After surgery to remove a benign brain tumour, I was left with facial palsy on the left side of the face. I was referred to Ms Tzafetta and after a consultation, in December 2019 I had surgery with Ms Tzafetta to rectify this. Muscle and nerves from my left thigh were inserted into my face. At all times I was told what would happen during and after surgery. I was checked regularly and in March 2015 I was discharged from the clinic. Ms Tzafetta was very pleased with the results, as am I. The new muscle in the face is now beginning to work and the face is symmetrical which it wasn’t before. I am it will continue to improve and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome. Ms Zafetta and her team are caring and considerate, they listened to all my concerns and really are experts in their field. I would not hesitate to recommend.

I had a face and neck lift, previously Tzefetta had done my eyes. she is an excellent surgeon. I had complete trust in her and am delighted with the work that she has done. I am 73 years old and hated my lined face. As a woman she understood my desire to still look like me. The attention that she gave me was very considerate and understanding. She is an expert in her field so don't worry going ahead with the work that you want to have done. TIP if you colour your hair do it before the surgery. I waited for two months after the operation to colour my hair, used my usual colour of dark blonde and went auburn I have since learnt that hair is affected by the anaesthesia. check it out. Good luck and go for it!!

Ms Tzafetta has given the most amazing treatment for my facial cancer and in particular the reconstruction work that she has done has meant that I can continue with my life with confidence. She is caring, professional, empathetic and I believe what she has done for me is astonishing to say the least. After a number of operations and tweaks I look almost normal again which has done my confidence a power of good. I have had some very dark moments during the past year of treatment and she has been a tower of strength and optimism.

I was recommended by my GP to have a facial tumour removered in Broomfield in 2007 I loved the way staff are there so helpful,friendly When my tumour resurfaced 10 years later i asked to go back to Broomfield for my treatment It was devastating to hear my old consultant Had left but pauline was great at reassuring me on the phone that it was going to me fine , how right she was I met Dr Tzafatta in September of 2017, only to find my few tumours that I thought I had , had multiplied To 10 and was deep within my facial muscles , I was under the knife in a couple of weeks ,November I had my second op to remove the rest of them i loved that Dr tzafatta explained everything that was happening & what she was going to do for me She made it sound so easy & put me straight at ease as if I had nothing to worry about so friendly and is genuinely interested on how you are & if you have any concerns, Dr tzafatta shows so much respect to her patiences and team , St. Andrews in Broomfield is the only hospital I know that still have a lot of the Same staff & are so friendly always smiling as they say After all it’s team work DR Tazafetta argree she will do the hard bit & her team will explain what I can & can’t do If we both do our jobs our success Rate of healing & recovery will be even greater You do put your trust & confidence in consultant & there teams from operating theatres To the nurses On wards to Physio dressing teams & receptionist all amazing I only wish all hospitals was run like this one it speaks volumes when you have the right consultant & a great team ,I had radiotherapy at Southend Dr tzattta even spoke to the consultant down there & check my progress, when I spoke to some patients there only to find I wasn’t the only patient she had worked on, it’s amazing the success stories you hear I could be in safer hands & thank you still smears never enough

I recently had a Septorhinoplasty under the care or Ms Tzafetta at Broomfield hospital and found her to be very caring and helpful and would certainly recommend her as a Surgeon. My surgery was for both breathing difficulties and cosmetic. And I am very pleased with both outcomes six months down the line. She took on board what I wanted but at the same time keeping it natural.
