Mr Simon Smith

Written by a private patient at Springfield Hospital

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer at the beginning of December 2022 which is when I first met Mr Smith. Despite the devastating news he immediately reassured me that he would do everything he could to remove the tumour and set out a clear plan which resulted in surgery in February 2023. I have to say I have never received such fantastic care as I have had from Mr Smith and his team. He has been extremely professional and has always taken the time to explain to me each phase of the treatment and made time to answer all of my questions each time I have seen him. I will be forever indebted to him for the surgery he has performed which has left me cancer free. I can look back at the past couple of months and honestly say that having Mr Smith as my consultant has made a very difficult time less stressful due to his professionalism and care.

Having been diagnosed for the second time with breast cancer, Mr Smith was very clear and very reassuring regarding my cancer and treatment, explaining all my options, and answering my many questions. I always come away from my appointments on a high, and would never want to use any other surgeon. He saved my life 12 years ago, and no doubt has saved my life again now, for which myself and my family will be forever thankful. An angel in disguise.

I was unhappy with my breast cancer reconstruction performed by another surgeon, so I was referred to Mr Smith. He was realistic about what could be done but always gave me hope. Unfortunately I had to wait a while but that was COVID's fault! I am now 3 weeks post operation and I am so happy with the result. He is a very skilled surgeon and I'm very grateful to him.

I had a cosmic procedure on the 5th of January by Mr Smith. I had problem with my breasts which I was born with. I had two procedures done in my early twenties but unfortunately did not give me the results in wanted. I saw Mr Smith before Christmas and arranged the procedure for January. I would like to say that he listened to me and was honest. He said this may not work again for me and if I wanted to go ahead he would try his best. I found him to be kind and approachable with a lovely manor and felt I has a trust in him. To say the procedure has been successful so far has great. I was so happy with the result when I went back to see him and he was so pleased that was happy. I am very grateful to Mr Smith, he has given me back my confidence.

Originally I was referred to a NHS breast clinic by my GP after discovering a lump. I was able to get to see Simon via my medical insurance within 3 days of seeing the GP where as the NHS referral was 9 weeks. From the moment I walked in I was made to feel at ease, listened to and confident Simon would be able to look after me. I was diagnosed 7 days later with bilateral breast cancer which had spread to my lymph nodes. I was given a plan that day of treatment along with dates, what surgery options depending on the cancer treatment outcome and reassurance that I would be looked after. I have now completed the majority of my treatment and had my operation. I am so happy with my outcome and the treatment I received not just from Simon but the whole team that supports his great work
