Reviews
Oliver – urology patient, Shepton Mallet
"Would highly recommend, opted to go for self pay urology treatment after really long waiting times at my local NHS hospital. Got my first consultation with the specialist within about 2 weeks and had surgery 1 week later. All the staff were extremely friendly, my consultant Chris Parker, was very friendly and knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly."
