Professor Gerlinger and his team were great, unfortunately the treatment he offers was not suitable for my Father but he referred him to a Liverpool hospital as they offered a different kind of treatment, we wouldn't of known about this if we had not had a consultation. My father will start his treatment in about 4 weeks, Thank you Professor it was a pleasure to meet you

Professor Gerlinger's explanation of my medical condition was clear and precise and he explained to me in layman's terms which was easy for me to understand. He had read my medical records from the hospital and had a good understanding of my condition, even though some of the hospital notes he had only received on the afternoon of my appointment. He was honest when discussing any treatment that may be available to me. I left the meeting feeling satisfied that I have been given the best advice possible as he also provided and alternative route which could help me.

Professor Gerlinger is kind, smart and attentive person. Treatment which professor provide is really helpful and I could live my normal live. Professor provide all information in smooth, but honest way. The treatment process is long, so professor is also pay attention on side effects to allow normal live activities. In my humble opinion it is just nice to communicate with such a good person. I am very grateful to the professor for his work.

I have sought Dr Gerlinger's second opinion four or five times since I was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2019. He takes time to explain things thoroughly and is attentive and kind. I recommend him without reservation.

Understands that I have a life outside treatment and is happy to work around that. He's concerned about my quality of life. He listens to me and my priorities and wants to know how the treatment is affecting me. He responds by adjusting or explaining the treatment. He has a very reassuring manner. He is open to hearing our ideas and always explains his response but doesn’t close things down. I feel well looked after and have confidence in his care.

Prof Gerlinger was so charming when I first saw him. He has a nice calm aura about him which inspires confidence. He made me feel at ease straight away. He explained the situation very clearly and outlined the treatment plan perfectly.
