Dr Urmila Uparkar

Written by a NHS patient at The Royal Marsden Hospital (Sutton)

Since Urmila Uparkar diagnosed my son with his cancer diagnosis we couldn't have been more supported and heard during such a difficult time. Having a supportive paediatric oncologist was incredible. Her attention to detail and the relevant literature she provided on everything from the condition, treatment drugs and side effects helped us navigate the difficult minefield that is childhood brain cancer. She laid out the whole process and gave us an expected timeframe including the caveats. She discussed our sons treatment and listened to our concerns and adapted treatment to suit both our son and us a s parents. She has always been forthcoming with knowledge and investigates a plan thoroughly. She has made post treatment easy to navigate as well, keeping us up to date and with a clear plan and regular meetings to discuss how everything is going. We can't thank her enough for the support during and now post treatment. She is incredible in her field and we are so grateful to have her on our team.

My son & I have only seen Dr Uparkar once but we liked her straight away. She had a great sense of humour, gets things done, explained things very clearly, was very approachable & easy to talk to.

Urmila is a good Doctor, she always has a sense of humour and puts us at ease with her down to earth nature. She explains everything well and will explain again if we have questions. She makes things feel less daunting and over whelming. We trust her and our son has had good results being in her care.

Dr Urmila is very kind and supportive but very direct and very clear about what needs to be done. She is very prompt and very sincere. I’m happy that she was my son’s consultant.
