Before choosing Mr Chester I actually saw 3 other surgeons. As soon as I had my initial consultation I knew he was the right choice for me. I had an abdominoplasty performed after a large weight loss. The care was phenomenal. I felt completely at ease, my concerns and ideas were listened to. I was given options and advise. Mr Chester researched my medical condition to see if that would have any impact on my procedure. All of my many emails were answered in a thorough and timely manner. Nothing was too much trouble. The surgery went smoothly and the care before, during and after exceeded my expectations. As did the surgery itself. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. The whole experience has been positive and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Chester.

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.
