I cannot thank "the Prof" enough. The TURP Op he carried out was above and beyond all my expectations. His quiet calmness and advice, delivered with great charm and humour, and alongside Allan the nurse, who was also brilliant, was 5-star. Very happy! Thanks Prof and Team!

Professor Dasgupta performed my Robot Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP). I like his clear explanations, which he delivers from the patient’s perspective. His skill as a surgeon is clear; I was back playing sport exactly 100 days after the operation. His PM Katie is great too!
