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.

I had a mini abdominoplasty and I am delighted with the result. It has corrected a problem I have had for years : my only regret is that I didnt have it done sooner. I was treated with the utmost care and very much on an individual basis. He explained everything very clearly so that I knew exactly what to expect. Mr Chester was a great choice for me and I would 100% recommend him.

Mr Chester is obviously an extremely skilled surgeon. This is complemented by his fantastic communication skills which made me feel listened to and cared for. He is patient and kind and I feel I was very fortunate to be treated by him.

Had a lipoma removed off my forehead, was very nervous going into the surgery but the friendly and professional service I got off Mr Chester and the attending nurse couldn't have been better. During the procedure felt very at ease and aware of what was taking place at all times which helped settle anxiety, have been left with a very minor scar which I'm sure is a result of the hard work I received from both during the procedure, would definitely recommend

I decided to book an appointment to see Mr. Darren Chester for a consultation regarding breast reduction surgery in May this year. Something I've been thinking about for years, I decided I needed more information & went online to find a surgeon suitable. I was extremely nervous arriving at the hospital, straight away on meeting Mr. Chester I felt at ease. He was kind, caring, informative & he listened to me. He explained fully all the pros & cons of the operation, he examined me & I went away feeling happy. I decided to book my operation with Mr. Chester, I waited couple month for the operation. I'm happy to say it went extremely well, I'm over the moon with the results.
