Excellent consultation with Mr Timothy Leontsinis. You can get a sense straight away that you have made the right choice, instantly put my mind at ease, over any concerns I had about the consultation. Came away feeling a lot happier and very confident that I made the right choice with wanting to see Mr Leontsinis. First class experience.

I had a rhinoplasty with Dr Leontsinis at the end of January. I had an initial consultation back in December and he explained everything about the operation in a good level of detail & we discussed what I wanted, what is achievable etc - I had previously seen other rhinoplasty surgeons who gave nowhere near the level of reassurance and knowledge as dr leontsinis did. He got me in for my surgery very quick, on the day he came to see me before and after surgery and made me feel very calm about the operation. I am only 5 weeks post op & so happy with my results, he has done an amazing job & achieved everything I wanted. Would recommend to anyone looking for a very knowledgeable and professional rhinoplasty surgeon.

Mr Leontsinis listened. As a health professional myself, this is important. Up to now, I had been dismissed by several others including GPs, Advanced Practitioners and Nurses. I now feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel.
