I had a breast reduction a year ago under the fantastic care of Mr Chester. I was very nervous about the procedure, but was instantly put at ease by the caring manner and professionalism shown. Mr Chester listened carefully and gave all the information needed to make an informed decision about going ahead with the surgery, and I am so glad I did. It has honestly been life changing for me. I waited a year before I wrote a review to allow me time to see results long term. No more back ache and Migraines are very very minimal now.The care I received from all staff at the hospital was great and Mr Chester went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and looked after in every way. The aftercare was also very good and I felt fully supported at all times right up until my discharge. I would highly recommend Me Chester to anyone contemplating a procedure.I would like to say a big thank you for improving my quality of life.

Mr Chester did a minor procedure for me, a serbaceous cyst that was on my face. He listened to me and explained everything to me in detail at my initial consultation. I had the operation 2 weeks later. He and his nurses were all lovely, putting me at my ease, and the operation was over quickly and efficiently. I have now been discharged and couldn’t be happier with the result and a scar that is healed and fading rapidly, in fact my son couldn’t even see it when he was looking for it ! I would recommend Mr Chester to anyone thinking of finding a plastic surgeon as he’s very kind, calm and reassuring.

Mr Darren Chester listened to my concerns and carefully explained my options. I am absolutely delighted with the outcome of the procedure.

I had 3 growths on my skin removed by Mr. Chester, 2 of which turned out to be malignant. He carried out the procedures with exemplary skill, explaining at every stage what he was planning to do, the risks involved and dealing with any questions or concerns I had. Throughout the 3 or so years I was treated by Mr. Chester he maintained a friendly and courteous disposition. I have absolutely no hesitation in commending him to anyone in need of an excellent plastic surgeon.
