Dr Sir Joseph ‘Joey’ John has reacted strongly to claims in a recent New York Times article which made certain claims surrounding cancer treatments at his medical practice in Antigua.

The article claims that “investigations are ongoing to evaluate the circumstances surrounding the treatments and their tragic outcomes.”

However, the veteran surgeon says the article contained inaccurate and misleading information regarding the care provided at his clinic.

He has strongly refuted the claims in the article, while noting he is constrained to go into details because of his commitment to doctor-patient confidentiality.

He makes it clear the clinic, and the entire team uphold the highest standards of medical practice.

Dr John says, “In the instance of our treatment of terminally ill cancer patients with multiple, complex medical challenges, our team of highly qualified doctors and nurses provides the best possible care with the highest degree of professionalism.

We take great pride in our work and the positive impact we have made on thousands of lives, even in the face of difficult circumstances.

It is also instructive to note that many patients treated in this instance sent us messages of gratitude and complimented us on the diligent care that they received. While I am sympathetic to families who have lost loved ones facing terminal cancer diagnosis, allegations that we provided anything less than stellar care are systematically untrue.”
