Mr Andrew Pieri

Breast Surgeon

I’ve just had my final check-up with Mr Andrew Pieri at his new clinic and felt compelled to write a full review in the hope it gives someone else the confidence to do something for themselves — something I now honestly wish I’d done years ago. My husband first came across Mr Pieri online. What immediately reassured us were his posts showing procedures in real time and explaining exactly what he was trying to achieve for his patients, how and why each step mattered. I was especially impressed that he also continues to perform breast reconstructive surgery for cancer patients at the RVI in Newcastle. Reading his reviews completely cemented my decision. I’m 43 and for over 20 years I’d lacked confidence in my body. My breasts were always small and with age had lost almost all volume. Breast surgery had been something I thought about constantly, but fear and circumstances always got in the way. In February I had my consultation with Mr Pieri. I simply explained what I wanted and he carefully discussed implant sizes that would suit my body. He selected 380cc and 425cc sizers, explaining he would choose the one that gave the best result during surgery. I booked for the beginning of August. I did wobble in July — the usual “what am I doing?” panic. I contacted his assistant Helen (who kindly gave me her WhatsApp for any questions). She reassured me straight away and even arranged another appointment with Mr Pieri within days, which completely settled my nerves. Surgery day was handled beautifully. I arrived at 11am and every member of staff — from nurses to anaesthetists — was warm, kind and professional. By 1pm I was in theatre. My anaesthetist, Mr Dave Buckley, was incredible. He immediately sensed I was nervous and put me completely at ease, chatting with me throughout. The cannula was painless and it was obvious he knew exactly what he was doing. I woke in recovery with the most wonderful team: Tracey, Jen, Tinu, Suja, and others. I made sure to ask their names so I could thank them properly — they made such a difference. I went home a few hours later with antibiotics and codeine, and was told to contact Helen any time with concerns. The first night I slept well, the second night there was some discomfort as the anaesthetic wore off, but I managed with just paracetamol and ibuprofen — I didn’t even need the codeine. I had expected far more pain. Recovery was straightforward: one week mostly resting but walking daily, shallow baths for two weeks, and wearing the supportive bra day and night. After two weeks I saw Mr Pieri again — he removed the dressings and explained every sensation I was feeling, including a strange bubbling sensation in my chest which turned out to be normal fluid and swelling that soon settled. I won’t say it’s painless, but for what the operation involves I was genuinely surprised by how manageable recovery was. Sleeping on my back was the hardest part as I’m naturally a side sleeper. At three weeks post-op I went on holiday to Spain. Mr Pieri advised it was fine as long as I felt well and had travel insurance (which was easy to obtain). I returned to work at four weeks, which was right for me as I work with small children and heavy lifting — Mr Pieri recommends no heavy lifting for 4–6 weeks. I am now four months post-op and have had my final check. My confidence is through the roof. My wardrobe is completely different. I still catch myself looking in the mirror and smiling. At first you think “they look big” while healing — then swelling settles, the shape develops, and by week three I went from “I just want to look nice in swimwear” to “I should have gone bigger!” I’ve written this long review for anyone like me — someone who hesitates, doubts themselves, and avoids making choices that could change their life. If you’ve read this far, you’re already halfway there. Just make the call. Andrew — thank you will never be enough.

Fitzrovia Suite

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

We chose Fitzrovia Suite as its part of big NHS hospital in case of any unexpected emergency, it made us feel comfortable being just 1 floor away in case anything happens. The team is wonderful and professional able to create a sense of safety and calm in those moments before and after birth. They were supportive during one of the most vulnerable and delicate experiences a woman can go through, offering practical tips, guidance, emotional support and truly personal care at any hour, for any question or request we had. Midwifes supported us looking after our baby so we can get some sleep waking us is time for feeds, meds and breastfeed support. The midwifes were also available on WhatsApp after the birth, which was incredibly helpful. There is so much information to process when you’re discharged home, and having the ability to ask follow-up questions and get quick clarifications made a huge difference for us. Facility itself is clean, catering is nice, rooms were comfortable, branded toiletries are provided -great experience.

I thought that I would drop you a note by way of some feedback. I came to your hospital yesterday for some “pre-med” bits, e.g. blood test, MRSA, ECG, BP, all in preparation for a procedure on my left thumb that is scheduled for 19th Feb with Chis James. I arrived about 15 minutes before the 12.30 appointment to be greeted by the quite delightful Margaret who promised to not to take too much blood!, so far so good, then off to see Aisha for the other bits to include the ECG. What a charming person Aisha was. I have to say that the whole process was quite remarkable, unlike many NHS environments where, its more that probable the appointment would run late, sometimes for very good reason. Certainly not so with your team at Ashford One. Super-efficient, smiley (esp. Margaret) a pleasure to visit, not often said when going to hospital. May I prevail on you to please pass on my grateful thanks to the two of them and of course all the “unseen” members of the team. All a credit to you.

Mr Humza Malik

General Surgeon

Apart from the appointment running about 30 minutes late everything was fine. Mr Humza Malik was very professional and courteous. From the minute I walked into the room he greeted me with kindness. He explained at great length what the operation entailed. He also gave me worse case scenarios so I was aware of exactly what to expect. That gave me great confidence. He asked if I had any concerns or fears which gave me a lot of reassurance that I was in safe hands. I also appreciate the fact that he thought it was important to meet his patients prior to their operation which made me feel relaxed.

Mr Yu provided me with excellent timely care. He was friendly and very approachable, understanding my huge anxiety related to serious visual problems that could negatively impact on all aspects of my life. He carefully explained the nature of my eye problem and the treatment options available highlighting the relative advantages and disadvantages of each one.

Mr Jan Marciniak

Mr Marciniak is so positive with a wonderful bedside manner. I saw him recently after a total hip replacement and couldn't thank him enough for giving me my life back. I can now play with the grandchildren, walk comfortably without pain meds, drive and generally enjoy life again. So much admiration for the work of this wonderful surgeon.

I needed to have several inoculations for travel to high risk areas. It is possible, but not cost-free, to get this done on the NHS with lots of planning, delays, and waiting for appointments. Or get them all done in one go, here, seamlessly, for a little more cost. Doctor, staff, practice, whole experience all first rate.

Dr Israa Al-Shakarchi

Rheumatologist

It was a telephone appointment. Dr Israa reviewed my symptoms and medications. She assessed my risk of fracture and confirmed my need for ongoing biphosphonate medication . It was useful that she offered me another option for decreasing my steroid medication. I appreciate Dr Israa's personal and professional manner.
