Mr Baker was absolutely amazing. I saw him as I wanted very old implants removed. He went through the process with me, explaining the scarring, how long the procedure would last and what to expect afterwards. He and his team were absolutely fantastic on the day of the procedure, going through each step with me and making me feel at ease. I not only had the implants removed but also had reconstructive surgery otherwise I would have just had hanging bags at the end. My breasts are perfect and I am thrilled. The scarring is very small as the incisions were thin and extremely neat and they have faded over the last few weeks already. The after care service was five star, with regular check ups with Mr Baker and the breast nurse, Carmell. I would never hesitate to use Mr Baker again, in fact, I wouldn't want anyone else.

I ripped my thumb off and snapped the ligament off the bone in my right hand (adductor tendon incised). I was very frightened but had to trust someone - I was very lucky to be put under Richard Baker's care. He booked me into theatre - Even though the ward was full, he found me a bed. Before the operation, Richard and his assistants Rachel and Haroon, were great in explaining the surgery procedure and how, until they had opened up my thumb, the full extent of my injury would not be known. Also the risks were explained to me, though, as above, I had to trust someone. During the operation Richard found my ligament and reattached it to my bone using a Mitex anchor. He put my hand into a cast and I kept it raised - It was very painful initially and I was worried the anchor would come out. However that was more in my mind than reality, as nearly two months later, I've built confidence and been discharged! After two weeks I had my cast replaced (I chose a pink one with glitter!), then after another two weeks I had another cast for a week. Then I was transferred to hand therapy and was given another, smaller cast, so I could start using my fingers and doing gentle thumb exercises. Two months later my scar is very neat and becomes less conspicuous each day. My thumb is getting stronger and I'm doing lifting, stretching and pinching exercises. I am incredibly grateful and thankful to Richard Baker, his wonderful Plastics team at Wexham Park Hospital, his operation assistants including Haroon, Liz who changed my dressing, Hayley who arranged my appointments, cast ladies who were very patient, and Stephanie and Lauren in hand therapy. Not forgetting the nurse who kindly did my hair in a plait for theatre as I was distressed and couldn't use my thumb. I would highly recommend Richard Baker. I was worried I'd never be able to use my thumb again but Richard Baker has given me the confidence and courage to realise that I will be able to #savemythumb #iamverylucky

I recently had a cmc joint replacement with myo-prothesis. The operation was done by Mr. Baker. I have had problems with both my hands for more than a decade. The care both before and after the surgery was excellent. I am delighted with the results. I have an improved range of motion in the thumb and the wrist. The scarring is minimal and very tidy. I believe this has been the best care and most attentive follow up that I have received. I am very grateful to Mr. Baker for improving my hand.
