First met this consultant in 2015 after a serious UTI. Whilst the NHS may have capacity limitations his attitude to a 53 year old and the extended need for a catheter were not in keeping with reasonable expectations. Ct and ultrasound scans took forever and after 7 weeks I gave up on him and the NHS and went private at Spire Edinburgh. Result. Within 1 week all scans completed, consultant review completed, clean bill of health and a nurse who taught me to self catheterise so that the permanent one could be removed. I have now been able to ditch the catheters all together. However due to the extended hospital catheterisation my bladder has become lazy. Not a good experience from John de Souza who at one point advised that I may need a permanent catheter for life. My advise.....make sure you clearly communicate what you want and get it!!

Dr De Souza gave my husband complete attention and gave him another 5 years of his life which I am very thankful for.

Mr. De Souza operated on me on the 15th. Feb. 2019, he carried out my procedure at Monklanks Hospital it turned out to be a 17 hour operation due to the cancer being more invasive than first thought. I can’t thank him and his team and the nurses and staff both in intensive care & ward 6 enough I am sure they have saved my life. I know I will have to undergo further treatment but I am positive it will be with the same high standard and care I have received to date.

Dr deSouza operated on me in April this year. He was amazing. Straight to the point, open and honest and I am so grateful and happy I had him to get me through it all. My life has changed for the better since the surgery thanks to him and the wonderful nurses at Monklands Hospital. Cannot praise them all enough!

What this man doesnt know about his profession isn't worth knowing. Straight to the point, no hidden agendas and a very good understanding of all his patients. I had bladder cancer and was operated on by De Souza Oct 2013. I still see him every year and he is always still very interested in my care. I owe my life now to this guy.....NHS please look after him and his very talented and compationate team. D. Burns
