Mr Li is a very skilled and competent surgeon who has the most relatable and genuinely sincere manner. His skill as an oncoplastic breast surgeon is outstanding and I am thrilled with the results. Breast Cancer is a challenging diagnosis, but Mr Li (Dr Ran) made it as comfortable and stress free as possible.
Ran has such a lovely manner even when delivering the news you never want to hear it was delivered with compassion and a take away of positivity. His communication throughout has been excellent. Not once have I felt like just a number. Every step of the way he has put me at ease and clearly explained all procedures; pre and post surgery including recovery. Thank you so much, Ran.
Ran is a wonderful caring surgeon. I always feel supported. He inspires confidence and was excellent at explaining every step of my surgery and recovery.
Ran is an exceptional surgeon. After being newly diagnosed with breast cancer, Dr Li was my first point of contact. He was compassionate, knowledgeable and empathetic, you could tell he cared about his patients. He ensured I had all the information I needed prior to starting treatment and undergoing surgery. All my concerns and questions were answered and it was very reassuring to know I was in such great hands. I underwent a double mastectomy and implant reconstruction in August 2025. The results exceeded my expectation, they look incredibly natural. He is really talented and has a great attention to detail. I would highly recommend Ran.
