I wish I could give Dr. Luke all positive reviews like so many others but not in my Mum’s case.
Long story in short, my Mum was diagnosed with kidney cancer in December 2022. She was scheduled for the surgery by her local urologist in mid April last year. He said he couldn’t move up the surgery due to too many patients. In early April it was confirmed the kidney cancer had spread to the blood vessel and was invading the liver. At this point, my Mum’s local urologist could not perform the surgery anymore. He sent an urgent referral to Dr. Luke. We met him in middle of April. Dr. Luke prioritized my Mum’s surgery and it was done in less than 4 weeks. At the end of the surgery Dr. Luke told me it was done very successfully. Sadly, my Mum passed away in a week after she was discharged from London University hospital due to complications of the surgery. She was 83. She survived only 23 days after the surgery. I was hoping she could live 3+ years with the surgery.
When I brought my Mum to local ER few days after my Mum was discharged from London University hospital due to post-operative symptoms, the doctor in ER called London University hospital via CritiCall. Dr. Luke was away at that time so the senior resident on call responded to ER physician. He said he didn’t feel it was a surgical issue. He was in my Mum’s OR and was involved in her post-operative care. His answer is absolutely not appropriate. I was very disappointed although I didn’t think he was able to fix my Mum’s issue. He got his license at the end of last June. I hope he learned the lesson and treats all his patients in a professional way.
