Mr Acher is a very knowledgeable specialist listens intensely and explains everything in detail

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.
5
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.

Very good explained everything fully
