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.

I have recently been diagnosed with IPF. Prof Molyneux reassured me that there is a lot of research in the pipeline into this particular illness and suggested I take part in a trial.

Excellent consultation, explained everything so clearly even though it wasn’t the best news. The only downside is that Professor Phil is a Man City supporter.

Information given was put in simple terms and based on years of research and experience. His meetings were given with empathy to my wife and gave us choices without dictating a forward plan
