Mr Yazan Masannat

Written by a patient at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer February 2015, and I met Mr Masannat during my treatment after the surgeon I first saw was on holiday. When I was first introduced to him, any fears I had were immediately dispersed, when I found him to be interested in me as a person, my family and how we would proceed with the treatment. He was straight talking, informative and most of all kind and understanding and even had a great sense of humour! I proceeded with surgery very quickly and I had a partial mastectomy and lymph node removal and the care by him and his team was swift, professional, and happily, problem free. When I had to return for follow up appointments, he was gentle when required and helped the healing process with his information on after care. I was discharged from the oncology department with a happy outcome after radio therapy. We had discussed reconstruction surgery and I have just recently had this completed. Again he was informative, caring and helpful during this treatment, and at this moment I am healing quickly and well. He is a very good surgeon (like I would know!!) but also a very nice person who quite clearly cares for his patients and has a happy team, which is always a good sign and I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for me.

I first met Mr Masannat in December 2015, when I was first diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I found him very sensitive, caring and very knowledgeable. All my questions were answered with consideration and always taking into account my personal circumstances. Mr Masannat covered in great detail the procedure and what they hoped to achieve. I found him very patient with me and took time to explain what I didn't understand (i.e my lack of medical knowledge). Mr Masannat has a wonderful team behind him, who seem to really respect him and his work. So I felt in capable hands every step of the way. On the course of my journey I had to spent further time in hospital, Mr Masannat was away on holiday and was still in contact everyday to monitor my progress. I want to thanks him and all his team for their outstanding care, which made me feel like I am important.
