Mr Nigel Parr

"I have worked at Spire Murrayfield Hospital for over 23 years and throughout that period have always received very good feedback from patients regarding their care at our hospital."

I was the first Urologist to be appointed to Wirral University Teaching Hospital's NHS Foundation, over 23 years ago. I have wide reaching experience across the field of urology, but nowadays my particular interests relate to prostate, bladder and penile cancer, urinary tract infections and inflammation, infertility and urinary tract stones.
