- I can’t express how grateful I am to Jacques Roux. He changed my life. Ten years of visits to my GP with no real progress and Jacques sorted everything in a few months. His knowledge, expertise, way of explaining things and dealing with people were beyond incredible. Thank youDoctor's response -Thank you for your kind remarks. I am grateful for being able to make such a difference in your quality of life.
- Mr Roux operated extremely successfully on my prostate to reduce its size, so I could pass urine much more easily. He explained everything clearly and carefully. Another distinguished urology surgeon recommended him to me as a "safe pair of hands", which apparently is high praiseDoctor's response -Thank you for your kind comments and allowing me to improve your symptoms.

He operated on me twice and on both occasions explained each procedure and answered my numerous questions and drew sketches of each procedure.Doctor's response -Thank you for the kind comments. It has been a pleasure to be involved with your care.
- The appointment arranged through Topdoctors did not take place. His secretary had no record of it and pointed out that Mr Roux does not hold appointments at Harpenden Spire on Tuesdays. I have re-arranged the appointment directly through his secretary.Doctor's response -Thank you for making me aware of this.
