Having being diagnosed with Paget’s disease I met this lovely human being, immediately she put me at ease and discussed the surgery procedure, she made me feel relaxed and we discussed my previous partial mastectomy and reconstruction which went very wrong 22 yrs ago. She offered to make my breasts even by doing a melon slice surgery. I could not be more thrilled with the results. She was very supportive throughout all of the procedure and came to see me before I was discharged to discuss what she had done during my operation. She is definitely an asset to the hospital and would not hesitate to praise her enough.

Miss Maclean I feel is an excellent Consultant. She is extremely efficient & talented in her field. Explaining everything clearly,relieving any further anxiety I had, in my experience. I elected to have my treatment with Gael because of her reviews and was extremely happy with my decision ,regarding pre surgery for breast surgery, post surgery and aftercare including follow up appointments, which have all been face to face appointments which I prefer. I can only commend Gael on her experience and confidential personality that I certainly appreciated and still appreciate as my aftercare commences. Thank you Miss Maclean for being with me on my journey.

As somebody with a breast surgeon in the family, I can unequivocally recommend Ms. Gael MacLean as being an exceptional surgeon in every way. She was superlative in explaining my situation, in treating me and being kind to me when I was in the most fragile emotional state, in operating on me, and in answering all my questions in a way that was clear and understandable. I trust Miss MacLean absolutely.
