my annual checks. Dr Oikonomidou explained in detail all the different stages I would go through in my cancer journey and gave me the reassurance and support which I most definitely needed as she knows I am a worrier! If I have any concerns/questions I can email her and she always comes back to me promptly and is happy to see me in clinic and will refer me to another specialist if required. I couldn’t have asked for a better Oncologist and I am so grateful and thankful for all Dr Oikonomidou has done and is still doing for me.

Olga has been outstanding since the first day we met her when I was diagnosed with Breast cancer. During the clinics she communicates clearly and honestly and always takes time to listen to me and allows me to be involved in decision making by asking my opinion and thoughts. Olga provided me with her work e-mail address in order for me to contact her directly with any questions which is very reassuring and personal. Olga goes above and beyond to provide a professional friendly service to her patients and has been a truly wonderful support to not only myself but also to my husband through this particularly distressing experience which she has made into a positive experience. I am in safe hands with such a wonderful top Consultant who is caring and compassionate and I am honoured to be under her care.

Dr Olga has been my oncologist since my first diagnosis with primary breast cancer in 2017, I have since been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in 2018. She really goes above and beyond, I trust her implicitly with my care, and know that she will do everything she can to get the best possible treatments available for me. Her knowledge on the drugs that are about to be made available, is astounding, giving me hope for the future. I seriously don’t know when this amazing woman gets sleep, as even out with her normal working hours, she heads so much research, and is there for her patients always. Well meaning friends always try to tell me what alternative drugs etc I should try, and my answer is always the same “I have complete trust in my oncologist, it is her job to tell me what I need, to fight this cancer”. There is no other person I would rather have to fight my corner, and on top of all of this....she’s just a lovely person too. If Carlsberg did Oncologists..... Thanks Dr Olga, for everything you do.

Olga was fantastic. She just made me feel safe and reassured me.The care I was given was excellent and I felt listened to. I completely trusted Olga and she was very direct and didn't use a lot of words I didn't understand to get her message across. I felt that she was very approachable and so knowledgeable about breast cancer. I didn't feel spoken down to or condescended, as I felt was the case with other oncologists. She remembered me and always came across as if she had all the details fresh in her head about my case. I was discharged after 5 years but I feel I could contact Olga any time if I had any concerns.

Dr Oikonomidou has been my oncologist for the last 3 years. I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer back in 2016 and this was the most devastating moment in my life so far. I was a young mother full of dreams for my future which were completed blown away the minute I was told about my diagnosis. Things have changed though since then and Dr Oikonomidou made me see my disease with different eyes and most importantly she gave me my hopes back. She is a lovely doctor that listens to my concerns, spends lots of time with me in clinic, explaining everything in great detail. She has never made feel less important because I am a foreigner. She is on the top of things, extremely knowledgeable and up to date with all advances in breast cancer. I feel extremely lucky having her as my treating clinician. Thank you Dr O for being there for me, for giving me back my dreams and hopes. Thank you for being such a great doctor!
