Perth Urology Clinic

Went above and beyond to resolve a painful issue arising from Rezum treatment. Dr Manny Saluja is an outstanding doctor and a very nice fellow. The entire practice staff do their utmost to ensure a high standard of patient care. Their nurse Sam is outstanding as is their scheduling whizz Beth. Would give them six stars if i could.

Dr Manny Saluja dealt with my Urothelial Cancer – Being diagnosed with Urothelial cancer was worrying and stressful, Dr Manny Saluja was very kind and reassuring throughout my surgery and follow up. He and Dr Matthew Brown performed robotic surgery and I am very grateful for their knowledge and expertise. I can highly recommend these Doctors and Perth Urology. Thank you!

Great work by Dr Sarah O’Neill re kidney tumour – Had the good fortune to be treated in mid- November by Dr Sarah O’Neill and her great team for a tumour on my kidney. Surgery followed quickly but she managed to make a stressful time a lot more manageable with a very happy result. Thank you.

Not feeling satisfied – This is the most expensive referral from doctor picardo $275 for CT scan blood check. Is this right?

One good, 2 very bad – Have had multiple dealings with Kidney Stones etc Dr Thavaseelan is awesome, knowledgeable and fixed the c#ck up by the unempathetic Dr Hamid who seemed to take some sick sort of pleasure in the level of pain I had post op. Almost sadistic. Later follow up with Dr Picardo after a lengthy wait, was a waste of time. Barely looked at the issue,… Read more

didn't offer any solution besides consult a dermatologist, seemed more interested in sending me on my way issue unresolved, $280 thanks for coming.

Successful bladder cancer treatment – I have always been treated in a caring and professional manner by the various members of this group practice. My diagnosis with two concurrent forms of aggressive bladder cancer was a worry, but after several relatively uninvasive treatments over the past seven months I am now in remission. I would strongly recommend Perth Urology after my experience with them.

My doctor was fantastic – Not being able to urinate is one of the most painfulll things you can have> The doctor fixed me up almost immediately with a quick diagnosis and surgery and now I can urinate like an 18 year old.

The Doctor was brilliant – had been to a few doc with my prostrate problem and was not satisfied. i should have gone to a specialist in the first place.

I am convinveced I never had Prostate cancer – I was never convinced that I had prostate cancer and this has changed my life enormously, as with most surgeons all they want to do is cut you so they make money, this was never properley and fees were never mentioned and I was left with an $8000 bill although having private health insurance '

Cancelled my surgery for no reason by practice management never returned calls – Would like my surgery resolved medical certificates for time off work without any pay at all practice management apology letter

Dr trent battet and dr manny saluja – I went for testical pain and some worries i had. Really amazed by how good and kind the services are they both helped me to know that there was nothing wrong with my testicals and that it was a nerve problem which dose not cuse any problems to the testicals feel really relived as i was worried that somthing was wrong turns out i just have to see… Read more

Also got my 2nd appointment free due to being on centerlink payments very helpful and truly experianced especially dr trent barret as he specialises in testical issues and preforms surgerys on testicals so he is very much experianced. was reasured that my testicals where healthy and normal the only problem is nerve issues casing them to be sensetive. Very happy with thier services

Dr Trenton Barrett – I was referred to Trenton Barrett by my amazing gynaecologist after developing a vesicovaginal fistula post abdominal hysterectomy. He said he was referring me to the best urologist and he was spot on. My first consultation with Trent and I left feeling reassured and confident that I couldn't be in better hands. He was thoughtful, thorough in… Read more

explaining things and extremely patient when I was stressed. Followed up regularly even though he has an extremely busy schedule and many patients to tend to. Way above and beyond what most doctors would do considering his position. Joni, the nurse, was unbelievably supportive and I couldn't have asked for a better team including the staff and my anaesthetist, Vicki. The procedure was a huge success and I would highly recommend Perth Urology Clinic especially Dr Trenton Barrett :)

Dr Trenton Barrett – I just want to Thank Dr Barrett for helping me , I had a lot of problems going to the toilet with my Enlarged Postrate, and Dr Barrett was my Saviour. He is a Gentleman and very Polite and very Caring. I had this Proceedure quite a few Years back and very happy with the Operation . I Recommend Dr Barrett to anyone that needs a Urologist.

