I had a minor procedure with Mr Chester. It’s the second facial lesion I have had removed by Mr Chester. He is both highly professional and extremely skilled in his job. Mr Chester completely reassured me and explained everything very clearly. He is a true gentleman. I would highly recommend him.

Mr Chester made time to listen and advise me as to which surgery would give me the best outcome, but respected my wishes. He answered all of my questions and supported me allthrought the whole experience. Mr Chester was compassionate and gentle, explained things in ways I understood and ensured I was happy with everything discussed. Pre and post operatively I was able to contact if I had any concerns or questions I needed to ask. I couldn't recommend Mr Chester enough, his surgery has changed my life and I have results I couldn't be happier with.

Mr Chester explained carefully and reassured my mom who was very worried about the procedure. He was very keen to ensure that she felt comfortable and informed about her operation. His follow up care was thorough and at all times treated my mom with kindness. We would absolutely recommend Mr Chester to any patient considering plastic surgery (my mom, who is 80 years old, had medical, rather than cosmetic surgery)

The time and care given by Mr Chester was amazing. From the first free mini consultation to follow up appointments, I always felt like my needs and health were the most important thing and nothing would compromise that. I trusted Mr Chester’s opinion and it has paid off. The results of my tummy tuck are amazing, I can finally enjoy the results of my weight loss with the help of Mr Chester. Prior to my operation i had lost over 5 stone but was left with hanging skin. The hospital staff were great and helped me with my recovery, it was also reassuring to hear how highly the hospital staff spoke of Mr Chester.
