In January 2015 I experienced a show of blood in my urine and sought the advice of my GP. This led to a referral, at my request, to Mr Michael Swinn, Consultant Urological Surgeon at East Surrey Hospital. A series of tests carried out or arranged by him detected high grade Bladder CIS which led to my inclusion in a programme of BCG chemo instillations at the hospital. The outcome was less than successful and raised the probability of a need for radical surgery- a process I was personally very anxious to avoid at any cost. Michael Swinn took my concerns fully on board and was successful in arranging my inclusion in an alternative therapy then being trialled by a colleague surgeon at St George’s Hospital Tooting (“Hyperthemic Mitomycin”). This proved highly effective in eliminating my CIS, and as once again recently proven by my most recent. Cystoscopy in October 2023. Your question “Did I get great care from Michael Swinn” must be clearly be answered with a resounding “YES”!

Mr Swinn puts you immediately at ease, explains thoroughly your condition and options. He gives you ample time to go through the whole process and is always available for any questions, either at the consultation or later.
I can’t imagine how his care/manner/helpfulness could be improved.

A very kind and considerate man. He is always willing to listen and help with whatever problem you are experiencing. You feel that you are safe in his hands.
Communicates well. Clearly explained the procedure and any risks. Had time to answer any questions. Was readily available for follow up post op. Would highly recommend him
