About me
I am a Consultant urologist practicing at Spire Cardiff Hospital and Nuffield Health in Cardiff.
I investigate and treat patients with a wide variety of urological problems, such as the presence of blood in urine, urinary tract infections, urinary flow difficulties, urgency and frequency of urination. I perform surgical interventions for narrow foreskin, scrotal lumps, varicocele (enlargement of testicular veins) and various other conditions. My specialist interests are: enlarged prostate, erectile dysfunction, men's factor infertility, incontinence of urine in men and women.
I perform vasectomy for contraception and have a high volume practice in microsurgical vasectomy reversal.
Originally, I was born in Moldova. My urological specialty training was in the UK and USA. Those who know me would say that I am friendly and approachable. Coming to see a doctor can be a stressful experience so I always try to put my patients at ease. I talk without using medical jargon and after the consultations I write to my patients re-iterating what was discussed in a language understandable to everyone.
Areas of interest
Urinary symptoms in male and female patients (urgency, frequency, slow flow, infections, blood in urine); narrow foreskin, scrotal lumps; erectile dysfunction; urethral stricture disease; male infertility; vasectomy and microsurgical vasectomy reversal; urinary incontinence (male and female)
