AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Dr Thiraviyam Elumalai is clear, friendly, and reassuring with patients. He gives expert advice on treatments like radiotherapy and hormone therapy. Patients praise his holistic care, knowledgeable diagnosis, and effective treatment plans which build confidence. Feedback highlights prostate cancer, advanced cases, and hormone therapy.
I met Dr Elumalai first at Addenbrookes where he was reviewing all the tests and scans I had received there. He advised that if I had medical insurance he would recommend Genesis Care where the radiotherapy treatment could be carried out immediately rather than wait several months in the NHS queue. Other benefits were the insertion of a spacer gel to protect the rectum and minimise side effects. Also Genesis could provide the latest hormone treatment tablet, Abiraterone, which was not yet available on the NHS. At follow up meetings at Genesis, Newmarket, Dr Elumalai had all the test and treatment details available on his computer and could answer all my questions. He has provided reassurance regarding the long term effectiveness of the treatment and at the last meeting confirmed that my cancer was now in remission.
Dr Elumalai gave a strong recommendation for the treatment choice, and I am very pleased with the outcome
I had 20 sessions of radiotherapy at Addenbrookes.The staff were uniformly friendly and informative I found the sessions with Dr Elumalai and Mr Styling particularly useful
I feel very fortunate that Dr Elumalai is overseeing my treatment as from the first consultation I knew I would get excellent care. Dr Elumalai is extremely kind and patient as well being very responsive when issues arose during treatment. I often brought a long list of questions to our consultations and always left feeling reassured and with clear answers. I also really like Dr Elumalai's holistic approach to managing treatment and side effects without which I don't think I'd have come through treatment feeling so positive and strong. Thank you Dr Elumalai - I hope many trainee doctors get to learn from you!
On time, excellent feedback and patient care, warm welcome and friendly. Knowledgeable diagnosis and effective treatment plan. Always calm with positive attitude and understanding. Excellent patient and staff relationship. I felt valued.

First rate service . Clear answers given to my queries . Very reassuring.
