Frequently asked questions
Why did you decide to become a Consultant Urologist ?
Urology offered, and still offers, a combination of office-based work, where many patients can be seen, investigated and treated in the office, alongside operative work, both elective and emergency surgery, which can improve the quality of life for our patients and, in some cases, the quantity of life as well.
What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?
My patients tend to present largely with voiding symptoms, whether obstructive or irritative lower urinary tract symptoms, a reduction in flow, or increased urinary frequency. One of the most common symptoms I see is blood in the urine. I also see patients with pain, whether inguinal, scrotal or pelvic pain, and patients with symptoms of infection. I see many patients with no symptoms at all who are simply concerned about their urological well-being and health.
What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?
I offer the full range of urological investigations, from simple urine and blood tests through to full imaging, including X-ray, CT, ultrasound and multiparametric MRI scanning, with a 3 Tesla MRI scanner here at the Chelsea Outpatient Centre, where my practice is based. I operate, and will shortly operate, at The Lister Hospital, moving my operative practice from the Princess Grace. The Lister Hospital has a comprehensive set of urological facilities that allow us to carry out the full range of services.
What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?
I am first and foremost a general urologist, looking after patients with a wide range of urological symptoms. My main area of specialist interest is the surgical management of skin conditions of the penis and penile dermatology. I also cover a wide spectrum of conditions, including hydroceles, epididymal cysts and varicoceles.
