Mr Paul Thiruchelvam

Written by a private patient at Charing Cross Hospital

I cannot recommend Mr Thiruchelvam highly enough. His attention to detail in every aspect is off the chart. Every base was was covered ensuring that the very best team was in place and that every aspect of the process from testing, to surgery and post operative care was delivered seamlessly. His manner of explaining everything is transparent and easy to understand, expressing great empathy but not sugar coating. The surgical procedure was excellent and the recovery has been very well monitored. The administrative side was also excellent from appointment organisation to guidance with the insurance procedure.

Written by a private patient at New Victoria Hospital

Dear Mr Thiruchelvam I am writing to you to thank you wholeheartedly for the level of care that I have received in your clinic since the diagnosis of my breast cancer in May. When I came to the New Victoria Hospital on Friday 27 May, I genuinely believed that I just needed to have another image taken to replace the one that was blurred, and that I would be back to work that afternoon! I soon sensed that this wasn’t the case and to my horror, that I was likely to have cancer. Despite the shock, I felt reassured and in safe hands and I was very impressed by the speed of the diagnostic process. Once diagnosed, I felt hugely comforted by your expertise and the initial support I received from Angela Hawkins, your breast care nurse. Both of you were repeatedly prepared to answer my questions carefully and thoughtfully to alleviate my worries, and your Practice Manager, Michelle Wright, was consistently quick to answer my queries. It was extremely reassuring to know that you work with such a professional team of doctors and consultants, and the referral process was always quick and easy during such a stressful time. I found it very beneficial to have regular contact and consultations with you; this meant that I felt highly informed before my mastectomy surgery and I felt that I was going to be well looked after. As I prepare for the next stage of my treatment, I will always look back at the early stages of my diagnosis with one of great care and compassion. I would strongly recommend anyone going through what I did to come to your clinic, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for removing my cancer. With warmest regards Anja Webster

Written by a private patient at King Edward VII Hospital

I have recently been through breast cancer and was cared for by Mr Thirulchelvam and his team at King Edward VII Hospital. Mr Thiruchelvam was always calm and focussed, and despite being someone with many responsibilities, always made me feel the centre of attention and his primary concern when I was in his care. I had lumpectomy and LICAP surgery and am very pleased with the result of my cancer-free, reconstructed breast. The same can be said of the excellent team he leads. Each of them are empathetic, extremely competent professionals that made my journey through breast cancer surgery a reassuring and, given the circumstances, positive experience. They were kind and patient at every stage. And always happy to answer my questions and take the time to explain what was going on during each part of my healing journey. As a result, I felt very safe and cared for during an uncertain, emotional and stressful time. Special thanks to: Michelle, Mr Thiruchelvam's PA who is very kind and always responded to any question I had, no matter how small. She was super organised, prompt and efficient in planning all the very many moving parts of the process. Dr Matt Brown, whose calm and reassuring guidance on managing pain and the post surgery was invaluable. He also provided great tips to manage both stress and the physical effects of surgery. Amelia Cook and Helen Froid, the breast care nurses at King Edwards VII provided lots of care and guidance at each stage of healing process. They checked in with me post surgery and provided useful advice when I needed it and suggestions to support the healing process. And, the anesthesiologists, nurses and support staff at King Edward VII whose pre and post surgical care was excellent. Finally, words cannot really express how fortunate I feel to have been in the care of Mr Thiruchelvam and his team. All I can say is a heartfelt thank you for the skill, care and kindness to all who’ve contributed to making a challenging time easier and less stressful than it might have been. Thank you all!
