Dr Polychronis has been treating me for stage 4 lung cancer for 41/2 years. He is candid, honest and contrary to what others say, he clearly does care about my mental health as I to terms with the challenges and setbacks which are inevitable. He is very proactive and up to date with a reassuring level of knowledge and ability to explain the disease and treatments. He is definitely no nonsense but I like that as it is not patronising and I trust what he says. I recommend him.

My elderly father received an appalling level of 'care' from this man. Following Polychronis's insistence that he should continue his prescribed treatment despite severe and prolonged hallucinations and delirium, my father was completely incapacitated requiring hospitalisation for several weeks. My mother contacted Polychronis to say she was transferring my father to the NHS, at which point Polychronis told her that by moving my father to the NHS, he would not receive treatments that were available privately. On checking this with the NHS oncologist, this was completely untrue. Not only that, but she was also told that my father's case had not warranted the medication that he had responded so badly to, nor any other treatment in the short term. I would not recommend Polychronis under any circumstances.

Dr Andreas Polychronis treated my dad for stage 4 lung cancer. He was rude and lazy. He tried to take my dad off immunotherapy when it was working and put him on chemotherapy. We proved Dr Polychronis was wrong by paying for a private consultant and scan and only then was my dad allowed to stay on immuotherapy.

I've been a patient of Dr P's at the Lister for over 5 years. He is knowledgable, and always kind towards me and my husband. He is honest and never holds back any information. Considering how busy he seems to be, he never hurried me in clinic. The patients in the waiting room always praise him. Oh and he has a great sense of humour. I'm a lucky lady to have him as my oncologist. Thanks you Dr P.

This Oncologist was disinterested in supporting my aunt with her diagnoses which was incurable, he showed no care or compassion and was extremely snappy if we had any questions. My aunt originally saw Dr Polychronis within the NHS, so when she was preparing to start palliative treatment privately we noticed that Dr Polychronis practices privately at the same clinic my mother started her treatment. It is safe to say that we scrolled straight past his consultant profile before selecting another Oncologist who was much more professional. My aunt continues her battle with stage 4 cancer - but without the terrible behaviour of the original Oncologist that she saw: Dr Polychronis. People deserves so much better and this doctor really needs to review the meaning of the hippocratic oath.
