It was a pleasure to deal with Mr Aho who dealt with the arranging of operation quickly, efficiently and very professionally The operation itself was as described and I left hospital after one day

A true professional in every way. I can not recommend Mr Aho enough - he transformed my life and allowed me to get back to some form of normality after decades of pain and discomfort. I can not speak highly enough of him and his team.

Mr Aho understood my concerns and how this impacted on my quality of life. His history taking and examination was exemplary. His explanation of the options to consider were clear and concise. His bedside manner was excellent and his surgical expertise second to none. I breezed through the HoLEP procedure and was back at work after 4 days and in the gym after 5 days. The procedure was not associated with any untoward discomfort. I now have a symptom score of zero, compared to a very high score prior to surgery. I can recommend Mr Aho as a top urologist, who is a leader in prostate surgery.

Mr Aho was extremely helpful, kind and generous. He is an outstanding surgeon and an excellent communicator. When I first met him, there had been significant problems with my GP prostate diagnosis, which had undermined the possibility of any meaningful or effective treatment. Thanks to Mr Aho, I am now well on the way to a full recovery.
5
Mr Aho explain everything clearly to me and after the procedure when I had questions he emailed me which reassured me all was well. I can only say good things about him he is excellent at what he does I would not hesitate to recommend my friends to him.

Mr Aho is at the peak of his profession

Mr Tev Aho is a wonderful consultant and i am delighted with my treatment and the out come of the HoLEP procedure. No one should hold back from having this procedure which is at the leading edge of enlarged prostate treatment. I am amazed and dismayed that HoLEP has not completely replaced TURPS. Mr Aho deserves enormous praise for bringing this procedure to the UK and championing it for the benefit of patients. Words can not sufficiently express my gratitude
