Mr John Beatty 2015-10-20 Person 5 5 0

I was referred to Mr Beatty for radical prostatectomy after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. I had already discovered that this doctor had a reputation of being a very good surgeon, and a really nice bloke. Well, I was given the choice of conventional or DaVinci robot assisted keyhole surgery, and opted for the latter. I can only say, that no one could have put me more at ease, and made me feel more confident about the outcomes than this expert in his field. The operation went well, and post surgery, my recovery has gone well, with minimal side effects. It is surgeons like Mr Beatty, assisted by state of the art equipment like the DaVinci robot that make the NHS great. Most notable were the little things, like Mr Beatty calling my wife to say how the op had gone, and seeing him on the ward rounds, and at future outpatients appointments, and not an understudy. Couldn't have got more personal and expert service if I'd gone private.
