A fantastic experience from start to finish. Explained everything, genuinely cared and I felt that if Mr Baker did not believe that my procedure was right then he would have said so. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend Mr Baker.

High level of care by kind caring practitioners. Good information about the surgery beforehand. 3 night stay in hospital with good explanations of next steps by physiotherapist. Kind Breast care nurse support by phone a week later. Fantastic results . I now have a new breast similar to the other which is warm and soft. After 9 weeks Ive been told I can return to my normal activities. Nipple reconstruction, tattoo and thigh liposuction as next steps. I couldn’t be happier.

Mr Baker, demonstrates professionalism with attention to detail and care. He listens to your requests and explains all procedures fully. Exceptional surgeon. I am now approaching 60yrs and I had under gone, several tummy surgeries from my mid 30’s, leaving me very scarred and deformed. On top of this, one of breast implants had ruptured. Mr Baker was able to completely modify my tummy scars and replace my breast implants. My new look is astonishing. An amazing service, kind and attentive staff…. I highly recommend this surgeon.

Excellent from start to finish. After consultations with 2 other surgeons, it was a welcome relief to meet Mr Baker and finally feel listened to. He let me talk about what I hoped to achieve, and offered his expert opinion with no pressure, just a lovely manner that put me at ease. Extremely happy with the result and would 100% recommend.

Ben explained the planned procedure very clearly and used diagrams to help understanding. He was very professional throughout, courteous interactions during any examination and very reassuring. The outcome of the procedure has exceeded my expectations.
