Mr Dave has been brilliant throughout my care. From my diagnosis which he explained clearly & with empathy, answering all my questions with patience. I am healing very well post surgery due to his competence and expertise. I cannot thank him enough.

I could not have wanted better care than the care I received from Mr Dave. He delivered the bad news with great sensitivity and compassion. He was clear in his explanation of the implications of the cancer and the treatment options, and answered all my questions directly and carefully. I trusted him almost immediately - and though he did not do the surgery in the end, the surgeon who did did a wonderfully neat job - as I am sure he would have done according to the nurses.
And he also seemed genuinely pleased when it turned out not to be as bad as first feared.

Mr Dave was kind, compassionate and understanding. He has an excellent professional manner and explained every step of the procedure fully and in an uncomplicated way.
He has saved my life and for that I will be forever grateful. I’m so pleased with the result of the surgery. He is a wonderful, highly skilled surgeon. I’m so grateful for his expertise and proficiency. I am forever in his debt !
