I will highly recommend Professor Andrew Wardley. He makes an emphasis on the patient putting their needs and wellbeing first. After second opinion we neded up staying for chemotherapy with him. He spent quite a lot of time getting from my insurance provider what was needed to give me best chance. And i am very grateful for this.
Thank you for taking the time to rate me and your honesty.
My case has been far from straightforward, but Professor Wardley has consistently provided clear information, real support and structure at points of uncertainty. What has made the biggest difference is working with someone that has been willing to advocate for me to receive the highest possible standard of care.
Thank you. Breast cancer is very complicated even for many oncologists. I try to explain complex issues as simply as possible and always put patients first.
He is excellent, always ready to help, and provide insight to how to navigate the NHS. I wish I had gone to him sooner
Thank you. The NHS is a maze. Difficult for those who know it, impossible for those that don't. I'm am glad I could help.
So pleased we came to see Professor Wardley. He immediately put us at ease and was incredibly knowledgeable and patient in explaining my cancer diagnosis and treatment options. I wish I had seen him earlier in my cancer journey.
Thank you for taking the time to review me.
Very knowledgeable in breast cancer. He gave me a thorough overview and helped me understand everything without using extensive medical language.
Thank you for the review. I try to avoid jargon. I am happy I did so.
I needed an urgent appointment and Professor Wardley was able to provide a next day appointment which I really appreciated. Professor Wardley was clear, compassionate and took time to explain everything to me in great detail. He answered all my questions and had already made my next appointment which was very reassuring as it gave me a plan. Thank you so much.
Thank you. I happy that I was able to help
Andrew was fantastic
Thank you
I am very grateful for your expertise compassion and humility. Thank you
You are welcome. I am glad I could help
I completely trusted Professor Wardley, and am eternally grateful to him for looking after me so well and guiding me through the very scary process. Any cancer diagnosis can turn your world upside down, so knowing I had such an esteemed expert on my side was a huge part of my positive mindset. Professor Wardley was with me every step of the way through my treatment, and always had my best interests at heart. I knew I was so lucky to be under his care.
That is so very kind of you.
From the first consultation I felt that Prof. Wardley was in my corner. He was calm, confident and had the very latest research at the tip of his fingers. He swept me through a series of tests and treatments, at each stage calmly explaining the risks and benefits. Five years later I owe my life, and continued good health, to him. Do not hesitate to put your trust in this man.
Thank you. I appreciate your words
