Mr John [Ian] Jenkins

Written by a private patient at The London Clinic

When you get the devastating news that you have cancer you are faced with a plethora of emotions. After the acceptance of the diagnosis. it’s then time to listen to the prognosis and then the expected Treatment plan. I feel very fortunate that my surgeon at Frimley Park Hospital quickly realised that the particular position of my cancer (Colon / Prostate) required an operation that was more complicated than my local hospital normally undertook , hence the referral to Mr Jenkins . Whilst receiving great care & treatment from my oncologist (Dr Essapen) which consisted of Chemo then Radiation, I was referred to Mr Jenkins. I obviously felt trepidation at what may be coming down the line, as the operation was described as “ highly complicated”. From my very first meeting with Mr Jenkins I felt considerably more at ease. As Mr Jenkins explained the complexity of the position of my cancer and the surgery required I couldn’t help but feel more reassured that here was a surgeon who clearly knew what the issues were and had a definite plan for my recovery. He explained the risks, which in themselves could be life changing even if all the cancer were to be removed. During this, the sense of having someone like Mr Jenkins “on your side” is immense. We met again whilst I was undergoing Chemo/Radiotherapy then once this treatment had been completed we met to run through the operation procedures and expected outcomes, then an operation date was set. The operation took place at the London Clinic in June 2024, where I stayed for 8 days . During this time I was regularly visited by Mr Jenkins and indeed by his team. 3 months on and scans are very positive showing the cancer removed. My care during this time has been excellent. I have a longer term catheter which will be removed later this year together with an ileostoma which I also hope to have reversed this year. I would like to thank Mr Jenkins and indeed all the team for everything they have done for me thus far and for helping myself and my wife get through these difficult times. There is more to be done but I feel incredibly lucky to have been referred to Mr Jenkins & Team.

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to be under the care and guidance of Mr Jenkins; he is by far one of the most charming, affable and caring medical professionals I have met, answering all of my (many!) questions with patience, detail and a delightful sense of humour. A full review would be remiss without mention of Mr Jenkins' medical secretary who is superbly responsive and organised and helpful, too. I am so very grateful.

Mr Jenkins is an excellent colorectal specialist. I have received the best attention I could for long term colorectal bowel treatment, under his care. He has a fantastic attention to detail and gives extremely concise clarification of any questions I had regarding the treatment and explained everything in a way I understood it in order for me to make a conscious decision. I would highly recommend him. Also, I have to say he has a very efficient secretary Becky, who was so helpful and got things done. She is very kind and attentive and understanding of the concerns this type of treatment obviously brings and took much of the stress away for me, knowing she would get things in place effectively. Furthermore, the London Clinic care team were all wonderful. I just want to particularly praise two of the team for their care: Andrea and Loren. They (and all the team) were great and very caring and attentive, they helped me enormously when I needed their support.

Immediately recognised the condition I had and was able to provide answers to the many questions I had. Mr Jenkins treated me with empathy, but on top of this I felt like I could trust him completely. He is right at the top of his field.

I first met Mr Jenkins in Feb 2019, I had just been diagnosed with bowel cancer and I was terrified, about what my fate would be, from my first meeting with him, he immediately set the wheels in motion, with the rest of his fantastic team of people, getting all diagnostics done and I was in hospital and had my operation within days. Mr Jenkins and his team made me feel confident and well looked after, they took the fear away. Its Been 5 and a half years now, since my operation and I am fine and healthy, I am so very grateful to Mr Jenkins, he saved my life.
