Mr Dave has given me the highest level of care. From my initial diagnosis to date he has been understanding, measured and highly professional. Every step of my surgery and treatment has been explained and I've been able to ask questions. Most importantly I've felt in control and that I've been allowed to make my own informed decisions on my surgery. My prognosis and outcomes have been clearly outlined to me at every step. Throughout this process I've been treated as a person and not just an NHS number and this means a lot especially during an emotional and difficult time. Mr Dave is not only a highly skilled surgeon he is also an empathetic person and personifies the absolute best of the medical profession. Thank you doesn't seem a big enough phrase to express my gratitude but thank you !

Compassionate, knowledgeable and clear. Never for a moment felt patronised or uninformed while I was under the care of Mr Dave. He made a conscious effort to explain, reassure and (perhaps what I appreciated most) was realistic and transparent about the process, prognosis and next steps. Equally, optimism was infectious and made a real difference in what is otherwise a life altering diagnosis. Always felt seen and heard under his care. My family and I can't thank or recommend Mr Dave enough.

I have been under Mr Dave care since the beginning of my cancer diagnosis. Mr Dave has always shown compassion and expertise and made a challenging time much more manageable
From my first appointment he provided clear and understandable explanations about my treatment options.
I am thankful for Mr Daves care and would recommend to anyone seeking compassionate and expert medical support.

Dr Dave has been fantastic, explained everything from beginning of my treatment / surgery. And did an absolutely fantastic job removing the lump and the reconstruction of both breasts. Cannot thank him enough.
