Excellent Consultant and Surgeon. I saw Mr Chester at Droitwich late 2019 with an issue concerning my wrist. Mr Chester performed surgery and I am happy to say you can barely see the scare. I am very happy with the service that he provided and would have no hesitation in using his services again or recommending him to others.

As an NHS patient and having to wait well over my allotted appointment times, Darren Chester was attentive and sympathetic. His dedicated professionalism provided complete confidence for the medical procedure I required. After care again, was attentive and thorough leaving me in no doubt that my treatment was successful.

I went to see Mr Chester about an abdominoplasty I would recommend Mr Chester for surgery his bedside manner is outstanding he listens to everything you have to say very pleasant and polite very easy to talk to, Mr Chester is the type of doctor that will do surgery for you but only if it’s necessary I am going into my six month recovery so happy and pleased with my results the scarring is minimal I had a few concerns on my last checkup but Mr Chester put my mind at ease. During my recovery mr Chester gave me his personal mobile so that if there was any concerns or issues ,problems I could get in contact with him. He also spent time talking to my husband and explaining the operation, I was about to undertake and put his mind at rest. If at any time I decided to have any other surgery I definitely would go back to Mr Chester.

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.
