PROFESSOR ALAN McNEILL

Western General Hospital in Edinburgh

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT HIM:

‘A very skilful and experienced surgeon, he’s also very calm and empathetic,’ according to one of his peers.

‘He thinks carefully about what he is doing and is a caring, conscientious surgeon who monitors what he does and examines his own data. This analysis of your own results is the only way of pinpointing where you are doing fine and where you might stand to improve, which is one of the hallmarks of a very good urologist.’ ‘He recently switched from keyhole prostatectomy to robotics and he’s extremely good at it,’ comments another of his peers. PRIVATE PRACTICE: Spire Murrayfield Hospital, The Edinburgh Clinic.
