Mr Chester treated me for a large cyst on my back. From initial diagnosis through to be discharged, Mr Chester put me at ease, was very informative and accurate in the information he gave me about the procedure and also aftercare. I couldn't be happier with the result and would absolutely recommend Mr Chester to anyone that needs his services. Top class service by a great professional.

By far the best doctor I have had. I had a keloid scar on my ear and received steroid injections and a small operation to debulk the keloid. I was a patient for over a year with Dr Chester, he was absolutely amazing and really made me feel at ease every time as I was so nervous. I couldn’t be happier with the treatment and care I have received, and I am so thankful for his support.

I approached Dr Chester after putting up with a reasonably large lipoma on my shoulder for more than three years, which showed no signs of reducing in size, having been told that I could not have this removed on NHS, due to it being “cosmetic”. I had a consultation and we discussed the pros and cons and he highlighted the risks in detail. I decided to go ahead with the removal and had it removed under local within 4 weeks by Dr Chester. The surgery lasted an hour and I have had great recovery. The scar is healing well and I have had no problems.

Dr Chester is very good, makes you feel cared for and he's very genuine, you come away from seeing him confident that you are in capable hands and he is a really nice guy to accompany his abilities
