  • Mr Patani is the exact person a woman needs when going through a breast cancer diagnosis. He is professional, reassuring and welcoming. I am so lucky to have had him as my consultant and surgeon during this time.

  • I had a very positive experience with Mr Patani. Mr Pantani was thorough, approachable, and explained everything in a calm and clear manner. I felt at ease throughout the appointment and appreciated the time taken to address all my concerns. The level of care and professionalism was exceptional, and I left feeling reassured and well informed. I I would highly recommend them to anyone needing expert advice and compassionate care.

  • The waiting room in the Mammograppy/Ultrasound Centre needs to be better maintained (leftover cups cleared etc). Also after my Mammography I sat to wait for the reading to be checked and then was taken in for an ultrasound without anyone coming to explain what was happening next or why.

  • I have been treated by Mr. Patani for a year and a half now. From initial diagnosis, through to surgery and after care, I can only say that he has been excellent. He is informative and reiterates all relevant details in a kind and gentle manner. But the important stuff, he's an excellent surgeon, I cannot compliment him enough on the work he did for me. Considering I had a large tumor, 'in bra' I look no different. I would certainly recommend him.
