Patient Reviews

Life-Changing Treatment and Care ★★★★★

I was diagnosed of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the floor of the mouth 9 years ago. This was treated through a primary surgery and 30 days of post operative radiotherapy. I thought I had beaten the cancer. 6 (six) years after the treatment, through a follow-up scan, 5 (five) slow growing metastatic noodles were found on my lungs. It was a big blow to me as I was completely confused about how to fight the new disease.

My ENT Surgeon, Mr Allasdiar Mace of Harley Street ENT, advised that we monitor the growth of the cancer cells to determine the appropriate time to commence treatment and also determine the appropriate treatment(s) to combat the disease. A couple of options were considered until my GP at Cromwell Hospital, Dr Helene Nguyen, recommended that I meet with Dr. James Wilson.

I subsequently met with Dr Wilson, a very sound and caring Consultant Clinical Oncologist with specialisation in lung and skin cancer treatment in London. He took his time to explain available treatment options and suggested Stereotactic Radiotherapy.

Dr Wilson constituted a team of experts from all the relevant fields to review my case and schedule the treatment. The treatment was administered in September 2024. It is now a year after and recent follow-up CT scan revealed that there are no new lesions, and the disease has been controlled. This clearly shows the significant benefit of Stereotactic Radiotherapy. There does not seem to be any observable side effect of this treatment very much unlike other known cancer treatments. I feel generally better and healthier.

My experience with this treatment has been very pleasant and I will encourage cancer patients to consider opting for it and contact Dr. Wilson for guidance and support.

A Trusted Second Opinion ★★★★★

I would like to say the biggest thank you possible to Dr Wilson and can not recommend him enough. I would advise anyone who has any concerns about their treatment to seek a second opinion from him. I found him to be very approachable and down to earth. He is extremely knowledgeable, a true professional and most importantly a great listener. Nobody wants to be told they have cancer and it's a worrying and difficult time. He listened to all my concerns, answering any questions truthfully but with compassion. I would rate the service I received from Dr Wilson's clinic five stars from the onset of contacting and booking an appointment with his helpful and friendly secretary to the excellent consultation and the prompt receipt of the very clearly explained in-depth report and detailed treatment plan. I am so pleased that I made the appointment to see Dr Wilson for a second opinion after my general frustrations with the NHS, the limited treatment options offered, the lack of communication, misinformation and the time everything was taking as I now feel more hopeful and positive about my future and to know that I do have other treatment options. I look forward to seeing Dr Wilson again and know I will be in safe hands. I genuinely can not thank him or praise him enough.

Professional, Compassionate, and Efficient ★★★★★

We cannot recommend Dr. Wilson highly enough! It was very easy to get an appointment with him, we were seen quickly and his secretary is also wonderful. He made us feel relaxed from the moment we were called into the appointment. Dr. Wilson was familiar with my complex history and had read all previous clinic letters/scan results. He gave us the opportunity and time to ask any questions that we had, responding with a refreshing optimistic, positive manner whilst being honest about risks and outcomes. We were involved in any decision making about next steps and have been offered treatment very quickly. Dr. Wilson is clearly a highly professional, extremely competent, kind and compassionate Oncologist, with considerable expertise especially in the field of SBRT/SABR (which is what we were enquiring about). We couldn't feel more comfortable and reassured under his care. Many thanks.

Clear Direction in Uncertain Times ★★★★★

Diagnosed 13.08.25. 17.09.25. Just had my consultation with Dr James Wilson and I feel he helped immensely. He firstly went through my medical history and then discussed the new symptoms I had been experiencing. I had scanned the letters from my NHS consultant to him prior to our online meeting and he had these to hand and he had also requested the two recent CT scans which he shared with me and my wife during the consultation and explained his thoughts. He went through all aspects of my case and made recommendations for further investigatory procedures. Dr. Wilson was very empathetic, but was also direct and clear about what needed to be done in the short term to enable me to get the treatment I needed for my condition. When the meeting had concluded both my wife and I felt clearer about the path we needed to take and would recommend a discussion with him to anyone dealing with lung cancer. Ian Huntington

Supportive and Professional Guidance ★★★★★

Our consultation with Dr James Wilson was invaluable. He listened carefully and thoughtfully as we explained the situation with my husband's cancer diagnosis. James has a wonderful, friendly manner and took the time to listen to all of our concerns and carefully explained treatment options and outcomes. At the conclusion of our appointment we really felt well supported by a consummate professional with the knowledge to help us through this difficult time. My advice to anyone seeking specialist help with their diagnosis/treatment plan for cancer would be to contact Dr James Wilson and his team. Many thanks. Lorraine Huntington

Alternative Treatment with Excellent Results ★★★★★

I am so glad to have found Dr Wilson, he offered me an alternative to surgery when I thought there was no other option. As well as treating my skin cancer Dr Wilson understood the importance of the cosmetic outcome to me. Dr Wilson made every effort to accommodate my preferred dates and I have been impressed with how quickly and efficiently my treatment was planned. Throughout, I have felt very well looked after and have had all my questions answered thoroughly and clearly. Dr Wilson's warm and friendly demeanour helped put me at ease at a time when I felt particularly anxious. My whole experience has been a very positive one and I am grateful to Dr Wilson for his expertise and kindness. He is a wonderful doctor and a joy to deal with.

Fast, Thorough, and Reassuring Service ★★★★★

After filling in the contact details I received a phone call within the hour and an appointment was made to see Dr Wilson a couple of days later. Dr Wilson had contacted my consultant at Guys and had been sent all my medical history including scans etc. Dr Wilson went through these in detail with me explaining that he felt that the treatment I had received and was receiving was in his opinion the correct treatment. All questions I asked were answered clearly and in detail. We discussed future treatment options that should be offered to me but if they were not given on the NHS at Guys hospital I could get back in contact with Dr Wilson and the treatment would be available to me within a few days. The whole experience felt professional and left me feeling reassured. I would highly recommend Dr James Wilson.
