Excellent phone call mr brand and his team are fantastic
Always, informative and clear very kind and supportive. Addressed all concerns and answered questions. Excellent
Douglas has been hugely helpful at what is a challenging time for myself. He looks for solutions and gets things done in an exemplary way. I would rate him as one of the very best health care professionals that I have encountered. I would recommend him without hesitation.
I had a very informative and open discussion with Dr. Brand. He provided details about my condition that I have not been given before and a clear explanation of treatment options & potential outcomes. He addressed all of my questions and outlined clearly the next steps for me.
Dr Brand has been the most excellent consultant we’ve interacted with in years of meetings with the NHS and privately. He is extremely diligent, highly communicative, and very thoughtful in the way he outlines the problem and the proposed solution, and goes out of his way to help. Would highly recommend
I am extremely grateful for the time Dr Brand spent with me during my recent consultation and for his frankness and patience in addressing all my concerns and extensive questions. I couldn’t have hoped for a more complete and open approach. I deeply appreciate his expertise, professionalism, and kindliness, all of which were exemplary. I'd recommend him to prospective patients without reservation.
My video call with Dr was very good and informative and correspondence following was efficient. However I didn’t feel properly informed for my pre scan regarding preparation re bowel and bladder situation which was unfortunate. Visits for treatment were very good
Thank you for your kind words regarding your treatment and our consultations. I am sorry to hear that the preparation instructions for your scan fell short of the standard we aim for. Please be assured that I have taken this feedback on board to improve our pre-scan communications moving forward. I am glad that, otherwise, your care has been gone well.
I have been deeply impressed by the patient focus and culture that Dr Brand has established in his proton Beam Therapy unit at UCHL. Despite his broad range of duties and responsibilities, he was still able to make time for direct personal interactions with me, at key stages of my treatment, as well as following up on my post-treatment progress. His warm, engaging and open style made communication and building trust very easy. Dr Brand is a highly capable manager and clinician.
Dr Brand was very clear and explained everything do I understood what was going to happen. Very happy with the treatment I received.
Thank you Dr. Brand, your encouragement and care are second to none. I am so lucky that I have been under your care. You moved my appointment time at short notice and delivered the happiest news. Youre one in a million
