Mr Abela consulted me on a suspected Cyst on my hand. He recommended a MRI on this to better understand what it was and howdy it went. This was referred to the Dept at C&W. Due to them being too busy I went privately to be able to keep my follow up appointment. The MRI Dept then gave me an earlier appointment on the day of my private one, which was frustrating and expensive. This was no fault of Mr Abela or the Plastic Surgery Dept. But if you are told its is going to be a long wait, hold on as you are likely to get an earlier one. (for MRI). The surgery was then carried out faultlessly and quickly. I would highly recommend Mr Abela and the Plastic Surgery Dept. of C&W.

In the past year I have had 2 carcinomas removed, one from the tip of my nose and one from above my lip. The surgery was performed on both occasions at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital by Chris Abela. I have regular follow up meetings with Mr Abela, who has a most reassuring manner and is always confident and friendly. The resultant scars are barely noticeable and I can't speak highly enough of all the care and attention I have received from him and the excellent staff at the Chelsea and Westminster. Thank you!

Mr Abela gave me great confidence in him, with his experience and expertise. He has an excellent and charming manner about him. He is very easy to talk to and explains what is to be done very thoroughly. The after care I received was excellent and I would 100% recommend him to any one. My wound did exactly what he told me it would, and it was a pretty bad wound that took 9 months to heal and would have taken a lot longer if I hadn't had the help and support from Mr Abela. Thank you!

I was diagnosed with a malignant melanoma on my scalp in March 2015 and was referred to Mr Abela at the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital. The first day surgery operation was carried out a month later, with the final surgery carried out 3 months later. I have been seeing Mr Abela for 3 monthly follow up appointments since then, and am pleased to say that there has been no recurrence. His professional and reassuring manner during this difficult time has been very much appreciated by myself and my wife.
