Mr Walter Cazzaniga is professional and clear when interacting with patients. He provides excellent care and explains diagnoses and procedures. Patients feel informed and comfortable with various procedures, including adrenal and kidney lesion treatment, robotic partial nephrectomy, and TURP. His skills are highly regarded for robotic nephrectomy and renal cancer treatment.
Mr Cazzaniga was professional and engaged throughout. He listened to my requests and explained the process clearly. Surgery was skillfully completed. There was a follow up consultation soon after to check on my recovery.
From start to finish - cannot thank how quick everyone has treated my condition. And now the following treatment to come is happening at speed. From consultant to nursing staff have experienced kindness empathy and most importantly very professional. Thank you
Mr Cazzaniga was amazing with me! The Surgery scar is a fraction of the width of my former chest scar and is barely visible in places. It is also healing extremely well. As a sufferer of a mild Autistic Spectrum Disorder, he was very good in that aspect as well. As sadly, back in early Autumn The Royal Brompton's very eager Thoracic team was trying to muscle in and take over my procedure against mine and my Oncologist wishes, but Mr Cazzaniga took the lead and sorted it all out, with my consent. I am extremely grateful for Mr Cazzaniga's help and feel he's a great protégé to Professor Nicol.
Mr Cazzaniga told me more about my adrenal and kidney lesions in 30 mins than I had learnt over the past eleven months. Armed with that information I was able to challenge my nhs doctor on the decision to proceed with a biopsy on my kidney before completing tests to determine whether I had cushings syndrome and if the adrenal lesion was malignant. Mr Cazziniga had explained very clearly why it could be fatal to go ahead with the biopsy of the kidney lesion before completing these. . He explained why he suspected I had kidney cancer. It is strange to say, but it was the best £*** I have ever spent. Although I still do not have a definitive diagnosis I now know what is required. I have requested another appointment with Mr Cazziniga to test me for adrenal gland cancer and cushings syndrome. I will be forever thankful He managed to save my life before I even received a diagnosis. With my gained knowledge I hope to move forward more quickly. My only regret is not seeing him sooner.
I recently had a major operation at royal Marsden hospital and within the whole process I felt I was in safe hands and being taken care of by the whole surgeons doctors and nurses. I’m happy with how everything went and would like to thank Mr Cazzaniga
Walter is excellent. He helped me at a time when I was under real pressure with work, and his consultation and follow-up tests were quick, efficient, and easy. He gave me real peace of mind when I needed it most.
Excellent from start to finish, Mr Cazzaniga and his team have been amazing, totally professional and very supportive. I am incredibly grateful for everything he and they have done and for the care throughout the entire journey. I could not have wished or expected better treatment and care. Thank you 🙏
I cannot rate my experience highly enough. Mr Cazzaniga is the complete professional who combines expertise with a wonderful bedside manner. He is inspirational and I feel privileged to be in his care.
