Giles is the best of the best!
He has great care and understanding, he explains everything with great detail. I always get nervous just before consultation but his wit and charm as soon as he greets me makes those nerves fade away.
He’s just so great at his job, I couldn’t recommend a better Dr.
I first met Giles Davies in February 2016, when he gently but clearly informed me I had breast cancer. It was a total shocker, there being no cancer in the family. Through the first frightening days, as my results were coming in and enabling a refined diagnosis, Giles (metaphorically) held my hand throughout, calming me with very clear and gently presented information, and helping me to hold onto a level of control. His knowledge and decisiveness gave me trust and confidence in his diagnosis and treatment, and he went on to perform a super lumpectomy, leaving only the smallest indentation that indicates I've had surgery - it's a lovely job!
Giles has continued to guide my annual examinations throughout these last 4+ years with clarity, kindness, immense patience, translating complex medical detail into layman's language and always with good humour. I find I laugh a lot in Giles' consulting room - and that too is such good medicine!
I saw Giles again this week for my annual breast check. I'm sure like anyone, I approach these checks with trepidation and an increased heart rate. Giles is there, always calm and smiling, he undertakes a thorough examination and leads me through the mammogram results. I leave with a complete understanding of my situation. I really couldn't recommend a better breast surgeon.
Thank you very much for friendly and professional approach. I came to an appointment with a worry in my heart and left with relief and happy.
If I were to design the perfect oncology consultant, he would be a mirror image of Giles Davies. He inspires confidence, makes you feel comfortable, is down-to-earth and clearly cares. For the first time I actually understand the expression used by many doctors: 'patient driven'.
I was fortunate this time to be given a negative diagnosis but I take nothing for granted and would not hesitate to return to this Consultant confident that whatever the outcome I would be in safe hands.
His and his secretary's communications skills left nothing to be desired (the man even answers his own emails!)
If I were to 'design' the perfect cancer consultant for me, he would be a mirror image of Giles Davies. For the first time I understand the reality of the phrase 'patient driven' treatment. He is kind, upbeat, straightforward and understanding. Response to a referral is immediate, his secretary is understanding, and Mr.Davies even answers his own emails!
I was fortunate indeed to have a negative diagnosis, but should I in the future need to be checked out again this is where you'll find me.
