I came to see Mr Chester due to struggling to live with self harm scars from years before, it was effecting my confidence and ability to move on, Mr Chester did 2 separate minor surgeries to remove the scars making them less visible. During both my operations Mr Chester kept me calm and comfortable, and I couldn’t of asked for a better surgeon. Mr Chester has turned my life around and given me the confidence I had lost for so many years. I will forever be grateful for what he did for me and he deserves every bit of recognition for the amazing work he does.

I had spent 5 years of my life, following the birth of my 3rd child, trying to get to the bottom of why my stomach was always distended. When I finally realised it was to do with my diastasis recti, I started investigating surgery. Mr Chester was recommended to me and from the first consultation, I was convinced he was the surgeon I would want to proceed with should I decide to go ahead with the surgery. Mr Chester took the time to listen to me and my reasons for wanting the surgery, and then explained in great detail the pros and cons of going ahead with the operation (abdominoplasty) . I never felt any pressure or as if he was trying to “sell” the operation to me. Instead, what I had was a very detailed account of everything I could potentially expect to happen if I went ahead.
I finally decided to go ahead with the operation, and on the morning of the surgery, Mr Chester did an amazing job of making me feel at ease, reassuring me and generally making me feel calm. His follow up care was excellent too. Mr Chester has a very warm, approachable demeanour. I am so happy I went ahead with the surgery.
