I have known Dr Polychronis for over 5 years, He says things exactly how they are, if you are wanting to be lied to then he is not the oncologist for you. He has a in depth knowledge in the field he practices, and has been working with many patients that he has helped keep alive for many years. He has a matter of fact way of communicating clinical information. Understandably this is not for everybody, however he is willing to try new treatments and is open to trying new things, he is not stuck to any particular dogma. If you want modern forward thinking treatment then he would be the Consultant for you. Additionally he is available for his patients when they need him a crucial times. Having cancer is obviously a deeply emotional thing, this can mean people put unrealistic expectations on what can be achieved. Dr Polychronis strikes the right balance between reality and hope. Just do not expect to told something that is not the truth.

I have been under Dr Polachronis for a number of months now. He has been very caring, a good listener and nothing has been too much trouble for him. He is very candid which is what i asked of him right from the start. He knows his oncology and always answers my questions in detail and in language i can understand. He has emailed me websites written for patients which have been very useful. He has always reassured me and when things didnt go so well, he was very quick in changing my treatment to control my cancer. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. He's a star.

Dr P is a great doctor. He made me feel at ease from day 1. Always with an optimistic smile, well informed oncologist. I am surprised to read other reviewers' comments! He runs very busy clinics at the Lister but that's not his fault. I've been having treatment for bowel cancer under his care for 3 years and would highly recommend him

The Doctors manner is totally disgusting he gives the impression he just doesn’t care my Daughter and myself came away totally distraught thinking my time was up after my scan results. Going as far as seeing my gp to discuss the results as far as she could see the scan was not as bad as he gave the impression and 4 weeks later at my next appointment he says he’s not sure of results. Personally I think this Doctor needs to take a long look at himself and his attitude to his cancer patients. Not once in 12 months have I felt comfortable asking questions on my condition to this Doctor but have been able to ask my other Doctors. If I new how to go about it I would ask to be referred to another Doctor.

When this doctor gave me my prognosis of terminal colon cancer I was more upset with his manner towards me rather than the actual prognosis which I half expected. My sister had questions such as whether I would be eligible for clinical trials and wanted to understand why radiotherapy was not an option for me. This doctor became very annoyed and gave us no time to explain to us why there were no options. My sister and I left in tears. The treatment received from this doctor at Lister Macmillan is just unforgiveable and unacceptable.
