I immediately felt at ease and confident in Jonathan Pollock’s care. Jonathan is a very approachable gentleman with a calm professional manner, taking time to listen to my questions however trivial. On the day of my operation Jonathan explained the procedure and reassured me throughout the operation. I was amazed that within a few weeks the scar on my face was barely visible to my friends and family. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jonathan Pollock and his team for their care and compassion. Thank You.

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.

I found Mr Pollock very professional. He diagnosed the condition perfectly and carried out the procedure very skilfully and efficiently whilst ensuring that I was comfortable, relaxed and pain free.

Mr Pollock was recommended to me by my plastic surgeon at the (LRI) Leicester Royal Infirmary as the specialist treatment (nuclear medication) was not available at the LRI. The condition requiring treatment was Malignant Melanoma. Mr Pollock was superb, as was all of his team. He explains everything so thoroughly without baffling one with medical terminology. He listens closely to one's worries and concerns and fully describes what the procedure would entail. In short I cannot praise him and his team enough. And guess what? I'm cured.
