I had a lot of difficulty passing water and would need to pee regularly throughout the day and night. I now readily empty my bladder and do not have visit the toilet before I start a journey or as soon as I arrive at my destination. I longer have to get up 3 -4 times a night.
Went to see Dr Ballaro today he was very professional and kind sent me for a scan straight away which didn't take long at all. Came back and was seen immediately with positive results. Then gave me advice on how to prevent further problems.
I found Mr Ballaro to be very caring and he listens to you which puts you at ease - he talks to you not at you.
My surgery went well and I have had a very good outcome. I would recommend him to friends and family if they needed a urologist.
Mr Ballaro was the first doctor to diagnose my UPJ obstruction. He could tell I was nervous getting the results of a CT scan and explained them to me patiently. He also suggested follow up tests and the process from diagnosis to treatment if I elected to have it. He has gone above and beyond to help me, researching surgeons for me and giving me advice. I ask a lot of questions but he has never made me feel annoying. He’s just a very patient, trustworthy and kind man and an incredibly safe pair of hands as a doctor.
Great Doctor, very professional and knowledgeable. Recommended.
