I was referred to Miss Kirkpatrick after a CT for haematuria picked up a density on my right breast. Upon entering her room, I was impressed that she introduced herself and another member of her team making me feel relaxed as I was quite concerned. Her explanations of my mammogram, were explained simply as she showed me the results. My breasts were then examined and Miss Kirkpatrick was able to assure me that I had no cause for concern, much to my relief. I felt I was dealt with very professionally and in a caring, friendly manner. I was fortunate that my results showed no cause for concern, but if there had been any problems, I feel assured that this would have been dealt with sympathetically and reassuringly.

I feel very lucky to have had Miss Kirkpatrick as my breast surgeon. I have had three surgeries and Miss Kirkpatrick was my surgeon for all of them. From the very first time I met with her, she made me feel looked after. She talked me through everything I needed to know clearly and patiently. She never made me feel rushed and she answered all my questions. At a stressful time, I really appreciated how she explained options and procedures to me. I have benefited from her knowledge and guidance, which helped me understand my diagnosis and treatment much better. After appointments with Miss Kirkpatrick, I always left the room clearer and calmer because of how she had talked me through results and next steps. Thank you so much for your outstanding expertise and sensitive care.

from the first time I was diagnosed with breast cancer I felt that I was totally in the right hands, I found that she genuinely cared, and was there for me, and even the second time my trust was complete. and after 3 years of being under her care I couldn't have asked for a better specialist, and felt totally looked after.
