The Doctor was very good, he was very informative and took the time to explain in good detail. I was aware of what was going to happen and the process my mother was going to follow. I was impressed that all the appointments where made ahead of time allowing us to plan. My mother had breast cancer and the doctor was very descriptive, as she is elderly this was a little to much for her to take in all at once - I felt a simple flow diagram/ pictorial explanation of the procedure and "what happens next" would have been useful for her to take away and digest. There where a number of dates and times and different locations all on individual pieces of paperwork /documentation, again this was a little confusing for my mother who was anxious about missing an appointment, again if this was collated on one summary sheet in date order this again would be helpful. On the whole the service was very good and very efficient and we where very grateful for the advice that the Doctor gave.....

Mr Garg helped me when I was diagnosed with a lump in my breast. He was very reassuring throughout and did a very careful and skilful operation - the scar on the breast was very neat indeed. I felt that I was being cared for by someone who really understood his subject. Thank you

Mr Garg was very friendly and helped answer any questions I had before during and after the surgery. He make me aware of likely outcomes after the surgery so I was prepared. On the day on the surgery I met with him about 30 mins before I went into theatre he was smiley and put me at ease, along with the other staff. The only critic I have is that sometimes I could have done with him taking the lead on questions with things I potentially had not thought about, maybe from other patients. I felt very much like if I didn't ask the question I probably wouldn't know. However when I did ask his answers were helpful and good.

I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Garg. He is caring, compassionate, highly skilled and just what one needs at a scary time. He took time to explain everything about the procedure and he takes such care with the surgery that any scarring is minimal.

Early in September 2014 I found myself in a very frightening situation. A routine mammogram showed a tumour which turned out to be cancerous. From the first day that I was introduced to Mr Garg I felt completely at ease, he explained the operation that I would need in simple terms and was very kind and sympathetic to both myself and my daughter. Reassuring us that he would do the utmost that he could to remove all the cancer. Following surgery to remove the tumour and then another to clear lymph nodes, Mr Gargs surgical skills are second to none. The scars are minimal. I am now going to be starting a course of chemotherapy. I can thoroughly reccommend Mr Garg as a brilliant surgeon and also a very compassionate man. I feel very lucky to have been in his care.
