Mr Mark Simmons

Written by a private patient at Spire Little Aston Hospital

Only had a consultation with him and walked away feeling completely dejected. Had a consultation with him for a rhinoplasty, from the very moment I met him he seemed very off and cold with me, which was a shock as I saw how he greeted other patients before me and was very warm and welcoming to them. Throughout the consultation there were many red flags to me; he made me name every plastic surgeon I had already had a consultation with and told me to go into detail about what I discussed with them, which I thought was very bizarre and intrusive (no other plastic surgeon I saw ever asked me anything like this), he made a few snarky comments towards me, for example he asked if I had any previous plastic surgery or fillers or other cosmetic work and I stated I hadn’t (I have two veneers but I didn’t even consider those as my mind was thinking more-so actual facial procedures) and when I stated I had veneers he made a sarcastic comment stating “thought you hadn’t had any cosmetic work done, are veneers not cosmetic?” and the tone he said this in was very snarky and not playful or lighthearted at all. He completely rushed through the consultation and he almost seemed to try to get it over and done with before I’d even asked a single question, I quite literally had to stop him and ask him if I could ask him the questions I had for him. And to top it off when the consultation ended he tried to overcharge me for it; when booking the consultation via telephone the receptionist told me it would be £150 and I could pay on the phone or on the day and I went with on the day, Mark Simmons tried to write down somewhere around £250 and I had to stop him and tell him what the receptionist told me and only then did he change it to the appropriate £150. I honestly was in a lot of shock from the whole experience, he made me feel very small and invalidated, very unnecessarily rude. Safe to say I never had my rhinoplasty with him, so I don’t know what he is actually like as a surgeon but I’m glad I didn’t stick around to find out, good luck to anyone out there who chooses to go with him.

Absolutely first class treatment. Rarely do you find a consultant so caring, holistically understanding and committed to surgically fixing your illness. It has been several years since my operation (2017 I think) and my chronic nasal sinus problem has never returned, despite lurgy and covid. Many thanks again, Karl

I had a revision Rhinoplasty procedure with Mr. Simmons at the Spire Hospital Little Aston. He has a wonderful bedside manner and made me feel completely at ease. He explained clearly and concisely how challenging the operation would be as a revision procedure. Because my nose is extremely fleshy with very thick skin there was a great deal of swelling after the operation which unfortunately 14 months later still hasn't subsided. Mr. Simmons is obviously a highly skilled surgeon, one of the best in his field, but if your nose type is anything like mine, I would advise you to think carefully about undergoing this procedure.
