I would recommend Mr Chester without hesitation. He is friendly, professional and clearly takes great pride in his work. From the first appointment patients are put at ease and I personally felt very reassured that there was no pressure or hurry or time restraint put on decisions. I would happily return to Mr Chester! Thankyou

I saw Mr Chester recently with concerns about a previous procedure. He is extremely understanding and very easily to talk to. He gave absolute reassurance and clearly explained the situation. I have total confidence in his judgement.

First and foremost he put my mind at rest about the procedure and exactly what would be involved. The benefits and risks were clearly set out for me to be able to give an informed decision as to whether or not I should go ahead with surgery. His manner was at all time professional but never lacking a sense of humour. He was competent yet friendly.
