Following the successful removal of my thymus & course of radiotherapy 7 years ago Dr James Wilson has continued to review my health on a regular basis with the benefit of alternating CT & X-rays to accompany the face to face consultations. Dr Wilson has an excellent doctor/patient engagement style taking time to explain the results of the treatment I received and results of my scans in addition to carefully listening and answering any questions I had.

I have been under Dr Wilson`s care since the initial diagnose of skin cancer and Dr Wilson has been extremely supportive since the start , he is very professional , he explained us things in details and easy for us to understand , he has a friendly approach which is very reassuring especially in the initial phase when a patient is faced with the bad news they are receiving. He cares for his patients and also for the people who care for them.( often their partner or best friends). Many people forget how this battle can be hard not only for the patient but for their carers too , and Dr Wilson genuinely cares for the wellbeing (both physical and mental) of his patients and their family, he often asked to my partner , how are you , how are you coping, and I don`t know of many doctors who do that. We are grateful to have him as our Doctor. Paolo and Maryann

As Medical professionals with considerable personal experience from both sides, we were fortunate enough to be referred to Dr James Wilson for my Radiotherapy. Throughout our time under Dr Wilson's care my husband and I have been greatly impressed, not only of course by his professionalism, but additionally and especially, by his genuine empathy and kindness which he unfailingly displayed for our benefit. My only regret is that I didn't have the opportunity to encounter him earlier, as a role model for the development of personal relationships, in my own medical career. Dr & Mrs N. I. N(Retired).
