Mr Rowan Casey 2016-09-30 Person 5 5 0

When first referred to Mr Casey following a higher than expected PSA reading, I was of course anxious of what the prognosis might be. Within 30 seconds of my first meeting Mr Casey, he put me an ease and started to explain the whole process in detail that I would need to go through from the initial tests to what that could mean depending on what those tests might reveal and then future options of treatment if required. After my first set of tests came back and revealed that it was cancerous , Mr Casey again laid out in detail, but in a way that was easy to understand , the options and what I needed to consider and which I could discuss with my wife who also came with me to the appointments. His guidance on the different options in terms of what it could mean in the short and long term was extremely important in coming to the decision I made to have a radical prostatectomy. In every meeting we have had with Mr Casey he has proved a very good listener, giving both of us opportunities to ask questions and giving excellent feedback on our questions. When it came to what would happen during the surgery this was explained in a way that put us both at ease, especially when he was able to say that I should be up and about within a day (which I was).The surgery was a success and I have now had two follow up appointments to check the PSA level and how my general recovery is going and these, as always , have been very pleasant experiences. I highly recommend Mr Casey, he is an exemplary surgeon/consultant and feel lucky to have been treated by him
