I am writing to express my sincere thanks to Mr Paul Cathcart and all the team at London Urology Specialists for the help and support you have given me throughout my treatment for an enlarged prostrate. I consider myself fortunate to have Mr Cathcart as my consultant surgeon under who's care I have had the very best treatment. Mr Cathcart made improvements to the catherter I used that made a real diffirence in its practicality, making my life considerably more comfortable. He also looked after my wellbeing during this time. I would like to compliment Mr Cathcart not only as an exceptional consultant surgeon but as a person. I found Mr Cathcart easy to talk to, relaxed and I always felt reassured during my consultations with him. I am now making a good recovery after surgery, I can't tell you how much of a diffirence my surgery has made to my quality of life.

My experience of being treated by Mr Cathcart was outstanding throughout. From initial examinations through tests which established that I had prostate cancer, to explaining the options available and on to surgery and post operative care I cannot fault the treatment I received nor the manner in which it was delivered. Mr Cathcart was thorough, empathetic, clear in his explanations of my symptoms and treatment options, and in managing my expectations of the procedure I elected and the recovery process. The outcome of the surgery appears to have been a great success and for that I owe him a huge debt of gratitude. Honourable mention and my sincere thanks are also due to his excellent lead nurse Michael Martin and his efficient and extremely helpful secretary Raimonda. I would unhesitatingly recommend Mr Cathcart and his team to any man who was looking for top class urological care.

After the operation with Paul in 2021. My prostate was 104cc (the size of a grapefruit) this meant that the cancer could not have been fully visible. Paul showed me on his phone the amount of cancer and there was loads of it. Fortunately he managed to get it all and i have been cancer free for 5 years. Now I am on a yearly PSA thanks to Paul.

My experience with Paul Cathcart has been exceptional the whole way through my Radical Prostate removal process, Paul explains everything you need or want to know with total precision and with so much enthusiasm, you can clearly tell that he is passionate about his job. I am so very pleased I chose Paul Cathcart after him being recommended by a previous Urologist to me. Paul's aftercare detail was impeccable and was always at the end of the phone if I needed him. I would recommend Paul in a blink of an eye as a Urologist/Surgeon.

Dr Cathcart's care was excellent both professionally and personally. Quite apart from his wonderful work, and the ensuing amazing result and swift recovery, his bedside manner, and his ability and determination to deal with all of my questions was exemplary. I cannot think of any other Dr, let alone a surgeon, whose care would be on this level.

I was referred to Paul for a radical prostatectomy. Whilst this was quite daunting Paul bestowed a level of confidence and calmness which immediately put my mind at rest. The operation was scheduled incredibly quickly and was performed as planned without any major issues. Paul and his team were incredibly efficient and professional and made the whole process pretty straightforward. Paul's prognosis for recovery was very accurate and in fact he felt that my recovery was actually ahead of where he had envisaged. I would also like to mention Paul's senior nurse, Michael Martin who was incredibly supportive during the initial recovery. He was able to explain very sensitive information in a clear and concise manner again putting the patient at ease. I would like to say a very big thank you to Paul and his team for making my cancer journey as straightforward and positive as it possibly could be.

Following initial consultation, I underwent a RARP with Dr. Cathcart in May 25, with just a short two-day stay in hospital. I have made a full and excellent recovery under the expert care of Paul.
