About

Professor Raj Persad, Consultant Urological Surgeon, currently works within the North Bristol NHS Trust, as well as several private practices in Bristol and London. He is highly specialised in the treatment of benign prostate disease, erectile dysfunction, incontinence, bladder dysfunction, loss of libido, Peyronie's disease, and low testosterone symptoms. He also has a wealth of experience in managing male fertility, performing vasectomies, varicocele correction, and testicular extraction of sperm.

Professor Persad has one of a few surgeons that can offer the use of minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of benign prostate disease such as Urolift, REZUM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh8BAUi6PWo), and Green Light Laser. He is also highly experienced in the use of advanced prostate diagnostic techniques for cancer diagnosis, including 'fusion biopsy' (https://www.prostatecare.co.uk/on-site-fusion-biopsy/). He works in tandem with the oncology team to ensure that post-treatment symptoms of radiation and treatment-induced toxicities are treated effectively. He currently holds the position of one of the leaders in treatment of end stage erectile dysfunction. In cases where medicine or medical devices have not worked, he can offer penile prosthetic insertion in its various forms to suit patient choice. Professor Persad has over 25 years of experience in handling male infertility issues, and bases his practise on treatment plans that suit the patient's lifestyle best with the most up-to-date scientific advice.

He is an active educator, he has mentored Urologists in the UK and abroad and holds the position of visiting professor in several prestigious universities including The Universities of West of England and Bristol.

I have always found that Professor Raj Persad took time to listen to what I had to say. I totally trusted his judgement and that he was always so courteous and came over more as a friend looking after my heath. He gave me much support at the times when I needed reassurance the most. I am so very sorry that he will not be continuing to be my consultant. Wish him all the very best for the future.

Explanation

From the first consultation I felt complete confidence in the Professor’s advice. He clearly explained the treatment that was required and very quickly dismissed the other options that had been put to me. The operation was quick and painless and I was able to return home the same day. The follow up review with the Professor was very positive and he outlined the likely future treatment and life changes that I could expect. My condition has unexpectedly improved more than either of us expected and 6 months on from the operation I am leading a normal pain free life. My experience under the care of the Professor has been exceptional and I cannot praise him enough for his professionalism and his positivity.

Explanation

I took a private consultation with Dr Persad that in my view was the best decision I have ever made. I had a number of options with my prostate cancer diagnosis that I needed help with and especially helping me quantify the risks involved. Dr Persad helped me in my hour of need. He truly is a doctor that listens to you in a calm, considered and kind way. As well as the prostate cancer issue he took me on as a patient at his clinic at Southmead hospital and was the surgeon that performed the TURP operation that was very successful. Thank you Dr Persad Forever grateful Andrew D

Outcome: great success; overnight flow (the problem) largely restored Process: a comfortable one-day procedure. Where Professor Persad excelled was in his fast, informative email responses when I had one or two queries about subsequent symptoms.
