About Mr Andrew Chetwood
Personal Profile
Mr Chetwood consults on adult urological conditions and has a special interest in reconstructive urology.

In his spare time Andrew enjoys spending time with his wife and young family enjoying activities together including the Parkrun, swimming, golf and tennis.
