I was seen on time and Mr Baker introduced the other professionals who were present. I felt that Mr Baker listened to me and answered any questions that I had in a way that I could understand. Throughout this process I have felt in safe hands which has reassured me whilst I've had difficult decisions to make. I left the appointment knowing that I waa receiving the best care available.
From the first consultation Mr Baker made me feel completely at ease. He fully understood what I wanted and how I wanted to feel, and then provided me with a clear and thorough explanation of each step of the process.
Mr Baker was brilliant from start to finish. He was very professional and courteous, but also always put me at ease. He answered all our questions. He obviously knows his stuff and I am absolutely delighted with the results of my surgery. I can't recommend Mr Baker highly enough.
My whole experience with Mr Baker has been fantastic! He was very clear, and honest which helped me manage my expectations. He actually listened to what I wanted to achieve and as a result, I am very happy with my surgery outcome.
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.
I’ve had both a thigh lift and a tummy tuck with Mr. Baker, and I couldn’t recommend him more. From the very start he managed my expectations really well and never overpromised anything. He took the time to fully explain each procedure, even drawing diagrams to make sure I understood everything — including the risks and realistic outcomes. I also have quite a complex medical background and had actually been turned down by another surgeon before, but Mr. Baker handled everything so professionally and confidently, and I always felt completely at ease in his care. Overall, I felt really well looked after and informed the whole way through and I’m delighted with my results
Mr Baker has very nice manner he made me feel comfortable and confident regarding the surgery I was going to have. He gave a full explanation regarding the procedure and what to expect following the surgery. I am very pleased with results of the surgery and would certainly recommend him.
Mr Baker was absolutely wonderful and so reassuring in every way possible. I would highly recommend anyone considering breast surgery to use him and his team. I was so pleased with my new look, I had a double mastectomy with no reconstruction.
I have been really happy with the care that Benjamin has provided. From the very first meeting with him I have felt safe and in capable hands.
