Explanation

My appointments with Dr Burcombe have always been fantastic. He has a very friendly warm manner which is what you need when you're feeling very scared and vulnerable. Dr Burcombe explains everything in way that is easier to understand, answered all my questions I had and welcomes any further queries. I feel very lucky to have been under his care. Thank you

Explanation

My husband and I have been very impressed with Dr. Burcombe ever since my first consultation with him when he took over my case from another oncologist who relocated from the UK. Dr. Burcombe fully updated himself about my background at our first meeting and has never failed to answer all my questions at every meeting to my complete satisfaction. His responses and advice inspired our utmost confidence in him. He always advised me with my complete well being in mind and would offer useful suggestions on related topics. Having had experiences with doctors who looked after my parents and children in five countries through the last few decades, I feel very fortunate to have been Dr. Burcombe's patient.

Explanation

After dealing with the initial shock of being told that I had cancer and my worst fears realised, I had my first meeting with Dr Burcombe. He spoke in easy to understand terms and very positive in the outlook which lifted my spirits immediately. Each stage of treatment was explained meticulously )with diagrams)and what to expect in the way of side effects if any. I have been to the Genesis Clinic in Kings Hill several times for treatment/scans etc and the professionalism of every member of staff is amazing literally every aspect of my treatment has been second to none. I know nothing is guaranteed but I can think of no other team I would want in my corner!
