Very pleasant and cheerful gentleman, gives you plenty of time and answers any questions you may have. I felt he was very in tune with what I needed to hear.

Dr Burcombe was patient and understanding of my circumstances and gave me ample time to consider my options. He was very supportive and helpful and gave me all the information I needed to make a fully informed decision about my future treatment path.

The care I’ve received from Dr Burcombe and his team at Genesis Care has been fantastic. They are caring and professional yet friendly, and made a difficult experience easier. Being able to contact Dr Burcombe for advice during and after treatment has been very reassuring.

I don’t think I can suggest a single improvement .
Dr Burcombe has been very careful to explain and discuss everything. He has answered any questions or concerns whether in a zoom or in an email promptly with the same kindness and professionalism that he has shown me at face to face appointments .

Dr Burcombe has always provided an excellent service in the years he has been treating me. He is very personable and easy to talk to. I feel he really listens and always has my best interests at heart. He is willing to discuss treatment options so that we're both comfortable with the plan. He's very easy to contact and is always willing to help. I have the utmost trust in his expertise and knowledge. I would highly recommend him.

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.
