This is my own personal experience:- From being warmly greeted by the receptionist I went to radiotherapy for my mask fitting on my first visit. This was quite daunting but I was constantly reassured by the wonderful team. There was kindly efficient Nash and the wonderful Lorenzo who went out of his way to take time to allay my fears and answer all my many questions. This was followed by what felt like a lengthy MRI Scan. I was down for 5 treatments and each time Lorenzo gave me his time to make sure I was ready and felt comfortable. He spoke throughout the treatment to tell me how well it was going … and how well I was doing … and how much time was left. This was so very helpful when wearing a tightly fitted mask and the head is fixed to the table. I could listen to my choice of music which also helped. I honestly felt Lorenzo and his wonderful assistant were very kind, patient and compassionate. I’d also like to add that the Complementary treatments of mindfulness, acupuncture and reflexology given by Katie, Kya and Elizabeth were so very helpful in helping me relax and fixing a sore neck (thanks so much to lovely Kya) A worrying experience made so much more bearable by the exceptional team at Genesis. My heartfelt thanks.

I can't thank Dr Dickinson enough for the support he has given me over a number of years since my diagnosis. His explanation of what I would need to have done at each stage of my treatment really put me at ease. I have managed to have an active and happy few years without feeling any discomfort, or under the weather, and long may this continue into the future however long that may be, and this is all because of the skill and care I have been given by Dr Dickinson, I will be singing his praises well into the years that follow.
