Excellent care both from Mr Antoine Kass-Iliyya and the entire surgical team. I had total confidence in the conduct of the biopsy and (though it would be hard to describe a prostate biopsy as fun) I was treated with kindness and my dignity was maximised. Teamwork was exemplary.

I was sent to Scarborough Hospital after going to Bridlington after a phone consultation with 111. Bridlington Hospital did some tests before sending me to Scarborough Hospital. The Urology team at Scarborough Hospital, from the Doctor to the student nurse were outstanding. The time scales were very quick, and the treatment I received was second to none. Thank You.
