I have known Mr.Coombs for over 6 years now, he helped me through my first case of breast cancer then, and over a year ago when diagnosed with a second breast cancer, he helped me through that. He is a kind considerate man, and takes time to ensure all questions are answered clearly and never makes me feel that any question is a stupid one. He's been my surgeon for both cancers, and his surgery skills are exceptional. With my second cancer I needed chemotherapy and he implanted my port, something I didn't know was possible to have. He is all about the patient and the best for them. I feel totally safe in his hands.

I was very impressed with Mr Coombs on my first consultation he was very easy to talk to and explained during examination next step . Didn't feel at all worried about asking for explanations etc,. Mr Coombs was extremely good at explaining the scan I had and what the procedure would be to put it right. Very happy and feel very comfortable talking to him.

What a wonderful doctor! Mr Coombs is kind, caring, compassionate and such a pleasant person in every way. He is a great listener, extremely knowledgeable, very clear in his explanations and never talks down to you. Probably the best doctor I have ever come across in my wide experience of many health professionals!
