By a stroke of luck and a telephone call back from a Nurse at Royal Brompton was how I found Prof Molyneaux. I find him clear, to the point and have complete trust and faith in him. He also has patience to be able to sit and listen to my long list of questions and always answers them thoroughly. He has given me such confidence and clear pathway of dealing with my lung condition - something I did not have before. Would highly, highly recommend and thank you Prof M - Julie N

We were being given unclear information by our local consultant and saw Professor Molyneaux. He had clearly gone through my results thoroughly and was well prepared - he knew more than my local doctors! He was clear in explanations and suggested plan, still flexible and has a very reassuring and kind manner. Highly recommend him - especially with all his knowledge. Expertise with a great bedside manner as well- not always easy to find

Firstly, I enjoyed the consultation. Phil is clearly a nice guy and easy to talk to. He obviously keeps good notes or has an unbelievable memory. His interaction has good recall of previous discussions and comments - therefore he knows where I am coming from and what my views are. I am therefore not wasting his or my time and we get to a conclusion which suits him and me in an easy, pleasant and straightforward way.

I’ve been seeing Professor Philip Molyneux at the Wimpole Clinic for over 2 years now for my IPF, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his care. He’s incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and patient — always taking the time to explain each step as he carefully weans me off steroids and monitors my lung capacity. His team are equally wonderful — warm, supportive, and always quick to help. I truly feel in the best hands with Professor Molyneux and his team.
