Explanation

Mr Dawson was friendly and made me feel relaxed. He went further than he needed with the original referral by highlighting my need for a check on my prostate which he did on the day and also highlighting the need for an annual PSA check, which he instructed on the day.

Mr Dawson was very helpful with a clear explanation of what was happening and the next steps. With his assistance I was referred for a scan which has confirmed a stone and I am now receiving appropriate pain relief and treatment. I would highly recommend Mr Dawson for his care and assistance when I was in considerable pain.

Mr Dawson has been a valued colleague for a number of years. He has referred a number of patients to me for specialist care. In every case he has carried out the early investigation and management of these patients to the highest level of competency and care, and I have always been able to discharge our mutual patients back to his care in the knowledge that they are in very good hands. The feedback from our shared care patients is that Mr Dawson is a trusted and caring surgeon who puts their interests at the centre of their care.
