I can't recommend Dr Burcombe enough. I have been truly fortunate to come under his care and whilst I hope my journey through this treatment is now over and I will never need his support and guidance again, it will also be a shame he will not be part of my future. A truly empathetic and considerate professional.

I was first treated by Dr Burcombe in 2009. He always meets you with a smile and his approach immediately puts you at ease. If you have a problem or concern he talks you through it and if necessary arranges treatment or further tests, which is arranged very quickly. He is always thinking and planning ahead of the situation which is very encouraging. It is refreshing to have a meeting with him as he makes you feel confident for the future. I can only say he is a great support to me and trust him implicitly.

Dr Burcombe has been totally 100% there for me throughout my cancer treatment, he is a phone call or an email away. He is such a considerate doctor and it’s not uncommon for him to call out of the blue to see how the latest round of chemo has gone. He is extremely professional and thorough, exploring every aspect of your care to make the treatment tailor made for you. Above all he is the most pleasant man to have looking after you when you are going through such a life changing experience, you are definitely in very safe capable hands .

I feel very lucky to have Dr Burcombe as my oncologist. His professionalism and expertise reassured me and helped to make my treatment less of an ordeal. He is to be commended for his dedication to his patients. He truly cares about his patients and I can’t thank him enough.

Profile
I qualified at The London Hospital Medical College in 1991.
Four years later I entered oncology, training at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, The Middlesex and St. Bartholomew’s Hospitals before becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Radiologists in 1998.
I interrupted my training to complete a Research Fellowship at Cancer Research UK’s Gray Laboratory then broadened my experience with a spell as Consultant Radiation Oncologist in Christchurch, New Zealand.
In March, 2004, I was appointed Consultant Clinical Oncologist at the Kent Oncology Centre, Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust (MTW).
As Trustee of Breast Cancer Kent, I have been closely involved in fund-raising to provide state-of-the-art equipment for the Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells Breast Care Centres.
I work closely with Macmillan, Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Now, supporting these great charities providing support and information for patients.
I believe it is important to promote secondary breast cancer initiatives and my efforts in this arena have met with strong approval from professionals and patients.
I contribute to the Kent Oncology Centre programme of clinical audit and research, have publications in peer-reviewed medical journals, and have delivered presentations at national breast and lung cancer meetings.
