Mr Milligan is very caring and friendly. He explains everything he is going to do and makes you feel at ease in very trying situations. I was very happy with treatment I received from him and his team. His aftercare is wonderful too.For me personally I couldn’t have had any better treatment or aftercare. I can’t think of any improvements needed.

Mr Milligan showed courtesy and kindness in what was for us a difficult situation.
He explained the process that needed to be followed clearly, we felt safe and well informed.

From the very first appointment Mr Milligan has given nothing but exceptional care and has a lovely manner that makes you feel comfortable and reassured you are in good hands. He has all the qualities needed for treating people with a cancer diagnosis. I would like to thank Michelle too who was always there if needed and often called me to see how I was. Would just like to say a big thank you and received a clear mammogram result just yesterday which is just over a year after my operation.

Mr Milligan was my surgeon whilst going through breast cancer treatment. From the very first day I met him, he was sympathetic, caring and reassuring. He made me feel so comfortable in the worst situation you could find yourself in. He was so understanding and I immediately felt safe in his hands. I have had 2 operations carried out by him and my prognosis extremely good which is what Mr Milligan said right at the start. He explained everything thoroughly and every time I've seen him he has had the same comforting, reassuring manner which is so needed when dealing with cancer. What a wonderful team of people. The only improvement I feel would be so helpful is to somehow speed up the process when waiting for test results.
