"Confident that I will receive the best treatment possible"

About: Nightingale Hospital Exeter / Devon Diagnostic Centre Ottery St Mary Hospital Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital (Wonford) / Plastic surgery

(as the patient),

I had an appointment recently with Registrar, Claire, at the Ottery St. Mary Oncology Clinic.  She was so nice, helpful and caring and answered all my questions in a sensible and useful manner. 

I will now move onto the next stage of my cancer situation with even more confidence that I will receive the best treatment possible. I waited for a short while in the Café in advance (I was early), and the people there (volunteers and patients) were all so positive and kind - what a pleasant place it is!

I am very fortunate that this is a continuation of the excellent consideration that I have already received from the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital Wonford Plastic Surgery Clinic, and the Nightingale Hospital Exeter, Devon Diagnostic Centre.

Thank you everyone!
