I cannot fault the kindness, friendliness, professionalism and clinical excellence of Professor Payne. Blessed are they who have the good fortune to receive medical care of such quality and such humanity. In the course of working for more than 40 years as a doctor I have met many excellent colleagues but occasionally one encounters someone who is truly remarkable. Professor Payne is just that - truly exceptional.

Professor Payne managed to make me feel relaxed, She was reassuring in her manner and it was very clear that she really knew her subject. She used models to ensure I was clear in what the cancer was, where it was and how it would affect me. She also clarified how the treatment worked, which until I spoke with her had not been fully explained (by my local health service). Hers was a second opinion to give me reassurance and understanding of my cancer and treatment and it really was money well spent. Thank you Professor Payne, I appreciate the consultation with you.
