I am 57 years old and having been seeing Dr Kua for 3 years to monitor very high PSA levels. He recently recommended TURP surgery to rectify issues related to the prostate, seven weeks after the surgery any issues I had seem to be cleared up.
I can highly recommend Dr Kua and his staff for their care, knowledge and professionalism.

I was recommended to see Dr Kua by my own GP who had also recently had prostate cancer. My GP reckons there is no better surgeon in Australia than Dr Kua - certainly in the field of robotic prostatectomy. That is a big call I appreciate but my experience confirmed my GP’s view. I had a great outcome in terms of loss of blood during surgery, time taken for the procedure, achieving clear margins and recovery including being continent from day one after removal of catheter.
Dr Kua’s staff were always helpful and courteous as well.
I cannot speak more highly of Dr Kua and his team.

I have been seeing Dr Kua for 3 years, after he diagnosed my kidney cancer and gave me a partial nephrectomy. During the entire process and time he has been professional, kind, concerned and always happy to provide information. I rate him as the best surgeon and specialist I've ever had the pleasure to deal with. Not only are hid hands very expert and safe to be in, but so are the hands of his robotic friend, who did a great job on my operation and minimal wounds. So, Dr Kua is as highly recommended as possible.

On February 2023, I had the pleasure of seeing Dr Kua (UroBriz) for an enlarged prostate and TURP surgery during a critical moment. After more than a month with a catheter (five different catheters), visiting several specialists at two different urological clinics in Brisbane, and experiencing various complications, I finally arrived at Wesley Hospital and made contact with Dr Kua.
I must say that Dr Kua and his staff are simply the best. From the moment I called the office to book an appointment, his staff were concerned about my entire medical history, and as a result, they advanced my consultation time. When I went to his office, the team's treatment and concern gave me the tranquillity I needed, at a time when I had been unable to find a solution for a month.
Before the surgery, Dr Kua thoroughly explained the procedure and answered all of my questions, ensuring that I was comfortable with the process. During the surgery itself, he was incredibly skilled and efficient. Because my surgery used spinal anaesthesia, I was able to observe the entire procedure, which was impeccable, resulting in a speedy recovery and minimal scarring. The surgery exceeded my initial expectations, and his professionalism left me feeling confident at all times. This includes his medical team and anaesthetist, who called me a few times before the procedure.
I can confidently say that it was the best surgical experience I have ever had. Dr Kua and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs from beginning to end. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr Kua to anyone looking for TURP surgery or any other urology procedure. He is extremely professional, experienced, and, most importantly, genuinely cares about his patients.
Thank you, Dr Kua.

From the moment I was referred by my GP to Dr Boon Kua I felt I was in the very best of hands. The nature and severity of my condition was quickly established, and the subsequent robotic surgery occurred expeditiously. My rehabilitation was completed in less than the 3 months originally suggested enabling me to return quickly to my normal lifestyle and its related activities, most of which are physical. Perhaps the most pleasing aspect of my experience has been the lack of side effects or complications. Eight months on from my prostatectomy my life is completely back to what it was previously, and for that I am extremely grateful to Dr Kua. My level of satisfaction is borne out by the fact that I wrote to the CEO of the Wesley Hospital expressing my appreciation for the professionalism displayed by everyone involved in my treatment with particular mention of Dr Kua.

It has now been five months since Dr. Boon Kua performed my robotic assisted radical prostatectomy for which I am most appreciative. He inspired confidence from the initial consultation with straight talking based on the most up to date national and international evidence to which he no doubt contributes. Results and the pros and cons of all treatment options were discussed, and I was able to make a considered and evidence-based decision with no regrets. Potential surgical complications, which can happen with any surgeon, were frankly explained. Dr. Kua was recommended by several doctors, and it would be very difficult to find a more experienced urological surgeon, anywhere, with comparable outcomes. The surgery I had was major and without complication. Dr Kua has a great team of professionals working with him. In his rooms, Angie and Brittney couldn’t have been more helpful and understanding. His referrals to I-Med Radiology and Aquesta Pathology Specialists ensured there were no diagnostic doubts. The anaesthetists he works with inspired confidence and the Wesley Hospital theatre and ward staff were terrific and the Prostate Nurse, Rachael, provided a wealth of information. All up, a streamlined journey at a difficult time. I am most appreciative of Dr. Kua and his team’s care and can’t thank them enough. He is a modest man with remarkable surgical skills who will always do his best for every patient.

When I appeared at his surgery with suspiciously high levels of PSA, Dr Boon Kua was thorough and fast to act. A radical prostatectemy done via robotic keyhole surgery removed the cancerous portions of the prostate and spared the relevant neural connections.
Following this procedure, recovery was quick and complete. One year now after the procedure, all is well, and I continue to enjoy good health.
Beyond that, Boon is courteous, friendly, and interested in the patient's situation. He glows with a combination of intelligence and good humour. I would hope that along with his professional surgical mastery and excellent attention to detail, he retains his youthful spirit for many a year.

