Dr Chester made me feel comfortable from the moment that I visited for my initial consultation. I originally wanted a lower Blepharoplasty but he suggested that it would be prudent to have the upper lids done as well and he was totally correct. In fact I would have been very disappointed if I hadn't, as this has made the most difference. He did not put any pressure on me to undertake the surgery and suggested that we wait until the covid situation had improved somewhat. The surgery went without a hitch and I felt very confident in Dr Chester as he explained everything comprehensively and in a very calm and reassuring manner. The after care has been better than expected as I was under the impression that I would have one consultation and that would be it but I have had 3 post operative consultations. This I feel is over and above and demonstrates what a professional and vigilant doctor he is. I am delighted with the results and feel years younger and so I would recommend this procedure to anyone but only if it's Dr Chester who is carrying it out. Thanks so much.

I had gynecomastia surgery and loose skin removal around my chest area from excessive weight loss. The insecurity of the loose skin left after weight loss is as bad if not worse than when i was severely obese. He listened to exactly what i wanted and did exactly what i was after. Mr Chester's care and mannerisms are flawless. Very attentive and caring. Can whole heartedly recommend.

I went to see Mr. Chester after developing a lump on my thigh. As you can imagine I didn't quite know what it was. Mr. Chester straight away but me at ease and was able to get a scan really quickly and then an operation a week afterwards. Mr. Chester takes time with you to explain the options and what to expect. Mr. Chester is very professional and I have no hesitation is fully recommended to anyone thinking of seeing Mr. Chester.

Mr Chester carried out the fasciectomy of my little finger- necessary because of a Dupuytren’s contracture. Prior to surgery he gave comprehensive information about all aspects of my treatment - alternatives - the surgery - the outcome - the necessary follow-ups. At all times Mr Chester was approachable and empathetic. And the outcome of the surgery is even better than I’d expected. Thank you Mr Chester!

I’ve thought about how to describe my experience with Dr Chester and how to give him the recognition he deserves. I was recommended by a family member after I was ready to start my breast augmentation journey. From the get go on my first consultation, I knew that I was in safe hands. My frame is petite and I expressed to Dr Chester that I wanted my new boobs to compliment my frame, not take over. He was so thorough with all of the information, he listened and answered every question or worry I had. With my worries of my frame being so small, he put aside 3 sizes for me to try and I knew that he would only use the size that looked natural and was comfortable for me. I was able to go to the biggest size that we had talked about, with plenty of room, so natural I can’t believe they aren’t real and the scars are so minuscule. The after care at the hospital was amazing and Dr Chester made sure to check in when he could. The post-op checkups have been a great way to ask the odd questions about the healing process, looking after the scars and overall checkup of the implants. I could go on and on, and it still wouldn’t give Dr Chester the outstanding review that he deserves. Would 100% recommend!
