Mr Acher was amazing. He explained everything to my wife and I, in a manner that eleviated our concerns for the cyst on my kidney. Words alone cannot praise him enough - he's just a brilliant consultant. When he gave us the great news that there was nothing sinister, he was literally beaming. A moment we will always treasure.

I was delighted with all aspects of the treatment I received from Peter Acher. His advice and attitude put me at ease. I had fully researched the procedure in advance. Peter Acher's skilled surgery not only cured the problem but gave me my life back. I shall always be grateful.

Peter’s professionalism, operation skill, ability to listen with sensitivity and articulate so clearly at both pre and post procedure gave me and has left me with total confidence in him. He is a complete professional (and a very nice guy) and someone who I would not hesitate to recommend or return to should I need Urology treatment again.

I am currently being treated by Mr Peter Acher for prostate cancer. I am going to have Brachytherapy to hopefully destroy the cancer. Peter had been very caring and has explained every step along the way. He is very sympathetic and professional, I could not be in better hands. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone in need of help, as he has shown me that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
