I saw Dr Abela for a small procedure and I highly recommend him. He took great care in explaining what was necessary and made sure i had no concerns. The end result was perfect and also i recommend his administrative staff who were equally helpful and efficient.

Mr Abela is a caring and highly professional surgeon. He operated our 3 year old son a year ago at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, to remove a rapidly proliferative lesion on the dorsum of his nose. From the first consultation we felt reassured and received a clear picture of the situation. The outcome of the surgery was beyond what we could have hoped for. He treated our son with the utmost care, kindness and respect and this continued through each followup appointment. We are very grateful and it's fortunate that our son has been under his care.

Mr Abela made me feel comfortable from the very first appointment. He performed a otoplasty (ear-pinning) procedure on both my ears under local anesthetic. I was confident in Mr Abelas expertise the whole way through I felt reassured. Throughout the procedure his whole team were very friendly and made sure I was feeling comfortable, offering to play my choice of music and keeping me warm. I am now over the moon with the results and cannot more highly recommend.

Mr Abela operated on my 3 year old daughter, to remove a dermoid cyst. From the first consultation, we knew that we were in good hands. Mr Abela was great with our daughter, who is shy and quite fearful. He walked us through our options, including advising us that waiting for the surgery until our daughter turned 3 would be best in our case. Mr Abela (known by our daughter as 'the clever man') did a superb job, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. We are very grateful.

Mr Abela and staff provided an efficient and comforting experience always making sure that I know what they planned to do, and what I should expect. Mr Abela himself came in before the operation to give further assurance.
Everything went well and I was given clear instructions as to how to keep the wound clean etc.
I was seen in due course for a follow up when the procedure was explained again and how it had been successful
