I have no adverse criticism at all. The procedure was carried out trouble free and aftercare was also realistic and carried out professionally by team members. Mr Chester was reassuring and had a friendly manner. As a retired medical professional I was happy to put my problem in his hands and have come away thoroughly satisfied with the care from start to finish. I would recommend him to others if asked. Thank you.

Mr Chester is kind and considerate. From the first consultation I had with him I felt at ease. He talked me through all my options and listened to my wishes about the operation I needed to have on my foot. Mr Chester and his team were very caring and thoughtful and looked after me very well before, during and after my operation. I could not have asked for a better surgeon and team.

I am very pleased I chose Mr Chester for my recent surgery. I decided to have breast implant removal after they had been in for 8 years for a number of reasons. My first consultation with him was very reassuring and I was given some options to consider. He explained everything very well both positives and possible problems that may happen. He is clear and calm in his manner. I felt very well looked after throughout my pre and post op period. I opted for the removal and mastopexy and I am very pleased with the results. The after care was excellent and he was contactable for queries via e mail so at no point did I feel unsupported. He offered me 3 follow up appointments to check that all was healing well. I would highly recommend mr Chester as a surgeon, thank you.

I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Mr Chester for a BCC incision and skin graft. He is an excellent communicator and explained exactly what was needed for my condition. The operation was a total success and the follow up appointments were all very effective. I am extremely pleased with how Mr Chester treated me and would recommend him without hesitation.