Professional – Dr Shane LaBianca is a godsend. So patient with our family, explained things carefully and really made sure we understood everything and went in eyes wide open. Thank you to you and the team!

Totally Professional – My original appointment was with Dr. Shane LaBianca at PUC Wexford. The explanation of the prostate problem was well understood by myself and my wife. I had the MRI and biopsy and discussed the results with Dr Matt Brown. He suggested that a PET scan would pinpoint any further problems that may be present. The results of the scans and tests… Read more

were discussed by the PUC team and I was then put under the care of Dr. Andrew Tan at Hollywood Medical Centre. Dr. Tan discussed the results and suggested that the prostate removal was the best option. The procedure occurred on the 12th April 2019 by Robotic Surgery and to date I am 90% recovered and regained bladder control. I cannot find enough words to praise the professional and dedicated service offered by the PUC team at Wexford and Hollywood Medical Centres. The pre op and post op support has been greatly appreciated. My heartfelt gratitude to Drs. LaBianca, Tan and Brown. You are a professional team and proud to have been a patient at PUC.

Dr Trenton Barrett – Thank you Dr Barrett for your courtesy, thoughtfulness and skill (as well as a most impressive CV). I would certainly suggest to any woman who needed a urologist she should seek your help.

Rude and unhelpful - – I found [name removed] to be very rude and unhelpful. Basically said he had no idea what the issue was, leaned back in his chair, shrugged his and said its not really my problem better to find someone else and go back to your GP. Condescending and no empathy. Body language suggested he didn't care about my issue at all. Was not thorough at all either. Look elsewhere.

Great care – My husband has been in the care of both Dr Thavaseelan and LaBianca. To begin with he was very reluctant to seek urology help but found both these doctors very easy to communicate with and professional. A big thank you to the admin staff who also played a part of getting him seen. The admin staff are also very patient when trying to make… Read more

appointments for someone that is a FIFO worker.

The journey for my husband and I has been smooth

Thank you

Dr trenton Barrett – So happy to be off antibiotics after ten years just like to say how helpful Dr Trenton Barrett is and his team is he makes me feel so compatible thankyou best I've felt in a very long time

Excellent Service and Care – My husband has been treated by Dr Thavaseelan and Dr La Bianca for the past 7 years for prostate cancer. During what has been an extremely stressful journey, we have always found both Dr La Bianca and Dr Thavaseelan to be excellent surgeons who always take the time to explain what is happening and ensure that we know and understand where we are… Read more

headed and what the next step is. Their professionalism, care and concern for my husband is exemplary. We really could not ask for better treatment and cannot recommend them highly enough. In fact we have never had any difficulties with any of the staff, administrative or nursing. They always welcome us with a smile and are more than accomodating at all times. My husband and I feel very fortune that we have the right people with us to help us along this journey.

Above and beyond service – I've been taking my grandfather to Perth Urology Clinic since it opened. He is 98 years old and suffers from recurring infections and complications with his suprapubic catheter, and he often requires emergency assessment and care. When he has one of these emergencies, they have always made room to see him on the same day we call. Dr Jeff… Read more

Thavaseelan, the practise nurse and the rest of the team have always shown the upmost care and concern, and take the time and effort to communicate with my grandfather and myself, making sure that we fully understand the problem and treatment (if needed). I'd like to offer my sincere thanks to Dr Thavaseelan and his colleagues and would absolutely recommend their services.

Triple check your quote - deceptive administration staff – My husband underwent surgery through the Perth Urology Clinic. The surgery itself was a success, however the grief we endured due to the administration staff providing us with false information was horrendous. Prior to the surgery, I confirmed with the clinic that they would invoice our health insurer through Gap Cover. I documented this on the… Read more

quote which we then sent back to the clinic. After the surgery, we were charged an extra $430 on top of what we should have been. I spend hours going between the clinic and our health insurer to determine what happened, and received different responses every time I spoke to the clinic. Eventually, I was told by one staff member at the clinic that she recalled speaking to me before the surgery, and had advised they didn't do GapCover. I insisted I also remembered the conversation, and my recollection was the opposite, and that I had documented it on our signed quote. I pointed out if there had been an issue it should have been addressed at the time, prior to the surgery, as otherwise, we had gone into the surgery with false information about the cost. I'd strongly suggest you triple check anything they say, and document everything.

