Mr Barber performed a Urolift procedure, to relieve an enlarged prostate urination restriction. Tamsulosin helped for a while, but the side effects were not satisfactory to me (particularly light-headedness). The benefits and risks, as well as alternative procedures, were clearly explained to me. The procedure itself was carried out in what seemed to me, as the layman customer, a very professional manner. I felt the benefits after a few days and was fully recovered, back to better than before my more recent problems had started, in under 3 weeks. Mr Barber has been pleasant to deal with, professional, friendly, but to the point. So far as I can tell, everything has gone very well, which I can only assume is down to his skill and care in carrying out the procedure. Fortunately, I have no other means of making a comparison! I would recommend Mr Barber without hesitation.

I have found Mr Neil Barber to be extremely professional, caring and very experienced. I found that he had a good attitude towards me which made me feel relaxed in his company and easy to discuss my medical problem.

I have always felt that I was advised by and in the care of an experienced and professional individual, who gave me a clear understanding of my health situation.

I had a robotic assisted partial nephrectomy with Mr barber and from the first meeting I felt confident that he is the right surgeon. He explained thoroughly everything ore and post operation and followed up after then surgery to ensure all is ok. I highly recommend Dr barber.

Kind, clear in explaining what the alternatives are, what will happen next and very patient. I am now able to make my choice of action and am currently dealing with his secretary to arrange the next step. Very responsive. I am not looking forward to the operation but am feeling comfortable in knowing I am in the right hands and that my life will improve from having the procedure in the way explained.. I hope this helps you make the choice and will return after the operation.

I was referred to Mr Neil Barber by another consultant urologist; a good recommendation in itself. At our first meeting he discussed the options available to me - and their relative advantages and disadvantages - at some length. As a result I felt able to make an informed decision on the way forward. I was admitted to a private London hospital for PVP surgery by Mr Barber; it all went smoothly and I'm recovering well from this.

Great experience with Neil Barber. I am 69 and very healthy. Symptoms of BPH started when I was 50 in 2001 and progressively got worse over the years despite various medications and other natural remedies. I had two previous procedures for BPH, in 2013 Prostate Artery Embolisation and in 2016 Standard Urolift both with different Urology Consultants prior to meeting Neil Barber in 2020. Neither of the two previous procedures made any meaningful difference and for good reason, I did not have a typical BPH constriction problem, it was exacerbated by an enlarged protruding Median Lobe which neither of the previous procedures could properly rectify. I had avoided having TURP and other procedures which most likely would have worked but risked unwanted side effects. Flow was literally down to an embarrassing and uncomfortable trickle and there were a few occasions when I thought I may go into Acute Urinary retention but fortunately didn’t. I was an enthusiastic supporter of Urolift even though the standard version of their procedure had not fixed the problem. I had read about a pioneering variation of Standard Urolift developed by Peter Chin in Australia for BPH Median Lobe patients, I also read that Neil Barber was one of only a few consultants in Europe who been working closely with Peter Chin on this innovative development. It took a few years for this variation to get to regulatory approval so I waited till it did. I contacted Neil early 2020 and got an appointment with him in just a few weeks. He gave me total confidence that he could rectify the problem with this new variation, he has a great manner and brings a bit of humour – great guy! Remarkably I was booked in for the procedure within 6 weeks through the NHS at Spire Clare Park but then Covid happened and it got postponed till late September. The procedure has now been done and has been a great success, I had a general anaesthetic but was out of the hospital within 5 hours and peeing like a twenty year old again – and no post-op catheter needed! Within two days I was cycling again and a week later spent a few days on holiday in the UK. Two months in now and all is great, everything works perfectly. No side effects and all normal sexual functionality preserved which had been a concern for me with the TURP option and some of the others. I get up just once a night now and I expect with a bit more self-discipline and not drinking coffee late in the evening I could probably go through the whole night. Can’t recommend Neil highly enough, he’s absolutely at the top of his profession and a delight to meet.

Excellent experience with Neil Barber; straightforward, with a good sense of humour, I would and have recommended him to various people.

I had an operation performed by Mr Barber at Frimley Park Hospital ( robot assisted partial nephrectomy)on Friday 12th June 2020, and I would like to say that before the operation Mr Barber really put me at ease as I was a little apprehensive of what was going to happen, then when I came round in recovery Mr Barber was there and explained how the operation went. I would really like to say how professional Mr Barber has been all the way through this since I first me with Nr Barber back in February, he is a credit to his profession and also the NHS.

Excellent
