I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Garg. He is caring, compassionate, highly skilled and just what one needs at a scary time. He took time to explain everything about the procedure and he takes such care with the surgery that any scarring is minimal.

Early in September 2014 I found myself in a very frightening situation. A routine mammogram showed a tumour which turned out to be cancerous. From the first day that I was introduced to Mr Garg I felt completely at ease, he explained the operation that I would need in simple terms and was very kind and sympathetic to both myself and my daughter. Reassuring us that he would do the utmost that he could to remove all the cancer. Following surgery to remove the tumour and then another to clear lymph nodes, Mr Gargs surgical skills are second to none. The scars are minimal. I am now going to be starting a course of chemotherapy. I can thoroughly reccommend Mr Garg as a brilliant surgeon and also a very compassionate man. I feel very lucky to have been in his care.

From the time I was diagnosed to the actual surgery, Mr Garg was brilliant. He explained where the actual tumour was in my breast as well as showing details from the ultra sound. I was lucky, they found it on a routine mammogram, was recalled for further tests. From the day of diagnosis to the actual surgery it was 3 weeks. On the day of the surgery, I saw Mr Garg. He put me at my ease. I am now awaiting Radiatherapy. I will be seeing Mr Garg in about 4 months for a routine check.

Oh my god! I cannot thank or rate Mr Garg high enough. I would adopt him if I could. From start to now he has been brilliant, empathetic, professional, understanding and I could not have wished for a better surgeon. His team (the cancer nurses) include Kim, Julie, Helen etc., are great always there for you, they always remember you and are so encouraging and helpful. Mr Garg had done a great job on my breasts, he has elimanted the cancer which is the main thing.. Whenever I was scared he always made me feel at ease and that he would do the absolute best that he could. I would always recommend ladies (and men) to see Mr Garg. Anyone concerned, scared, worried, can speak to me my telephone number is available via Ipswich hospital. Do not worry - you are in very, very safe hands... Mr Garg I hope you read this, you are the most understanding, brilliant person and surgeon (as are your team) (Kim in particular) You showed me kindness with a hug when first diagnosed and compassion during the surgery and great belief in me to get through this nasty "C" word. I cannot thank you enough xx

When I was introduced to Mr Garg, he was polite & friendly. He read my notes prior to my operation. He undertook to do my operation, although it's still early days, but it seems all has gone ok. When I returned to the hospital for my wound check, the nurse removed my dressings & Mr Garg came in and looked at how things were progressing & offered advice to the nurse & myself. At this stage, I am unable to put forward any suggestions for improvement as my treatment at Ipswich Hospital, so far, has been excellent. I have absolutely no fault to find with anyone or anything.
