I felt the Orofessir really listened to my questions and answered them thoroughly. He didn’t just make decisions on the cancer diagnosis but took into consideration other existing health conditions
Mr bahl was lovely and very funny! It felt like I’d known him forever and I only met him twice. Really nice chap and incredibly knowledgeable. I wish he could practice in Cornwall so he could be my oncologist all the time
Prof Bahl was incredibly approachable, very reassuring and made me feel very calm and positive, in a terrifying situation!
Professor Bahl came very highly recommended, and I am very privileged to be treated by him going forwards. A calm, empathic, highly experienced professional, whom I have complete faith in.
Professor Bahl is an outstanding doctor. His work is underpinned by years of excellent research and practice. However, he carries his learning and expertise with modest grace. He is above all a consultant who is kind and considerate. And he makes every effort to ensure that his patients arrive at informed choices about their treatment. As a patient, I greatly appreciated my discussions with him. Eventually, I chose treatment on an MR Linac machine at Oxford. (Genesis Care kindly provided a driver for the five sessions.) This state-of-the-art machine delivers targeted radio therapy, which causes less tedious side effects than traditional radio therapy. Thankfully, my cancer is now in remission. And I feel a profound sense of gratitude to Professor Bahl for his advice, oversight and follow-up of my treatment. Professor David T
I was privileged enough to have Professor Bahl overseeing my radiotherapy treatment for Prostate Cancer. From my first consultation he put my mind at ease and provided reassurance and support through a very difficult time. He has a very professional yet kind and understanding manner and is clearly a leader in his field.
From initial diagnosis, to my final consultation 5 years later, Prof. Amit Bahl provided me with a highly personal level of care that I found invaluable. I count myself lucky to have been under his care.
I consider that I have been extremely fortunate to be under the care of Professor Bahl for my cancer journey. He has always taken the time to explain things fully in a caring and kind way and is always willing to answer questions. Indeed Professor Bahl has actively encouraged one to ask questions which has been very reassuring.
