Mr Nikhil Pawa

Written by a patient at West Middlesex University Hospital

My son used the word, “ respectful”. I had a colostomy and reversal with Dr. Pawa. His care is unparalleled, in my experience. I am a 77 year old mental health professional. The nursing staff and his own colleagues revere him and say he’s the best. He has carefully followed my progress thru all the stages, like a reassuring friend. My op was 8 hours long. He perseveres where others might take short cuts. My trust is 100 % and for a doubting Thomas like me, that’s extraordinary. He explains well and is encouraging. The results speak for themselves. Thank you, Dr. Pawa.

Mr Pawa met up with me and my family to explain my illness and what procedures would follow. He was very kind and patient and explained in detail what I needed to know and I feel confident that I will be well looked after.

What a brilliant surgeon and person. Really cares. Explains everything properly. And the treatment the after care. Absolutely superb. I trusted him implicitly and he came through for me. I can’t thank him enough.

I was admitted after a week of bowel disturbance which turned into Right sided upper abdominal and flank pain. within 16 hours if presenting to A&E I had had a CT scan which showed the problem. Likely a high grade Lymphoma.Mr Pawa pushed for a confirmatory biopsy and only once the results became available (Bank Holiday Weekend intervening) he rushed a referral to Haematologists. Within a day of the confirmatory result, he'd referred me to the Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital. In short, efficient, human, honest care. He never lost sight of the fact that I was a real person. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in Dec 17. It was a total shock to hear the news given to me. Luckily Martina Cussack ( Cancer Nurse ) was there to reassure me and guide me through what would happen over the next 3 weeks ie CT scan / MIR scan / Colonoscopy etc. When all the results were in, the surgeon Mr Pawa ( Nik as we now know him ) would advise best option. It was decided surgery was best and I was booked in for the 25th Jan 18 to have the tumour removed and a temporary stoma ( which meant having a bag). On the morning of the operation Nik came round to reassure me that all would be good and would see me after the operation. Nik kept my wife fully informed and I woke up late that evening. I was in hospital for 2 weeks and Nik visited nearly every day and sometimes twice to keep an eye on me. I saw Nik several times over the next few months and 5 months later it was time to have the reversal. Again I was in hospital for two weeks and Nik visited daily to keep me up to date. It is now over a year since my operation and I have seen Nik several times to arrange the yearly scans, and for him to observe the results. I felt the whole time that Nik and his marvellous team were in control and everything went to plan. I can't thank the team enough.
