Mr David Lam 2018-01-06 Person 5 5 0

I underwent Bilateral Breast Reduction surgery in November 2017 at Claremont Hospital. Now just 2 months later, I’m more body confident than I’ve been since my teenage years (I’m 52 years old!). Prior to making the appointment I spoke to several friends who had undergone surgery with Mr Lam and were all thrilled with their results and also spoke so highly of him as an individual. He’s so lovely, he’s ‘human’ they’d say! Decision made! From stepping into the hospital for my initial consultation, my husband and I were greeted with smiles and helpfulness from staff at every level. Understandably I was nervous but as soon as I met who I now often refer to as my ‘‘Super Man’ - Mr David Lam, my reservations and nerves about the surgery diminished. It’s often said and true that you can decide on a person within the first 10 seconds of meeting them and in this case, Mr Lam was no exception. He listened to my concerns and wishes - I desperately wanted and needed a radical change. After examining me and taking several photos (which horrified me at the time: did I really look THAT bad???), he explained that I needed both a reduction and uplift. At this stage he could sense my husband’s anxieties and talked him through the surgery and the positive the outcome helping to put his mind at rest. l was booked in there and then. I made a second appointment with ‘Super-Man’ just before the operation date with one or two further queries I had and again he sat, listened and put our minds at rest. On the day of surgery I was more excited than nervous. I had waited for this day for so long. Again though part of me was understandably nervous. As soon as I saw Mr Lam however, his smile and friendliness put me at ease and I was fine. The surgery went smoothly. I had a two night stay and have to say every level of staff were brilliant and the nursing staff were absolutely incredible, so kind and caring, as were the staff within the Dressings Clinic which I attended one week later. Very gentle!! Nothing was too much trouble. I returned to see Mr Lam six weeks later for post op checkup, both he, I (and hubby) are thrilled with the results. I am one changed and happy woman. Do I have any regrets? Yes, one big one: wish I done it years ago!!
