Mr. Thiruchelvam has given me excellent advice, surgery and care. He has been very positive about advising me what to do, clearly setting out the options and then recommending what needs to be done. When I was readmitted to the Charing Cross Hospital some days after discharge from KEVII, he kept in close touch and directed my treatment through his team at CXH. I do feel safe accepting the advice of Mr. Thiruchelvam, his colleagues and his team.

Mr Paul Thiruchelvam is a wonderful pleasant consultant. I was under his care recently and he was very patient he explains everything he does. He made sure I understood all the treatment before and after the surgery. He works from his heart to the highest standard. He is very caring, kind and I felt safe under his care. I'm very pleased with the out come.
May God bless him more.

Dr Thiruchelvam is a wonderful surgeon. He made sure I got my surgery even under the difficulties raised by the lock down restrictions. He explained my treatment clearly and made sure I understood everything. He made me feel secure and at ease during the entire process and I will be forever grateful to him for looking after me.

I felt that Mr Thiruchelvam had my best interests at heart and he did a great job removing my tumour and getting clear margins so I wouldn't need further surgery.
I had symmetrising surgery on my other breast at the same time, again so that I wouldn't have to go back for a second surgery, and I am extremely happy with the result and how my breast look now.
I would definitely recommend Mr Thiruchelvam to anyone have breast surgery.

I can't speak highly enough about my treatment from Mr Paul Thiruchelvam. His expertise and confidence has been tremendously reassuring. Furthermore, he strikes the perfect balance between showing kindness and empathy but also being pragmatic and positive. I found him particularly approachable and very responsive to any and all questions or concerns. I wouldn't hestiate in recommending him to future patients.
