Reviews
I found Doctor Chester very easy to talk to, fantastic service from start to finish and I would highly recommend. I loved the outcome of my procedure. Thank you
The service and attention at the Droitwich Spa Hospital is excellent. I found Mr Chester to be very attentive to detail, a good communicator and above all, I am very satisfied with his surgical skills. I would have no problem recommending him to family and friends.
Very helpful and supportive care.
After speaking to several surgeons about breast implants, I decided to go ahead with the procedure with Mr Chester, as I was so happy with how my initial consultation went and had read many good reviews. He responded to all my emails quickly, and answered all my questions thoroughly. I was extremely nervous on the day of my surgery, but felt Mr Chester was sympathetic and reassuring. I felt like I could contact him if I had any concerns during the recovery process. My recovery was almost completely pain free, and I had no complications. 6 months later and the results are exactly what I asked for - I couldn't be happier!
I am a natural worrier but Mr Chester explained everything so patiently, and I felt like he took even my smallest concerns very seriously. I would definitely recommend.
Mr Chester removed a large lipoma from my shoulder. Due to other health issues, my preference was for the operation to be under a local anaesthetic, Mr Chester was very sympathetic, listened to and understood my concerns and the procedure was undertaken under local with sedation. I felt fully informed throughout the process, he explained exactly what would happen and how the procedure would be undertaken. Mr Chester and the team at the QE were very professional, caring and I felt safe at all times. I would thoroughly recommend Mr Chester on the basis of my experience.
