Reduction of enlarged prostate gland
At the initial consultation, Professor Chinegwundoh gave me a clear description of the TURP procedure with its risks and benefits. It was carried out by him and his team with no discomfort or pain to me and in subsequent discussions he gave me the reassurance I needed that the procedure had gone well and would be successful. Conveying that confidence was important to me. I am grateful for his clear expertise and his ability to listen and explain.

Read moreAn absolutely superb urologist, in fact the best medic I’ve ever come across: hugely experienced obviously; thoughtful, thorough and sensible advice; a truly wonderful manner, giving the impression he has as much time as I needed; and on two separate occasions, Prof Chinegwundoh went way above and beyond what could have reasonably been expected of him. Probably the easiest recommendation I’ve ever made.
