Mr Michael Swinn

Written by a patient at East Surrey Hospital

I was referred to Mr Michael Swinn at East Surrey Hospital for a prostate opinion by my GP practice when my PSA levels began to rise at a rate not compatible with normality. I found him and his team welcoming, professional, keen to listen and to discuss my case in an interactive fashion. His explanations were extremely clear and any questions were answered in full with no feeling of being rushed. Subsequent decision to carry out MRI and template needle biopsy (the last at the excellent Crawley Day centre) proved worthwhile as they confirmed early stage prostatic cancer. In a further meeting with Mr Swinn, the clinical data and my several treatment options along with their possible complications were clearly explained. The team's approach allowed me to make informed decisions as to the best possible treatment, which for me turned out to be brachytherapy (to be later carried out at Royal Surrey County Hospital). I have every confidence that this Doctor/team and his close associates Dr J Money-Kyrle and Prof. S Langley have a winning partnership in providing the greatest care and best possible treatment options for those suffering prostatic cancer.
