I have recently undergone abdominalplasty and liposuction following 4 stone weight loss. Mr Baker explained everything in great detail and was very supportive of my decision. He gave me realistic expectations and quite frankly they have exceeded what I imagined. He was always available for advice or if I had concerns and was happy to see me if required post op. Absolutely amazing surgeon and a genuinely lovely man. Thank you Mr Baker, you have changed my life for good!

Mr Baker recently performed my Brachioplasty surgery. At my consultation he was very informative and explained the procedure and explained to me all the things I should expect and how the operation would be performed. I had my operation at the Welbeck clinic in London. The staff and nurses were excellent and made me feel at ease. Mr Baker spoke to me before the surgery to check all was ok and again after. I felt very relaxed. After the operation I felt fine and had no pain in the next few days a little discomfort but no pain I was extremely pleased on how I felt. Mr Baker saw me a few days after the operation and a week after to check and change the dressings. My bandages stayed on for about 6 weeks. When the bandages were removed I was very pleased on how slim my arms looked there was some scarring which I expected but is under my arm and not noticeable Now after six months the scarring is getting less and I was informed at my consultation this could take up to two years but I am very happy at present with the results I and take a great delight in being able to wear sleeveless tops after many years off wearing long sleeves. So far I am amazed at the results and how much self-confidence the surgery has given to me. Mr Baker has done an amazing job and I would recommend him for any surgical procedure.

Mr Baker performed Carpel Tunnel and Trigger Finger surgery on my hand less than 48 hours ago. The bandages and dressings are off already, the wounds are very clean, no bruising or infection and I am pain free. The procedure was calm and I felt relaxed throughout. I am very grateful for all he did for me, his empathy and swift resolution of the problem.

Mr Baker is an excellent surgeon. I had an implant in my left thumb. He was very friendly and explained all I needed to know. Aftercare was explained very well. The surgery went extremely well with no problems. After just under two months my scar is barely visible. Would definitely recommend Mr Baker and thankyou. The original pain has totally gone.

Following a fall in the summer I was left with a real problem with my left wrist. I was in constant pain, my wrist clicked when I used it and on occasions it gave way. As I am a rowing coach it meant I struggled to drive a launch or my car and I ended up wearing a wrist support all the time. When I first consulted Mr Baker he suggested I tried steroid injections but after the first one I felt very little benefit so he said that I need to have either a carpectomy or a wrist fusion. I was very lucky that as my cartilage was intact Mr Baker was able to perform a carpectomy which has left me with more movement than if I had required a fusion. From the time I first met with Mr Baker until the follow up, I felt extremely well looked after. Mr Baker listened to me and seemed to understand my problem. He explained exactly what the surgery would involve, gave me a timeline of how my rehabilitation would progress and he made the effort to come up to see both me and my husband after the surgery and could even show us photos of the operation. My progress following the surgery has been fantastic. I have no pain, swelling or numbness and although I have a small limitation to my movement, it really makes very little difference to anything I need to do. I would highly recommend Mr Baker.
