I met Mr Chester for my first consultation in August 2017 after having been for numerous consultations with other consultants previously. Mr Chester made me feel instantly at ease and confident about the procedure. He was extremely thorough, honest and professional. On the day of the procedure I was greeted by friendly hospital staff along with Mr Chester and his anaesthetist. After surgery I was extremely well looked after and woke up to a beautiful bouquet of flowers that had been left by the hospital staff. The healing process was better than expected and the care from start to finish was second to none. I am over the moon with the results and would highly recommend Mr Chester to others considering the procedure. Claire.

I was recommended to get in touch with Dr Chester from another dermatologist due to himself retiring. I visited Dr Chester about a small mole on my face that I wanted to have removed for my own self-esteem. Within around 6 weeks, I'd had my first appointment, booked the minor operation and had the mole removed. I was absolutely delighted with the outcome of the procedure, after 3 weeks the wound was fully healed and the scarring was minimal.

I had a tummy tuck from Mr Chester, he was really informative about the procedure in my first appointment, giving me all the options and the possible side effects, he made me feel completely at ease. I went ahead with the procedure Mr Chester came to see me before the opperation, I felt calm and trusted him completely. After the procedure he came to see me. I have been for a few follow up appointments. I am six weeks post opp and I'm in love with my new tummy, everyone including my own doctor has commented on how neat my scar is. I would highly recommend Mr Chester

I highly recommend Mr Chester, right from the initial consultation to all the post opp appointments. I was totally put at ease throughout the procedure, one nurse told me it was just like going to the dentist, I felt nothing. I am so pleased with the result after many years of saggy eyelids I am, at last, able to wear make up again, all the signs of the procedure have practically disappeared now. My one big regret is not have the opp undertaken many years ago.

I had breast enlargement on January 18th 2017. I had every bit of confidence in Darren from the first time I met him. He listened to exactly what I wanted, answered the questions I had and totally put my mind at ease. Darren had a good chat with me on the first consultation to make sure I was doing it for all the right reasons. Thankyou so so much Darren, you changed my life for the better. I found the confidence I thought I never would have! I feel like a new lady & I love love my breasts. I highly recommend Darren. Thankyou!!!!
