Mr Jonathan Pollock 2022-05-10 Person 5 5 0

Being diagnosed with Melanoma was probably the most frightening experience of my life. I felt like I was in an out-of-control flat spin until I walked into the Spire at Nottingham and saw Jonathan Pollock. He was so calm and reassuring and I felt immediately less panicked. He gave me the time to explain all my fears and worries (my Melanoma had been previously diagnosed as a Basal Cell Carcinoma and I'd waited several months for an operation to remove it) and he explained clearly what my situation was, what my prognosis options were and what I could expect in terms of my next surgery. I left that appointment finally feeling like someone was fighting my corner and that he'd do all he could to help. Three weeks later Mr Pollock performed my wide local excision and sentinel lymph node biopsy. I was so well-looked after during my time in the Spire, everything ran so smoothly, I was treated brilliantly, monitored constantly and the room was lovely - like being in a nice hotel! All the staff were brilliant and again I felt so reassured and looked after on what was a really scary day. Since then I had great communication with Jonathan through his fabulous PA Lisa and the brilliant Spire oncology lead Rolyn who checked my recovery was going to plan and answered all my questions. The scars couldn't be neater and I know they'll heal beautifully in time. Finally I'm delighted to say Jonathan gave me the fantastic news that my cancer hadn't spread. It seems strange to write a review saying how absolutely amazing Jonathan has been and then saying you hope you never see him again - but I know he'll take that as a compliment ! Thank you so much for everything.
