In July 2023 I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. The only option I was offered by the NHS was “Watchful Waiting”, and as my cancer developed, hormone treatment to slow the progress of my cancer. I asked my consultant if the roles were reversed would he be happy to accept my prognosis, he said no! He then referred me to Professor Prasanna Sooriakumaran (Professor PS) at the Cleveland Clinic London (CCL). I was reluctant to go to London as I live in Stratford upon Avon and the logistics of traveling to London, parking, hotel accommodation (The CCL offer some excellent packages to cover these areas) and the lack of available close support from family and friends, seemed somewhat daunting. However, in my meetings with Professor PS I became convinced he was the right choice to be my consultant. Professor PS was understanding of my concerns, outlined all my options in detail, and explained why a Radical Prostatectomy would be my best option. He took me through all the stages of the procedure from diagnosis to how my operation would be performed to recovery. Professor PS treated me with respect, understanding and kindness and I was conscious I was dealing with someone at the very top of their game. He was very honest with me explaining that my weight and size of my prostate would make the operation more complicated. I heeded his advice and lost two stone and generally ensured my fitness levels improved before the date of my operation. Fortunately, even with the complications of my weight and the extensive reconstructive surgery required, my radical prostatectomy was a complete success. My recovery has been nothing less than spectacular. The nursing staff at the Cleveland Clinic were excellent. After the surgery I had no pain and no discomfort. I was able to get up the day after my operation and walk about and went home two days later. After 3 weeks I had my catheter removed and was discharged from the CCL. Professor PS kept in touch with me during this period and made time to visit me just before I was discharged.

Really helpful, listens and is passionate about the care for his patients

Very happy with everything - operation and follow up

Super guy Very helpful and reassuring Loverly bedside manner

Mr Ballaro is always reassuring and puts my mind at ease I have full confidence in him at all times.

Mr Saeb-Parsy seemed to me very authoritative, but he was also very friendly. I enjoyed my discussion with him, and it left me feeling altogether inclined to follow his advice.

Patient, interested in my patients journey and available when needed. Also technically superb!

Dr Andrich is in every way a superb surgeon clinician and diagnostician. But above all she involves her patient fully with detailed explanations (including to the patient's spouse) of her diagnosis, her surgical plan and her follow up plan. That attention to every detail has been fantastic and goes well beyond what a surgeon needs to do (especially one with such a busy schedule). To me she has been truly excellent in every way possible.

Mr Cohen carefully listened to my concerns and explained in easy-to-understand terms my medical problem. He encouraged me to ask if I had any questions about the proposed treatment. His friendly manner immediately put me at ease and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing his services.

A very fine experience with a very fine leading, courteous and sympathetic senior consultant surgeon in the field, amongst the best particularly when the treatment is long term and highly complex.