Extremely professional and fantastic to deal with – I've suffered from kidney stones for a number of years and have been unfortunate enough to be hospitalised on every occasion a stone has decided to move. On one occasion a number of years ago my regular urologist was unavailable, subsequently, I was seen at very short notice by Doctor Matthew Brown from the Perth Urology Clinic. Since that initial… Read more

meeting and after a number of consultations and successful procedures I couldn't speak more highly of the service that Doctor Brown has provided me. He has always displayed a high degree of professionalism, compassion and understating of my situation and I find he always goes that one step further to ensure my ongoing health and well being.

Interestingly enough I had a very recent kidney stone attack and Doctor Brown wasn't available. A major issue for me was that I was flying to Europe in the near future so the time frame to address my issue was very limited. Upon contacting the Perth Urology Clinic Doctor Trenton Barrett (A work colleague of Browns) was good enough to see me at the last minute. Similar to Doctor Brown, Doctor Barrett went above and beyond to get me into a position to travel safely, from organising CT scans to procedure times (if required) fortunately, I was able to pass the stone and a procedure wasn't required and the all clear was given to go and enjoy my holiday.

After dealing with both doctors from the same clinic I would have no hesitation in highly recommending their services.

Never been so relieved !!! – I visited the emergency department of St John of God Murdoch hospital on Sunday afternoon 9th July at around 3.00pm on the advice of Dr Trenton Barrett of Perth Urology Clinic, who had briefed the ED to expect me. I was unable to pass urine, my stomach was very swollen and distended, I was in extreme pain and was unable to sit down. Within 10… Read more

minutes of presenting myself at the ED I had been seen by triage and admitted, had a bladder scan and a catheter inserted enabling me to my great relief to pass urine for the first time in several hours.

2.75lts we're drained off within 30 minutes followed by a further 750ml.

I would like to give my sincere thanks to the wonderful urology team who attended to me for their swift assessment and treatment, special thanks to to Dr Trenton Barrett and his associates for their fabulous care and attention in preventing what could have been a very serious situation.

highly successful medical procedure – I recently experienced the failure of an artificial urinary sphincter (AMS 800) which had been surgically implanted in 2001 in the Public health system here in Perth. This failed device was the fourth unit that l have had surgically implanted in my 34 years in a wheelchair. I suffer from a spinal injury which occurred from a aviation accident… Read more

(1982) when l was twenty six years old. I have a medical classification of T12/L1 paraplegia. This silicone pressure device (AMS 800) has given me a quality of life through urinary continence and the social confidence & freedom, that is hard to quantify in words. My current device (5th) was surgically implanted by Perth Urology Clinic's urological surgeon Dr T Barrett. Pre-surgery advice from this doctor and clinic staff was accurate and guiding. This surgical procedure held some potential high risks, not only my age but also the complexities of replacing a foreign device in a part of my body that has had four previous devices implanted there, so previous internal adhesions and scarring, damaged tissue and the surgical difficulty of removal of the old one and the replacement positioning for the three arms of this artificial sphincter device. The pre-surgery advice from this doctor was extremely valuable to the positive outcome that has been my experience with this implant. Thorough and comprehensive planned pre-surgical urological examinations took place. Communication from the doctor and his team pre and post surgery was informative and inclusive. Many of these surgeons also work in the public medical system, as in my case this procedure was conducted at the Fiona Stanley hospital under the public health umbrella. With confidence l recommend this urological surgeon and his team for their professionalism and the quality of care l received prior, during and after my operation.

Excellent Treatment – I was referred to Perth Urology Clinic and had the good fortune of having Dr Trent Barrett treat me. From my first consultation with doctor Barrett through to my procedures, I found him to be polite, caring, thorough and informative. Before being treated by Dr Barrett, I was in constant pain and my quality of life was suffering since my… Read more

procedure I am back to living a normal healthy life.

After my procedures and i had been discharged from hospital, I received a phone call in the evening from Dr Barrett to check up and see how i was feeling and once again remind me if had any concerns at to call him immediately.

I have no hesitation in recommending Perth Urology Clinic.

Performed an unnecessary surgery on me – 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… Read more

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.

For 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. [name removed] 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 [name removed]). I've been absolutely taken aback at the difference in how the new urologist [name removed] assesses data (thoroughly, carefully, cautiously) and what I'd been through with Perth urology clinic.

Overall, 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.
