Gary Ransome shares how medication prescribed by Consultant Urological Surgeon, Mr Steve Garnett, has allowed Gary to live his life free of urology symptoms.
“My name is Gary and I live in East Sussex. I came to Benenden Hospital in January 2022 for treatment of a prostate complaint. I was experiencing urology problems and symptoms such as urinating frequently and I suffered with pain on my pelvic bone.
“My symptoms were affecting my quality of life so I went straight to my GP and she referred me to Benenden Hospital for further support.
Why Benenden Hospital?
“I think patients choose Benenden Hospital for its professionalism, care, hygiene and it is very central to where I live. The environment at Benenden Hospital is first-class, absolutely superb and it’s a brand new building, which is very modern. I thought I was in a hotel it looked so lovely!
“If I could describe the hospital staff in three words they would be: informative, caring and enthusiastic – I know it sounds strange but their passion for what they do made me feel relaxed.”
