Mr Niziol was a member of Mr Fry's head and neck team who managed my cancer in 2020. His professional down to earth approach,matched by his first class surgical skills made the experience of very invasive surgery bearable. I am grateful for the good fortune to have been under his care. During post surgery,he was very attentive and spent time with an open bedside manner, enabling me to relax ,having total confidence in his obvious skills...thank you Raff

Mr Niziol was very positive and encouraging with regard to my post-op recovery and this helped me to progress each day towards discharge and a subsequent follow-up appointment. He took time to explain results and I felt comfortable in being allowed time to ask questions without being hurried through the appointment.

Mr Niziol performed my cancer surgery nearly 4 years ago. Since then regular follow ups have assuaged any concerns I have had accompanied by detailed explanations. A reassuring presence on my pathway to recovery.

From the very first encounter, Mr. Raf exuded a remarkable sense of warmth and professionalism that immediately put me at ease. His thorough explanation of the treatment plan instilled confidence and clarity guiding me through each step with patience and care. Post-operation, Mr. Raf's dedication went above and beyond expectations. His multiple visits to check on my recovery including one on his day off during the weekend, truly showcased his commitment to his patients well-being. Furthermore, his thoughtful gesture of personally procuring the necessary mouthwash exemplifies his exceptional level of attentiveness and empathy. In every interaction, Mr. Raf's genuine concern for his patients shines through. His warm-hearted demeanor coupled with his unwavering dedication to providing the highest quality of care sets him apart as a healthcare professional who consistently goes the extra mile. Words cannot adequately express my gratitude for Mr. Raf's exemplary service. He embodies the epitome of compassionate healthcare, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of exceptional medical care. Reno C

Raf Niziol immediately put me at ease from the minute I walked into the room. His manner was kind, professional, relaxed and informative. He explained every step clearly and concisely. The procedures he undertook were things I'm practically phobic about, but he was so confident, swift and reassuring I felt completely at ease. It turned out to be a pleasant experience, which I was not expecting! Thank you

My experience with Dr Raf has been amazing. I came to Dr Raf for a check up after one scan came back as suspicious. At the first appointment, after doing an examination, Dr Raf explained to me straight away that he felt something and it is possible that the cancer had come back. Dr Raf was great at explaining everything step by step and making sure I understood every step of the process. The explanation of the surgery was very clear and he answered all the questions I had thoroughly and carefully. I am extremely lucky and grateful to have been seen to by him and have him as a surgeon for my operation which went as planned. After the surgery I was visited by Dr Raf to make sure everything was going well, he is great at putting my mind at ease with any worries I have and at encouraging me to continue with the physiotherapy I need to do. I feel very reassured and again extremely grateful that Dr Raf was one of the doctors and surgeons who helped me during this incredibly difficult part of my life. From Albina G

Mr Niziol was a key member of the surgical team that saved my life when I was diagnosed with mouth cancer. The complex operation took 11 hours followed by 30 sessions of radiotherapy and months of recovery. 4 years on I'm still here, enjoying life with family and friends and still looked after by Raf and the team. Forever grateful
