I was treated by Prof Fields for Lymphoma (DLBCL) recently. It was quite an aggressive tumour which required immediate treatment. I met Prof Fields on the Tuesday for consent on the Tuesday prior to starting treatment on the Thursday. Given how quickly I went from diagnosis to treatment, I didn't have any time to process what was happening and was fearing the worst. From the start, I felt like I was in very good hands, Prof Fields took the time to get to know me as a person (not just as a patient) and my husband. He patiently answered our questions, and consistently built my confidence and determination to get through the challenging treatment regimen. He respected my need for more information, pointing out publications in journals that I could refer to and explained pieces that I could not understand. He and his very excellent team (Milan, Lester and Gaynor are superstars!) ensured that I could fully focus on my recovery. Quick note on the team: 1. Gaynor was my first point of contact prior to meeting the team and she has been amazing in taking care of all appointments/insurance claims etc. Her quiet competence left an impression on me from the start and she has managed tests/scans/bloods/appointments (and rebookings of these) without a fuss 2. Milan and Lester are both amazing CNSs. Their care and attention to detail meant that even small complaints did not go unaddressed - when the going got hard for me, their reassuring voice on the other side of the phone or prompt responses to emails really kept me going. To end on a happy note - I am now in remission and this can...
Read moreMy whole experience being cared for by Prof Fields and his team was seamless. All appointments were made promptly and efficiently, and all my emails were responded to very quickly. I felt the care I received from Prof Fields was impeccable, my issue (longterm neutropenia) was investigated thoroughly and all test results and further investigations were arranged, assessed and reported without delay. I would have no hesitation in returning to Prof Fields in the future should the need arise.
I cannot thank Prof Fields enough for his attentiveness, thoroughness and care. Felt like he wouldn't have stopped until he figured out what was wrong and took me so seriously! What a lovely man, so grateful.
I feel very fortunate to have been referred to Professor Paul Fields regarding my low platelet levels. From my first appointment, he was exceptionally professional, kind and reassuring. He clearly explained the proposed plan and tests in advance and always took the time to answer all of my questions. Having previously been through a serious illness, I particularly appreciated his compassionate approach and the way he treated me as an individual, not simply as a patient. His professionalism, ethics and standard of care are exceptional. I would highly recommend Professor Fields and am extremely grateful for the care and reassurance he provided. Vesna A.
Professor Fields has been extremely thorough in his investigation. He has taken the time to examine me well, look at the history and evaluate all the test results. He then explained very clearly his finding and the way we should proceed. All my visits have been a positive experience.
Professor Fields was the utmost professional and extremely thorough in his investigations and referrals. His PA, Gaynor, made the whole process so easy. Thank you both
I was referred to Prof Field as I had severe anaemia. He meticulously and methodically worked through the symptoms until we got to the root cause and he then referred me to another specialist for treatment. I was very well looked after the entire time I was under his care. Thanks professor Fields.
Prof Paul Fields was amazing! He was always calm, reassuring and listened to all of my concerns whilst putting me at ease. He made sure my further tests was done quickly (within the same week). I would highly recommend. Gaynor is always helpful, approachable and understanding.A credit to Prof Field. Thank you both for everything. Victoria
From the very start of my referral Professor Fields made me feel very at ease. He explained everything clearly and took the time to listen to any of my questions and concerns.
I was under the care of Paul Fields at London Bridge Hospital for two months for an investigation of a low white cell count. Professor Field is an exceptionally empathetic and thorough consultant. He carried out comprehensive blood tests to rule out any underlying issues and explained everything clearly and reassuringly throughout. He takes the time to understand your medical history and has a calm, personable manner that immediately puts you at ease. A special thank you as well to his administrator, Gaynor, who was efficient, organised, and a pleasure to deal with when arranging appointments. I would highly recommend Professor Field for anyone seeking expert care in haematology or haemato-oncology.
Excellent doctor and colleague
