Having been diagnosed with prostate cancer at an early stage via the NHS I was offered either active surveillance or prostate removal, neither option to my mind allowed me to carry on with life as "normal", this was a life changing news! Having been advised that other treatments were available I made contact with Sage Urology who obtained my medical records for consideration. Mr Laniado discussed options with myself and my wife via a video call and suggested a further MRI scan to ensure that the suggested HIFU treatment was appropriate. I was then advised of any possible side effects in a factual manor based on past statistics, and the decision was made to proceed with HIFU treatment, by this time having spoken to Mr Laniado on numerous occasions there was no question in my mind this was the best way to proceed. Mr Laniado's team set up all appointment to suit me and could not be more helpful in getting the procedure arranged as quickly as possible. The procedure itself was undertaken as a day case, on arrival I was seen by Mr Laniado who repeated what any possible complications may be and double checked I was happy to proceed. On waking from the operation I was in no pain and was allowed home, the following morning I was able to go out for coffee and required no pain killers. Within 8 days of the operation I had a further MRI Scan and a further consultation with Mr Laniado confirmed that I no longer had cancer, equally I have no side effects and remain fully functional! I feel privileged to have been treated by Mr Laniado, he is clearly passionate about his work and clearly wants the best possible outcome for those in his care, he has also provided me with encourage to continue with my wight loss and provided dietary advice to minimise my risk of being hit with cancer again. I can not thank Mr Laniado enough for his care, reassurance and efficiency, my life now goes on as it was before my diagnosis, the problem is sorted, all thanks to Mr Laniado and his team, simple brilliant!

Friendly, aware of my details and very professional. Patient answered my numerous questions comprehensively.

Despite my diagnosis Professor PS made the whole experience as easy as possible for me. He explained everything fully and in simple terms. He advised on both preparation for, and post operation. Both credible and reliable PSs level of confidence was very reassuring to me throughout; he always did what he said he would do which is very rare these days. He genuinely had my best interests at heart at all points of our conversations and was always available. Whilst succint, PS has an excellent 'bedside' manner and where appropriate could inject humour to a conversation. It was also clear to me that PS was respected and well liked by the team. I attribute the success of my operation and recovery to PS's attitude, skill and knowledge for which I will always be grateful.

Very clear explanation of the likely problem and possible treatments. Friendly, courteous and approachable.

My impressions of Professor Rajan are - warm, professional, very thorough and prepared to go the extra mile. What more could you want.

I was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer and was most concerned that as my prostate was not enlarged and I had zero urological issues I would come out post Op with urinary and erectile problems as my MRI showed my cancer was on both lobes close to nerves controlling function. I contacted Mr Ashwin Sridhars secretary and I was booked in on the same day for an initial consultation. He explained that he could perform a Retzius sparing robot assisted radical prostatectomy with NeuroSAFE , In his opinion this would give me the best chance to minimise nerve damage, to preserve my erectile function and give me a better outcome. This was not available is not available with the NHS. Mr Sridhar clearly explained the procedure and booked me into The London Clinic for surgery 3 weeks later. He sent me to a physio a few days later to learn the correct technique and start daily pelvic floor exercises. The day of surgery 30 May Mr Sridhar came to see me and ran through some points in a calm professional manner with Dr Veda Ponnaiah The charming anaesthetist. Immediately after surgery Mr Sridhar phoned my partner in person to let her know he was pleased with the outcome and made a personal visit a few hrs later in the ward. He was very pleased with the way surgery went and that he had managed to save most of my nerves and was pretty confident he cleared all the cancer. The London hospital cared for me very well and all the nurses and staff were lovely. I was up taking steps 5 hrs after the operation. Surgery went so well that I left hospital after 2 nights and was allowed to pass urine normally without using my suprapubic catheter that I disconnected throughout the day but plugged it in at night only. I was home and walking 30 min stretches and felt comfortable on day 3 and It’s now been less than 2 weeks and I’m driving walking much longer distances and can return to work. I have Zero pain with Zero bladder leakage I can hold bladder for around 85% as long now as could before the operation and have been told this should improve in the next few months. I also have full erectile function. I am 59 years old and fairly fit. To be honest I was expecting much worse results post op but I am truly amazed how well I feel but remember you also need to put in some effort to increase recovery. A huge Thank you to Mr Ashwin Sridhar for his professional manner, clear guidance and communication, amazing surgical skill with experience and expertise. I also want to thank all his team that assisted him. I would recommend anyone who has prostate or bladder issues to contact Mr Sridhar as at least in my case I found him to be outstanding with unimaginable results. Thanks again. Alan Y.

Understanding, caring, and professional.

Mr Charlesworth is a wonderfully talented surgeon who is at the top of his professional career in urology. Nothing is too much trouble and his focus on patient wellbeing and excellent clinical outcomes is paramount. A very reassuring and caring doctor; as a patient you could not wish for more. Thank you for your skills and dedication.

Mr. Jonathan Noël is the best doctor ever! I have never met a doctor with so much medical knowledge & patient’s empathy in my life + together with Dr. Chan (with experience in open prostectomy surgery in Australia) they reassured me of the robotic prostectomy’s success, despite my previous surgery from a raptured appendix with possible complications from abdominal adhesions, that they’d make sure I was properly treated & my deepest thanks goes to both of them great caring doctors who chose to care for me as a human being & my concerns when they could have easily ignored me because I’m Black. He listened to me, he educated me & then he guided me to the best informed medical decision I have ever made, when I was medically so vulnerable & so afraid, since my father also died from the same condition. The whole medical team was first class, from pre-theatre admission to pre-discharge nursing. He literally took my hand, with so much love & so much compassion, and then he guided me over the finish line, when I was so desperate & at the lowest point in my life, having been a very professional architect for over 30 years who was always in charge & in full control of some of the the richest & most powerful people in the world BUT for once I felt overwhelmed & completely confused as a very accomplished Black Man in a predominately white UK. I believe he’d have done the same for anyone regardless of their social class or race because he cares about his patients regardless of their race or social status. My initial doctor made me feel dismissed & undervalued as a Black Man BUT Dr. Noel made me feel valued as a human being in the NHS. THANK YOU & THANK YOU SO MUCH! Singa
