About me

In partnership with specialist colleagues in South Coast Urology, I offer a high quality service tailored to individuals requirements. I cover all aspects of general urology, but have a particular interest in bladder and prostate disorders, with treatments such as TURP (prostate resection), Urolift (prostate lifting device), HoLEP (laser prostate surgery), PAE (prostate artery embolisation) and medical options. All diagnostic tests are provided with help from friendly and professional nursing staff, including fibre optic camera examinations and urodynamics (a specialised test to understand the urinary tract function).
