Mr Garg was the complete professional and I had every confidence in him.

I would only like to ask him to smile just a little bit more, although I know his is a serious profession, he’s just a tad too solemn and might make patients feel more apprehensive. However, I completely understand why he’s quite solemn and it would be totally inappropriate for him to be cracking jokes all the time!

Following my diagnosis at Ipswich Hospital with breast cancer in Nov 2014, Mr Garg performed a therapeutic mammoplasty on my right breast, removing all the cancerous tissue with clear margins.

The service I received from Mr Garg and his team was extremely good. He took the time to explain what was going to happen the exact nature of the surgery he would perform complete with diagrams to help me understand.

I have been attending the breast clinic for the last four months. During this time I have been very impressed by everyone in the team. All the staff have a highly professional approach to the patient, which is coupled to a compassion and understanding of the concerns and worries associated with my condition.

On Monday 1st June I was seen very promptly for my follow up appointment. Mr Garg was the surgeon who carried out my lumpectomy two years ago. At the time he was very informative about the procedure I would have and took great care to explain how important it was for breasts to look good after surgery. That this would help psychologically with recovery and he is absolutely right. I am very pleased with the result. It is reassuring to have annual follow up appointments.

As a result of a regular mammogram a small lump was identified in my breast, after a biopsy it was confirmed as cancerous – but the Breast Care Clinic were fantastic – Mr Garg and Sue Yates, Breast Care nurse, couldn’t have been more supportive. Everything was explained to me and my husband in great detail – we felt quite reassured about my future health.

Having spent the last 2 years with chronic neck, shoulder and backache, I applied for a breast reduction, something which no department I had seen recommended and hadn’t even considered this could have been the sole cause of my discomfort, for having such a large bust to a petite frame. I pursued this though my GP for funding and given the evidence of my discomfort, it was agreed I met the criteria for this to be done.

I found Mr Garg to be very professional in every respect and trusted his every word. I would recommend him to anyone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. His surgery has left me with minimal scaring. I can only thank him from the bottom of my heart for his care and attention. I would also like to thank all of his team for their help and care too.

I have been a patient of Mr Garg for 18 months now following diagnosis of breast cancer. He and nurse Julie provided me with all the information I needed and were sensitive in their treatment of me especially in some dark and confusing times.
Mr Garg successfully undertook breast saving surgery.

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.
