Mr Paul Thiruchelvam 2017-05-25 Person 5 5 0

I was fortunate to be under the care of Paul Thiruchelvam at Charing Cross for my breast treatment. He was a calming presence from the first meeting when he explained, in a clear manner, the procedure that was to be carried out, allowing time for me to process the information and to ask questions. To be told that I required an operation was a shock, but I did feel very reassured that I was being dealt with by a competent and considerate surgeon. This was a routine appointment for him, but at no time did he make me feel as if I was just another patient. On the morning of the operation Paul Thiruchelvam came to talk to me on my arrival on the ward, then just before the operation, and later, in the second recovery room after the operation. The following morning he called me to check on how I was doing. I was impressed by this exceptional level of care and attention.Though it was such a worrying time for me, it was a very positive experience overall, thanks to the excellent care provided by Paul Thiruchelvam and all the Breast Care team at Charing Cross Hospital. Thank you.
