Superb first-class care and attention from everyone in the breast care team. Support and information given at every stage with assurance and compassion. Every procedure explained in great detail and backed up with written information and explanations.

Thank you all so much for your care and support – it is very reassuring at a difficult time.

I conveyed to Dr Garg all my fears about my operation and he took the time to explain everything he would be doing using simple diagrams that helped me understand and allayed all my fears. I was given options and explanations regarding reconstruction and received recommendations based on his experience which I was happy accept.

Mr Garg is a surgeon of great skill and I felt confident in putting myself in his hands for my recent surgery at the Nuffield Ipswich, for breast cancer. He is very thorough, arranging for a bone and CT scan, and has a calm and reassuring manner. Compliments should also be paid to his secretary Wendy, who was always available to guide me through the admin and to answer my queries, on one occasion getting back to me well into the evening.

Mr Garg is a gentle and sympathetic doctor. I think it would have helped me if he had been more realistic about the outcome of my surgery, firstly about the appearance of my breast – I think there will be far more scarring than I was lead to believe; and secondly about the results of the biopsy – it came as quite a shock to find that chemotherapy was recommended and that this would give me a 75% chance of survival (rather more than just an inconvenience!)

I wish to express my thanks and appreciation for the wonderful treatment, support and care shown to me during my visit with Mr Garg at Ipswich Hospital.

He has been extremely professional yet caring with excellent listening skills I certainly appreciate Mr Garg and his surgical team for their expertise in the operating theatre and for the post-operative care.

Mr Garg provided a wondeful level of care for me. He was sensitive to my needs but also had a good sense of humour which I needed at the time. I am very pleased with the results of my surgery and everything is healing well. He was available when I panicked and returned to the hospital for a check up and very kind and reassuring at all times. I never doubted I was in good hands and felt very confident that he was in charge of my surgery. I am extremely grateful to him and his team. They provide an amazing personal service and I will be sending a thank you to them personally.

I was given informative info throughout my procedure and felt very comfortable with all aspects of my care with Mr Garg

Mr. Garg is very realistic and straightforward in his approach from assessment, to diagnosis and until the combined results meeting. Initially during the assessment, he said there was a lump that needed investigation and informed me realistically after the ultrasound, mammogram that it may be fibroadenoma though needed biopsy . When the biopsy results came, he said straightaway it was mucinous cancer with a good prognosis though we need to await for tissue analysis to confirm treatment. He said I will most likely have radiotherapy which is actually what Iam going to have.

Prior to my mastectomy with immediate reconstruction Mr Garg offered information to enable me to make decisions and be prepared for the outcome of the surgery. This information proved to be both accurate and honest and the results were as I expected based on all the information I had been given. I found him to be both approachable and reassuring both before and after the surgery. As I am an older lady I am experiencing more issues than expected with my arm following the lymph node removal however Mr Garg has assured me that these will be resolved in time with exercise.

Mr. Garg is not only a brilliant surgeon but a lovely man. Although my treatment wasn’t anything serious such as cancer, he made me feel just as important. I could go on for hours just how amazing Mr. Garg is, from start to finish he was with me throughout my treatment and it’s safe to say we have established a solid friendly patient/surgeon relationship. I can’t thank him enough for everything he has done for me. I would trust this man with a scalpel any day of the week and it’s been a pleasure being in his care.
