Mr Pubudu Nilantha Jeevendra Pathiraja

Written by a patient at The Churchill

Mr. Pathiraja performed a diagnostic laparoscopy on me at the Churchill in May 2018. He was searingly honest about my 3c ovarian cancer and gave me the option of not proceeding due to my perceived poor outcome. However, on finding a more positive outcome post surgery his smile and obvious happiness was like the sun coming out. He said "I am happy. I want to dance" so we held hands and he celebrated this good news. Subsequently I have had the major HUGE operation performed 15th May by my assigned Consultant, Mr. Tozzi and just wish to reiterate that the honesty of Mr. Pathiraja gave me the courage to proceed. I have quite a lot of medical knowledge and studied Law at university but feel certain he would tailor any explanations to the academic level of his patients. A truly caring man. Thank you.

Mr Patharaja is an Amazing Doctor. I have been seeing him for the last 5 years throughout my Cancer journey - and he is the only one I trusted. He listened to me and understood my thoughts, and advised me in a professional and caring manor. He explains everything fully and makes sure you understand before going forward. Cancer is not a word you want to hear, but Mr Patharaja made me feel at ease through a difficult time, and was there every step of the way. What could Mr Patharaja do to improve his care? Nothing. Simply nothing! Keep doing what you are doing! Today, I said goodbye to Mr Patharaja. My time as a patient of his has come to an end. I am officially 5 years clear. Although, (in the nicest way possible), I hope I never have to see him again, If I was to go through anything like this ever again, I would certainly be giving him a call! Keep up the amazing work Mr P. Keep kicking Cancers Butt!

I have now been under the care of Mr Pathiraja for the past 5years and the other review on this page is also written by me but I thought I would add an update.The gynae oncology team at the Churchill hospital show such dedication beyond hope and belief.Mr Pathiraja shows such understanding and concern,his dedication to help you is beyond words.He does not hesitate to refer you for second opinions of other Consultants and has the knowledge of any clinical trials on offer at other hospitals too.His friendly professional approach reassures you and makes you comfortably understand,accept and undertake treatment.He shows concerns before ,during and after your surgery,and continues to monitor me regularly.Despite his busy clinics he is always very polite and thorough.I would not hesitate to recommend this surgeon.
