Dr Russell Burcombe

Dr Burcombe has provided exceptionally thorough explanations and clear reasoning throughout every stage of my cancer treatment. I would highly recommend him.

Dr Burcombe thoroughly reviewed my cancer journey from the very beginning, carefully going through every single diagnostic procedure, biopsy, adverse events and result. He explained my cancer type, staging, receptor status, surgical procedure details, and the PREDICT score in comprehensive detail. I truly appreciated this thoroughness, especially since he did not skip any information despite knowing my work background. This was incredibly beneficial for my husband and saved me the time of having to explain everything later on. Dr Burcombe runs his clinic in a highly systematic way, clearly explaining every step of the process, giving us the chance to clear any queries and gave us all the time that we needed. He provided us evidence based guidelines that reassured us that the treatment decision planned and timing will achieve a favourable overall result. Half an hour after the clinic appointment, I received all the information and and documentation directly via Carebit, which perfectly mirrors his incredibly efficient, forward-thinking approach to patient care and stress-free reference to look back when I need to.

I met with Dr Burcombe before and after my radiotherapy. He explained my treatment plan clearly which was backed up by clinical evidence and facts/figures to determine my future risk. I appreciated his professionalism, his ability to answer my questions and concerns and also his reassurance. I was provided with a clear treatment plan and the results of radiotherapy were shared with me after treatment, I am grateful for the open access should I have any further concerns in future.

Always takes the time to listen and offers practical, helpful, reassuring advice. Is always available in between scheduled appointments if there are any concerns or queries. Thoughtful and empathic.

My consultation with Mr Burcombe was excellent. He explained my condition to me in a clear and professional manner and gave me evidence based treatment options. He listened to my concerns and answered my questions comprehensively. Following my surgery and radiotherapy treatment, I found the online resources he told me about very helpful.

Dr Burcombe has been my Oncologist for the past year having been diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer. From my first appointment he was reassuring, knowledgeable and truly caring. I have had amazing care from Dr Burcombe and would highly recommend him to anyone. I am extremely grateful to have been referred to him.

As always Dr Burcombe was very friendly, professional and helpful. He explained everything fully and clearly. I would 100% recommended him

Having finished my treatment I attended a follow up with Dr Burcombe and Rachael. I cannot speak highly enough of them or the whole team at Genesis. I feel I have been in the best hands through this journey.

Dr Russell Burcombe was just absolutely fantastic, we could not have wished for a better consultant. Russell from the start was invested in our journey and on it with us every step of the way. He is genuinely routing for you and we felt safe and secure in his care. It’s the little things like contacting us outside of normal hours to give you good news that made Russell very special. Thank you Russell for caring and going the extra mile we’re so happy we had you as our support. Teresa & Steve X
