I can’t thank Dr Abela enough for the wonderful wide excision surgery he has done for me. I had a follow up appointment today (one week since surgery) and the wound looks fantastic! I am very grateful that Dr Abela has applied his cosmetic skills so that the scarring is the best it can be. He is also very friendly, informative and put my mind at ease throughout the whole procedure. I knew I was in such good hands with Dr Abela and his team and I will always be grateful for the treatment I received. Big thank you from me.

Mr Abela was my consultant surgeon when I was diagnosed as having a melanoma and needed wide excision surgery.
I was extremely happy with all my appointments with Mr Abela as well as the actual surgical procedure. Mr Abela was kind, courteous and reassuring throughout and he very much helped to allay my fears by talking me through the whole procecure and answering all my questions both before the surgery, during the procedure and afterwards.
The site of the surgery was in an embarrassing place right on my groin area but again Mr Abela made me feel comfortable and relaxed during all the examinations and surgery. Mr. Abrla's hospital team were also all very good.
I had the best of care from Mr Abela at Chelsea and Westmeath Hospital

In my experience, which involved reconstruction following facial surgery for a deep-rooted skin cancer, Mr Abela is a brilliant plastic surgeon, who carefully explains all he is going to do, and has done. He is also easy to talk to, and very personable.

I found Mr Abela to be excellent in explaining the treatment necessary which was carried out very efficiently and I have no hesitation in recommending him. It is so reassuring to have one's concerns about operations dealt with sensitively and professionally.

I have nothing but the highest praise for Mr Abela. Having received Mohs surgery to remove a cancer from my nose, Mr Abela administered plastic surgery to close up the cavity. It was an excellent result that I was almost completely delighted with. I mentioned that I could see a slight indent and, if possible, would like that to be corrected. Mr Abela spent time researching possible solutions for this. What he offered was perfect for me. I couldn't be more pleased.
He is a total delight to visit, always positive, polite and cheerful. I consider myself very fortunate.
