I was recently referred to Rachel Bright-Thomas after a CT scan revealed a nodule in my breast, which needed further investigation. I cannot find words to express how sensitive and kind she is, and I came away feeling re-assured that, whatever the outcome of my tests, I would be in the very best of hands.

From the very beginning of my treatment for breast cancer Rachel guided, reassured and explained everything about the procedures I would be undertaking. She was very professional but always very approachable, listening to all my concerns and worries. She performed a lumpectomy and mastectomy and provided all the necessary follow up care. I have always had complete confidence in her. I honestly do not think she could provide any better care.

Rachel spent time in making sure that we understood each step and was able to reassure both of us. Her bedside manner was calm but kind and we were very happy with the treatment and aftercare received.

For anyone to be told they have cancer is a great shock and worrying experience but Rachel Bright-Thomas was able to guide myself, and my husband, through it all. The confidence she instilled in me by telling me that in my case the cancer was treatable and curable gave me the belief that through her everything was possible. Her professionalism, care, understanding, reassurances and patience are second to none. At no time did I feel embarrassed to cry in front of her and it was a pleasure to share the smiles and laughter. Her guidance and explanation through each step was invaluable. Rachel is a remarkable surgeon having performed a lumpectomy and mastectomy. I cannot thank Rachel enough for what she has done for me, along with Claire her extremely efficient and hard working assistant, and I would not hesitate to recommend her.