Dr Kua is an immensely capable surgeon and my husband and I appreciate his direct, straightforward approach and good sense of humour. We were kept well-informed, both before and after the procedure. We have felt completely at ease with Dr Kua's down-to-earth manner, as he is attentive and sincere. We also appreciate the friendly and helpful attitude of the reception staff.

I had my initial appointment with Dr Boon Kua about thirteen years ago in relation to various symptoms I was experiencing. Symptoms included frequency in urinating, a weak and slow urination flow, and waking up several times a night to urinate. During the initial appointment I was advised by Dr Kua I would likely require a procedure called a cystoscopy to properly diagnose my problem. The thought of what was involved in a procedure of this nature made me very nervous. After the appointment I decided to get on with life and live with the symptoms.
Over the next eleven years the severity of the symptoms became increasingly worse. They were affecting my life more than ever. I required regular bathroom visits everywhere and it was becoming quite stressful.
In 2021 as a 40 year old I returned to Dr Kua. On arrival because it had been so long, I completed a patient information form again and a questionnaire on symptoms which were categorised from mild to severe. I was severe for every symptom category. During my appointment Dr Kua appeared very concerned with my situation and the fact I had let this go for so long. He ordered an urgent CT scan, which led to a cystoscopy procedure the following week at Wesley Hospital. Dr Kua re-arranged his schedule to fit me in for the procedure. Having never had surgery before I was very nervous. After the cystoscopy, Dr Kua informed me that I had a condition called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). I was informed this condition was curable by having a surgical procedure called a Laser Bladder Neck Incision (Transurethral Incision of Prostate (TUIP). Dr Kua prescribed me medication to ease the symptoms while I waited twelve months for my private hospital cover to kick in.
In January 2023 I finally underwent surgery (Laser Bladder Neck Incision) at the Wesley Hospital. This required one night in hospital post-surgery. The surgery has been absolutely life changing! I am sleeping better and my days no longer revolve around frequent bathroom visits. I have my life back! In relation to the surgery to get here, it is nothing to be concerned about, and I regret not having it years ago.
I cannot recommend Dr Boon Kua highly enough! I found him to be reassuring through the whole process with a genuine concern for my situation. I also found him to be direct and gives you straight answers when you need them.
If you are suffering like I was, get it fixed!

Dr Boon Kua is very thorough and in my diagnosis and subsequent robotic surgery for cancerous prostate. I found him a very open communicator and understood my anxiety of post surgery leakage which he professionally addressed and he has a complete suite of techniques and skills to remedy any patients concerns. I only had to have pads for about a month and now free of pads and no PSA detected. An excellent specialist Urologist.

Dr Boon Kua is the most caring and skillful surgeon.
He explained carefully and clearly what needed to be done and what I could expect.
He was quick to book me in for my Biopsy and then surgery to remove my Prostate that had a nasty cancer hiding inside.
I got a result that you could only wish for...
The people that he surrounds himself with are first rate, from his receptionist to the Anesthetist. A special thanks to them...
The prostate nurse Rachele and the team were very helpful and very reassuring. The video she made was very good and the information was really helpful.
Now I can move on with life.
YOU SAVED MY LIFE
Thank you So Much

Dr Boon Kua and his team offer a very professional service: from receptionists through to the specialist nurses. Dr Kua is very helpful, thoughtful, and explains everything well… helping to manage expectations at all times. The surgery and post-op support could not have been better. I also highly recommend doing Kegel exercises everyday for 1 month prior to surgery as this greatly assists with getting control of your bladder back. Michelle Kenway, an Australian Physiotherapist has excellent utube videos explaining Kegels.

It is almost seven months since I had my prostate removed following a diagnosis of aggressive cancer by Dr Kua.
The operation went smoothly as did the recovery apart from the discomfort of wearing a catheter for a few days.
I experienced some incontinence during the first two months and wore pads as a safeguard, but am now completely dry.
I have emerged today from a second post-op appointment with Dr Kua who advised my PSA is excellent and he will check me in another six months.
I can't fault the way my case has been handled and Dr Kua is not only a highly skilled urologist but a very personable man who takes a special interest in his patients.

I was first recommended this business by a previous patient of this practice. The way all of my appointments and procedures were already arranged when I arrived in Brisbane from Mackay was a significant advantage. I found Dr Boon Kua easy to talk to and he answered any concerns I had. The postoperative care was most beneficial and any concerns I had were addressed. Dr Boon Kua’s office staff were exceptional.
