Mr Smith, from the very begining of being diagnosed with breast cancer was so very caring but most of all very honest. Very straight about what the treatment will do, from the day I would loose my hair and stating if I didn't have my treatment my life expectancy. I put my life in his hands three years ago and still do. He has always cared, who ever I speak to he gives all his patients the same care and attention. I would describe Mr Smith as honest, caring, passionate about his job and sympathetic about the treatment for cancer. One of the best.

Mr Smith comes Very Highly Recommended with me... I've wanted my chest done since I was 16 yrs old all the other girls where developing and I wasn't, so u can imagen how much this operation ment to me! I didn't go into this half heartedly I've been researching breast implants for 12 yrs n I've met with a lot of surgeons in that time aswell but Mr Smith just made me feel at complete ease he knows his job like the back of his hand. I walked into the consultion room so nerveous and came out with all the trust n conference in him! One thing I will say is please take Mr Smiths advise on board and know his saying it because he know exactly what his talking about not any other reason. I was told by my friends to go as big as I possibly can because i'll come out uill want them bigger, but this is not the case at all, Mr Smith advised me to go a bit smaller I'm so happy with the results, my chest now matches my size and frame perfectly...! I would recommend every last friend n family member to Mr Smith! N the aftercare is second to none!! I'm a very satisfied customer n I can't wait for my next op! Thank you again Mr Smith if u read this

I first met Mr Smith in January 2011. I have always found him to be extremely approachable, friendly and very professional. I had my mastectomy in October 2012 and reconstruction last year. Mr Smith is a very skilled surgeon, my reconstruction is excellent. I see Mr Smith regularly and feel that I am indeed a very lucky lady to have such a highly skilled surgeon looking after me. I will always be grateful to him.

Mr Smith carried out my mastectomy and reconstruction in August 2008 and subsequent breast reduction. From my first appointment, I found Mr Smith approachable and considerate which put me at ease. His communication style is open and honest and his recommendations displayed a decisive and knowledgable approach which gained my complete confidence early in my treatment. My scaring is minimal and my post Op care was exceptional, Mr Smith was always there with a calm reassurance and sense of humour, which I really appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend him to future patients.

I first met Simon Smith in August when he had to break the news to me that I had breast cancer. I was, quite naturally, devastated but he immediately told me that it was treatable and put me at my ease. He concentrated on the positives and did not dwell on the negative aspects of having cancer. He was fully aware that this would be the first time I had ever undergone surgery and that I was very nervous, but his manner,friendliness, obvious ability in his field of medicine and professionalism filled me with confidence. He explained very clearly exactly what he would be doing and what the outcomes would be. I have had several consultations with him since the operation and I have come to the conclusion that I have been most fortunate in having Mr Smith as my surgeon. In addition, I have been impressed by the comments from other staff in the hospital who, without exception, find him a pleasure to work with and value his immense knowledge and expertise. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
