“Having been diagnosed aged 52 with early, but aggressive bladder cancer, I felt disconcerted by my local hospital’s approach. In contrast, from the moment I met John Kelly, I was treated as an individual. I was actively involved in decision making and where my treatment was based specifically on what was best for me. This included fully robotic, laparoscopic surgery, which I would recover from much faster than it would have been from conventional surgery.

I have been left with virtually none of the after-effects that many people find so challenging. I cannot praise highly enough the care I have received from Professor Kelly and his team. I had, and still have the utmost confidence in every aspect of my treatment”

“Prof Kelly made everything so much easier to cope with. He always made time to talk to me. Scans were arranged quickly and I never had to wait long for results.

​

Having surgery by robot was fantastic and less debilitating than open surgery would have been. My scars are tiny and barely show! I cannot fault the care I received!”

“Leadership of a great team by a clearly very skilled, but caring surgeon is how I will always remember Prof Kelly. Chemo followed by a robotic neo-bladder operation was always going to be daunting, but much less so as John and his colleagues were at pains to let my wife and I know they were available to listen and help 24/7.

​

John’s regular phone calls to my wife during the sometimes challenging post-operative period were hugely important to her and my present good health owes much to his continuing attention over the last two years. He is just a great guy I would recommend to anyone!”

“I was referred to Professor Kelly having failed to respond to previous surgery for bladder cancer. He advised radical surgery, fully explaining what was involved and giving me plenty of opportunity to ask questions. The surgery was scheduled promptly and everyone involved was professional, thorough, friendly and helpful.

​

My operation was performed robotically, which caused minimal scarring and less general trauma. I received excellent care in hospital and lots of encouragement from Prof Kelly. Now, six months later, I am well with a clear scan. I regularly swim and walk long distances and the urostomy is just not a problem. I am very grateful to Prof Kelly and his team for this outcome, from what had been a very difficult and extremely worrying situation.”

“A robotic cystectomy is not something anyone would look forward to. However, Professor Kelly made the entire process much more bearable with his reasoned and unhurried pre-operation consultations. Every question was answered in depth, and his undoubted skills in performing the procedure itself.  His post operation care was equally professional - I greatly appreciate his work.”

“I was referred to Prof Kelly after significant alternative treatments had failed and a radical cystectomy was my only option. My own research concluded the choice of a robotic procedure was a definite choice for me. Prof Kelly came very highly recommended by my consultant and had a proven expertise with this procedure for bladder cancer.

​

My care at the Princess Grace hospital in London was excellent and I was reassured all the time. My scaring is barely noticeable now some two years on and I have had minimal nerve damage. Quite simply I owe him my life. Thank you.”

“Enough cannot not be said about Professor Kelly and what he has done for my father in law. His kindness, attentiveness and care has meant the world to my family. The fact that my father in law travelled to London from his home in Malta did not present any difficulties for Professor Kelly. He always took time to explain everything in detail and was always available to answer questions… it was like making a new friend. 

​

Professor Kelly is extremely professional, caring and knowledgeable. I trust him completely!”
