Mr Sahai has been very reassuring and patient with me. I appreciate how he talks me through issues and helps me see thd pros and cons of management options for my challenges

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.

Mr Young has an extremely courteous and reassuring manner. He explained the situation and different possibilities very calmly and clearly. His whole demeanor gave me great confidence in his abilities. Consultants can sometimes be condescending, which is not at all the case with Mr Young. The procedure itself went without a hitch. The result is hugely impressive - in a highly visible place (tip of my nose) the repair is unobtrusive just 2 months after the operation, with a great contour. I think that once the redness has faded completely, it will be very hard to spot that anything has happened at all. I would not hesitate both to recommend Mr Young to others and to go back to him if I ever needed a different intervention.

Very nice gentleman

My consulation with Mr Christian Brown was of great benefit following my recent diagnosis of prostate cancer. His explanation of the treatment options, the surgical procedure and side effects was very clear and informative.

I felt confident and at ease during my consultations and procedures.

Brilliant doctor, clear explanation, very efficient. Highly recommended!

Good helpful friendly service. Also good bedside manner and sense of humour

After a consultation and the various tests Professor Persad recommended the Rezum operation for my enlarged benign prostate. He clearly explained the procedure reassured me about what benefits I could expect. The surgery itself was very smooth and efficient and in recovery he was there to brief me on how it had gone. I needed a catheter for two weeks and I did find this more uncomfortable than I had expected, and the two weeks after it was removed weren’t much better, but suddenly after 5 weeks the improvements were almost instantaneous- with a flow rate just like I last experienced as a 20 year old, with no discomfort, as I now am able to completely empty my bladder when I need to. I would have no hesitation in recommending Professor Persad and the Rezum procedure.

Mr Chetwood was outstanding throughout the whole process, from initial consultation to the follow up. He really took the time to listen to questions, and every part was explained clearly to me. This was my first surgery, but I felt well prepared for every step, and nothing was unclear. He also took the time to get to know you as an individual, which makes the overall experience much less stressful
