James has been brilliant. My recent visit I had the news that I was cancer free from stage 4 so as far as the appointment goes it was a great one. I had a million questions and James went through everything with me and has done throughout my whole journey. I really felt like he took his time with me. The appointment wasn’t rushed at all

I have been under Dr Good’s care for over three years now and I know he will always do the best he possibly can for me. Dr Good is obviously a brilliant oncologist with access to the most cutting edge treatments but more than this, he is so approachable. He is always ready with a clear explanation of the most relevant options available which he believes can provide with the best possible outcome. As a long term cancer patient, I really value this combination of knowledge and professionalism mixed with such a warm manner. I could not recommend him highly enough.

I was referred to James in July 2024 and currently still under his care as I have ongoing chemotherapy and immunotherapy for colorectal cancer with mets to my liver. James has been very honest and open with me from day one and not promised a "magic cure" to my disease but instead a realistic approach to extending my life as long as possible. He is open to any questions I have had and considered everything I suggest and always given his feedback and opinions in an honest way without me feeling uncomfortable for asking. I would strongly recommend James to anyone with my type of cancer he is a fantastic oncologist and I am more than happy with my treatment and the fact he has never given up on me is amazing. He has a fantastic oncology team that work with him and he certainly "holds a tight ship" Well done James and thank you

My whole experience at Genesis Care was beyond excellent from start to finish. Dr Good initially explained the SABR procedure to me and had such a pleasant manner I felt immediately at ease. His professionalism made me confident in both him and his treatment plan. As an anxious patient I was incredibly grateful for his excellent bedside manner. He acted promptly to get my treatment started and followed up soon after completion to ensure I was well. He is not only a renowned expert in SABR but has the ability to make you feel like a person and not just a patient. I felt in very competent and genuinely kind hands.
