Would highly recommend Dr. Barrass. Easy to talk to and explained everything very clearly. Went to see him with some genuine prostate concerns following an MRI Scan and left with a weight off my shoulders. Also a special mention to his PA Jennifer who went above and beyond to get me an earlier appointment and getting all the relevant information delivered to Dr. Barrass in time so that our appointment could be as productive as possible. 5 stars to both.

I visited Mr Barrass for kidney stones, bladder stones and thickening of the walls of my bladder. Mr Barrass explained what the next procedure was going to be and arranged blood and urine test plus having a contrast scan. I felt completely at ease with Mr Barrass which gave me complete trust in him for carrying out the proposed procedure which he felt necessary in my case.

What was most reassuring was that he listened to the issues I was experiencing. It can be difficult as a woman of a certain age to be listened to and to be heard. The various tests and procedures and results were explained. He suggested a supplement that I can take and it has made the world of difference.

Mr Barrass is an excellent and conscientious colleague who has the patient at the heart of his practice and I refer patients to him regularly to support best practice. On the NHS we share a common vision of service development with best practice and service delivery at the heart of improving the patient's journey and this has led us to develop many new features that have reduced waiting times and improved patient outcomes.
