Dr Baldry is one of the best doctors I have encountered. I saw her with my dad and he said the same. She is so impressive and her ability to explain such complicated medical issues in layman’s terms is second to none. She is honest and kind.
Extremely caring and spoke not too medically. Put us both at ease.
Claire was lovely and put me at ease. Answering any questions I had about my radiotherapy treatment
Dr Baldry was so lovely to speak to and explained everything in a way I understood. She was able to work around me with my treatment meaning I didnt need to change my much needed holiday with my family. She really put my mind at ease with this next stage in my treatment and was open and honest with what I needed which I couldnt thank her enough.
Claire is fantastic … professional, empathetic, treats you as an intelligent person and fully informs and involves you in your care
Thank you for the care you’ve given me throughout my treatment. Your knowledge and expertise have been clear every step of the way, but what I’ve appreciated just as much is how you’ve shared it—with clarity, patience, and genuine compassion. You took the time to explain things so I felt informed and involved, which made a difficult experience much more manageable. I’m also grateful for the trust you showed me and for creating a space where I felt safe to ask questions and be honest about how I was feeling. Your calm, thoughtful approach has made a lasting difference to me, both medically and emotionally. I’m truly grateful to have been in your care.
Put me at ease straightaway explained everything in great detail, trusted her knowledge and advice
Dr Baldry was very warm, welcoming and made me feel at ease. My full diagnosis was explained in detail, all of my questions answered thoroughly and plenty of time offered to talk about everything I needed to. I received a really helpful letter after that outlined it all again, which helped me have something to refer to. Overall excellent service which I’d recommend to anyone.
I arranged to see Dr Baldry in order to have an informed discussion about radiotherapy for breast cancer. The consultation far exceeded my expectations. Dr Baldry was approachable, professional and extremely thorough. I was reassured by her expert knowledge and unambiguous communication ensuring that all my questions were answered with clarity and a level of detail that I could relate to as a medical professional. I am so grateful for her input and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to friends or family.
Very empathic , explains things well and is professional. Took her time to explain options treatments side effects and benefits. Would recommend her as an oncologist .
