I was referred as a private patient to Dr Oikonomidou, when I was diagnosed with Grade 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer in April 2019. From the first time I met her she went out of her way to make me feel as if I mattered to her, both as a patient and as a person. She explained all aspects of my treatment to me as if I had the capacity to understand them and at no point did I feel confused or patronised. She filled me with confidence and courage and enabled me to enter into treatment with a determination to succeed. At all times she has been available to answer any of my concerns and has communicated with me in a clear, accessible and warm manner. I can only offer heartfelt thanks for all she has done and continues to do for me.

Olga is an outstanding oncologist, and has supported me throughout my treatment, post initial diagnosis, during chemo and radio, and currently as I continue with hormone treatment. She is extremely patient, caring and professional - and I too believe that I am privileged to be able to access such an inspirational consultant here in Edinburgh, via the NHS. We are lucky to have such a leading practitioner at the WGH.

Dr Olga Oikonamidou is an exceptional doctor and an inspirational woman. She is dedicated to her patients offering not just the best of care but huge support through the difficult time of diagnosis and treatment. She is very kind with a positive attitude and very knowledgeable. She went above and beyond by applying for a treatment for me which was not available through NHS and would offer me a better benefit when compared to standard treatment. I got this very expensive treatment and had a great response and I will always be grateful to Dr Olga for this.

Dr oinkonamidou explained everything to me about my treatment . She was clear and consise,yet still extremely caring. I felt she was listening when I spoke and answered all my questions. I only saw her on 3 occasions one of which when I had been admitted to hospital during chemotherapy. As someone who always felt like I might be wasting the hospitals time - she made me feel I did the right thing in calling the help line and the hospital was the best place for my recovery . When I saw her again four months after this hospital stay she remembered me (which I was not expecting) . I think she is a superb oncologist and we are so very fortunate to have her at the Western General Hospital.
