why we’re different
From the moment you walk through the door to a warm and friendly welcome, you’ll notice we’re different.
At The Prostate Centre we all work as an integrated team – doctors, nurses, management and administrative staff – to make your visits as pleasant and efficient as we can. Our specialists combine their individual skills and expertise to help you discover what’s wrong; to help you decide on the best way forward, to help you undergo treatment with the minimum of discomfort and disruption to your life; and to deal with any problems along the way. We are also focused on inspiring the lifestyle changes that will help to keep you healthy in the future.
It’s nothing like the traditional model of private healthcare, where you’d expect to be looked after by just one consultant – and it’s a world away from the NHS. With us, you’ll become a Prostate Centre patient, and be part of the team yourself. Our philosophy is truly “holistic”: no matter who you’re referred to initially, you’ll have access to a range of specialists, each with their own area of expertise.
We’ll work with you every step of the way, making sure you feel completely informed, involved and in control. And we’ll expect to see you back – for follow-up; for assistance with future health issues; and maybe even for social events related to the charities we help such as Prostate UK and the British Urological Foundation (BUF).
Safety is our top priority. For this reason we think it’s vital to look at your general health as well as your prostate – especially if you’re scheduled for surgery. For example, we may ask you to lose weight (and help you achieve it). We’ll want to identify any other health risks you may have and may suggest cardiac screening. This means added protection for you and less stress for us in the operating theatre! “Prevention is better than cure” is central to our philosophy.
Please use this website to explore any ways in which we can help you. Do give us a call on
020 7935 9720 if you’d like to make an appointment; we’ll be happy to discuss which of the team is most appropriate for you to see first and which tests and examinations you are likely to need.
