Mr Paul Thiruchelvam

Written by a patient at Charing Cross Hospital

Paul is an exceptional healthcare professional and an exceptional human being. He puts you at ease instantly, no matter how bad the news is. You know that you are under the best possible care. And the thing is, he truly cares about each and every one of his patients - that much is clear from reading all of the reviews here. His knowledge of his subject is superb and he clearly keeps on top of all the latest developments. He also has the most incredible recall and from a patient point of view, it's hugely reassuring to see how he remembers the specific details of your case, no matter how minor. My only hope is that the NHS can retain such incredible talent - Paul is at the top of his game from every point of view and the NHS needs to stop frustrating the healthcare professionals who go the extra mile every single day and who are so incredibly dedicated.

Paul Thiruchelvam is a very special doctor - he made me feel totally safe and answered all my questions. He was very clear about what was happening in my body and what procedures were going to take place. After my surgery he came to visit me and he made me smile with his genuine way of caring. He gave me attention when I needed it the most and I thank him for every step of the way.

I had surgery on both breast (one lumpectomy). Dr Thiruchelvam took great care in the future look of my breast. The outcome was great - I don't have to turn my back in any changing room!

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my left breast at the end of May. Mr Thiruchelvam was clear and calm in explaining what type of cancer I had. Having had all of the various scans, I met with him again and he gave me a few options for treatment and made his recommendation. It was a very difficult decision, not knowing what to do, however, he and my specialist nurse helped me along the way and I felt confident I had made the right decision. I had a left breast wire localised wide local excision, sentinel node biopsy and bilateral mammoplasty. The time leading up to the operation was very scary, particularly the morning of the surgery, however, Mr Thiruchelvam and his team made me feel as calm as possible. He explained what they were going to do, how long it would take and what would happen afterwards. I was very sick post surgery and Mr Thiruchelvam and Mr Leff came to see me late in the night, making sure I had enough fluids and was made as comfortable as possible. The following morning, he checked on me again and told me I could go home. I was anxious about going home so soon, but he reassured me that I would be fine. I had a follow up appointment earlier than expected as Mr Thiruchelvam received the the pathology report early and did not want me to wait another week. He was again clear and compassionate and told me the results were the best we could ask for. With plenty of rest and doing the recommended exercises, I have recovered well. I have had to go into the breast clinic a few times with pain under my left arm, and each time Mr Thiruchelvam has either attended or been aware of my visit and helped me with what I should be doing. I feel very fortunate to have been treated and cared for by Mr Thiruchelvam and would highly recommend him. I would also like to acknowledged the care from his team and the rest of the Breast Services team who are truly amazing at what they do and looked after me so very well.
