- I have been very impressed with Dr Baijal’s care since the outset. He is very thoughtful and kind with his approach. He is clearly a cancer doctor at the top of his field.
- Dr Baijal’s care for my father has been nothing less than faultless. My father was diagnosed with lung cancer 3 years ago. Dr Baijal’s treatment plans have meant the cancer has been controlled successfully. His mannerisms and the way he communicates always makes us feel at ease no matter how difficult the conversation. We are so grateful for all he has done

- Dr Baijal’s care has been exemplary. He is thorough and he explains things in an honest way which we can understand. I am very grateful to be under his care
- I was referred to Dr Baijal when I had run out of treatments for my lung cancer. My local cancer doctor highly recommended him. I was not disappointed. From day 1 it was clear that he is at the top of his field. He treated me with a new cancer treatment and the results have been very positive. He has given me invaluable extra time. On top of that he is a genuinely caring doctor with the best bed side manner I have ever seen. I cannot praise him enough.
