Very helpful. Put my mind at rest and made an embarrassing situation for me a positive experience. Also mentioned a shy bladder, a term I had never heard before, which will also help me in the future.

Right from the first meeting, Mr Acher has given his very qualified advice, on the best way to treat my problem. He has been very informative and took notice of any concerns I may have had with detailed explanations on the forthcoming procedure. He made me feel relaxed and helped me to understand all about the way things were going to progress, which gave me great confidence in his abilities and the final outcome of the operation. I was apprehensive but looking forward to be on the road back to a more normal life. Overall I am very happy with the dealings I have had with Mr Acher and I am well on the road to recovery.
