Patient Experience

A cancer diagnosis brings a lot of questions. Here is exactly what to expect when you walk through our doors.

We Understand

What Most Patients Worry About Before Their First Visit

Patients are usually concerned about the word "cancer" itself, its stage, possible cure, side effects, costs involved, treatment duration, and what the best strategy is. These concerns are normal. Every one of them is addressed directly at your first consultation.

What stage is my cancer, and what does that mean?
Is it curable, and what are my realistic chances?
What side effects should I prepare for?
What will treatment cost, and is insurance accepted?
How long will treatment take?
What is the best treatment strategy for my case?
Your First Visit

Step by Step, From Walking In to a Treatment Plan

1

One-to-One Attention

You get focused, one-to-one attention to address your problem and concerns, not a rushed appointment. A detailed examination is performed to understand exactly what you are dealing with.

2

Clarity on Stage & Next Tests

You and your family are informed about the need for any further tests, and given a clear picture of the approximate stage of the disease, explained in plain language, not just medical jargon.

3

Treatment Options, Tailored to You

Possible treatment options are laid out, tailor-made to suit your stage of disease, its molecular type, and its biological behaviour, aimed at the best possible outcome for your specific case.

4

A Comprehensive, Multidisciplinary Plan

We provide the best comprehensive multimodality cancer care at affordable cost, using a multidisciplinary approach. Personalized cancer care, organ conservation, and prolonged survival are our motto.

Beyond the Diagnosis

Emotional & Practical Support, Not Just Medical Treatment

We appraise every patient on possible side effects, undertake counselling, and build the patient and family up emotionally to undergo the treatment course and withstand the side effects. Our multidisciplinary support team helps with vocational and functional rehabilitation:

Physiotherapists

Functional rehabilitation to help you regain strength and mobility.

Speech & Swallowing Therapists

Support for patients recovering function after head & neck cancer surgery.

Stoma Care Nurses

Dedicated care and guidance for patients living with a stoma.

Pre & Post-Treatment Counselling

Helping you and your family prepare for, and cope with, the treatment course.

We Help Financially, Too

Beyond accepting most health insurances, we try to help patients financially by offering surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy at concessional rates. Cost should never be the reason someone delays care.
