Explanation

I was referred to Prof Nutting to discuss the need of a 131-Iodine treatment after a total thyroidectomy (thyroid cancer). Prof Nutting is extremely knowledgeable and was very good at sharing his knowledge with me, so that I was able to exactly know what to expect at all stages pre, during and after the therapy. I very much enjoyed his care and the extra care given by his team. I would highly recommend Prof Nutting and his team to my family and my friends.

I felt in safe, competent, realistic hands. Professor Nutting is clear with all aspects of the disease, treatment, care & future. My experience prior to Prof. Nutting was scary to say the least and having him as my Doctor gave me the confidence to get through the treatment and come out the other side.

I have been seeing Professor Christopher Nutting for nearly 2 years and have always found him to be friendly, kind, informative and very easy to talk to. Before I had an operation, he thoughtfully arranged for me to talk to a previous patient who had had the same operation, which was very reassuring.
