AI Review Summary

Mr Andrew Robb is professional, kind, and reassuring when interacting with patients. He gives clear explanations for paediatric urology issues, including bedwetting and recurrent urinary tract infections. Mr Robb is knowledgeable, thorough, and listens carefully to all concerns.
My young son, who has trauma from a past failed surgical procedure somewhere else, visited Dr Andrew Robb for a consultation for follow up surgery. He has gone from being visibly traumatised to having enough trust in Dr Robb to proceed with the second operation. Dr Robb has the best bedside manner with children we have ever been lucky enough to experience. What an unbelievably kind hearted gentleman he is, and we can't recommend him highly enough. If you yourself need surgery, or you have a poorly child with trust issues and are worried about moving forwards, then he is absolutely your man. Thank you Dr Robb from the bottom of our hearts.
The doctor was very patient And explained everything in simple An effective way so we can understand
Needed assistance for my son as he is 15 and bedwets. My son was prescribed medication and touch wood it's working straight away. I just hope it continues!!!! Thanks to Dr Robb and keeping my fingers crossed.
Our consultation with Mr Robb was invaluable in terms of gaining his vast expertise and knowledge about my child's condition. Mr Robb is also very down to earth and friendly, and he reassured both my daughter and us as parents, taking a great deal of time to answer our many questiins. I can't recommend him highly enough, it just remains for us to say a big 'Thank you'.
Our appointment with Andrew was brilliant. He was so kind and listened to all of the concerns we had for our son. We felt he was thorough and explained everything in great detail. We're so relieved we chose to see Andrew and are extremely grateful for how he approached our son's care.
Excellent from start to finish. Great at helping me understand the issue and process. Great work on my son
Dr. Robb is always so reassuring and knowledgeable. He cares about the whole patient, not just the medical issue. Highly recommend him and his team.
We took my daughter to see Mr Andrew Robb, a private urologist, and he was polite, friendly, and very professional throughout the consultation. He took the time to listen carefully to all of our concerns and made us feel at ease. We were very happy with the care and service provided and felt that everything was explained clearly and thoroughly.
Mr Andrew is so supportive and has an excellent manner with children to reassure them.
