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 hope the treatment helps. If not we will find an appropriate solution! Thanks for the review!
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.
That is great feedback- thank you! It means a great deal to me that you placed your trust in me and that I was able to meet your expectations.
Very friendly, straight forward consultant. I’ve seen him several times and completely satisfied with his work, exceptional.
Thanks for the kind words, it was a pleasure to help.
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.
Thats so good to hear! I am particularly pleased that you felt that I took on board what you were saying and I do hope that your symptoms respond to the suggested treatment.
Very informative and put my mind at ease
So glad I was able to help. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback.

I've visited Mr. Leontsinis several times and he has always been professional, friendly and understanding. He treated the ongoing issue and explained what he was doing during the procedure. I was made to feel comfortable and would not hesitate to go back if needed.
Thank you for posting such an excellent review.
Mr Leontsinis is without a doubt a clear expert in his field, his clarity of communication and assured progression of treatment is excellent. Also, his friendly demeanour and support was so much appreciated, backed with considerable expertise in handling my situation sensitively.
I would like to extend my thanks to you for taking the time to leave such a positive review regarding your recent treatment. Your positive feedback means a great deal to me and I am sure to the nursing team who helped to look after you on the ward. It is incredibly rewarding to know that our efforts have made a difference.
