Perth Urology Clinic

Dr Jeff Thaveseelan diagnosed me with stage 3 prostate cancer in Jan 2017 without me having any symptoms.nI decided to monitor the cancer until l it turned to stage 4 cancer 21 months later.nIt was decided to remove the prostate by having surgery which was successful.nThus far, 15 months after surgery, I'm back to normal and things are starting to look up.nDr Thaveseelan is a caring professional and took a genuine interest on the best possible treatment available. I have no hesitation in recommending his professional services.

My husband was referred to Perth Urology, he has advanced Parkinson's, Dr Trenton Barrett took us through step by step all the options for his problem and step by step we went through the medications until finally making a big decision in having a supra pubic catheter inserted. Its been nearly a year and the best option, we can't thank them enough for making life so much easier, we have no problems and the nurses change the catheter every 6 weeks. He is very active attending Pilates a few times a week and Art classes it has given him great confidence. Simple. easy and efficient, thank you team.

They conducted surgery on me that was mostly redundant. My kidney stone had broken down and passed but that wasn't discovered until going all the way in with a surgical examination. Perth Urology Clinic chose to work off of data that was 15 days old and perform a cystoscopy/ureteroscopy instead of getting a new X-ray on the table, scan (I've not had many in my life, not gonna be paranoid over radiation) or renal ultrasound, which would have shown the stone had passed. Time, money, and energy was wasted + I was given 12-24 hours of pointless pain when urinating due to the invasive op. It could have been avoided with fresher data or a more consistent path of communication with me throughout the whole thing.nnFor a private clinic they operate in a manner that is not satisfactory at all. The urologist handling my case for 4 weeks transitioned me onto an operation list with someone entirely new who I met for the first time in theatre and who did pretty much zero consult (despite 15 days having gone by since a chat with his colleague). The communication lost in this transition is where a big problem lies in their practice. I have now sourced a urologist who is fantastic up at Hollywood private in Nedlands. It's been horrible, but I'm pushing the reset button and finally learning more about uric acid issues. John Stanley at Hollywood spent over one hour with me debriefing what I'd been through and properly sharing expertise. Perth urology clinic gave me two meetings that were 5-10 minutes each (at the same cost as John). I've been absolutely taken aback at the difference in how the new urologist John assesses data (thoroughly, carefully, cautiously) and what I'd been through with Perth urology clinic.nnOverall, their clinic lacks integrity, initiative, foresight and mostly communication skills. Their aim was to do a bare minimum job and robotically bill healthcare. My sincere advice is to shop around if you have any inkling that someone at Perth Urology Clinic in Murdoch or one of there other locations is lacking in attention to detail with your condition. Do not give away your trust too easily when you actually don't have to.
