Miss Judith Hunter gives excellent, kind care to patients. She gives clear explanations for breast reduction and uplift surgery. Patients feel safe and confident; their lives are changed. These successful outcomes bring patients improved confidence and changed lives.
Deciding to have a breast reduction was, for me, a big decision. I felt that women should be judged on their qualities and abilities not on their physical appearance. And yet my breasts always made me self conscious. I am 5’3” and slim so wearing size 32DD increasing to 32E or F and needing minimisers. This led to restrictions on what felt comfortable. I avoided swimming as I hated myself in a swimsuit and chose clothes very carefully. I didn’t wander around naked like others. My mother had reinforced my self image as something to hide. I tried hard to feel confident but envied others especially as my breasts swelled up in pregnancy and breast feeding was miserable. They remained bigger. Then in my seventies I looked back at lost opportunities and began googling. At my age and still working I could also afford it. I decided I only wanted a woman for this. This narrowed the choices to a handful. I read reviews and thought a lot. When I made that first step it felt immediately that it was right. Judith Hunter was welcoming, affirming, smiling, professional and also highly practical and informative. The next steps were easy and there was always her administrator Sophie Freud answering all emails quickly and making sure I felt special. There was a blip due to some odd heart and blood readings (checked and all fine). My GP was highly supportive and said I could do it on the NHS. I decided to pay so that I could have the surgeon I trusted. It all went exactly as planned and recovery was very good. Nothing needed except Paracetamol. My GP commented that recovery speed was probabl...

Great communication and really pleased with outcome. Would definitely recommend Miss Hunter.
So glad I had this breast reduction done with Miss Hunter, she is so lovely and made you feel relaxed and in safe hands from start to finish, they are perfect and I am so happy with the results.
Great experience from start to finish. Miss Hunter explained everything very clearly throughout and I am delighted with the result of the procedure.
Miss Hunter performed a breast reduction and lift on my daughter and we are both thrilled with our experience. My daughter is in her late teens and her overly breasts were causing her discomfort, embarrassment and hindering her activities. The procedure went smoothly, we were able to go home the same evening and the communication and follow up appointments could not be better. My daughter is thrilled with the results, and now ‘doesn’t feel like a middle aged woman!’ She can run comfortably and wear normal clothes without having to hide her shape. She has recommended Miss Hunter to anyone else considering the op, as it was straight forward and life changing.
Miss Hunter has done an excellent job on my breast reconstruction surgery. Her support and advice prior surgery gave me a lot of confidence to go through it with a positive mindset. She explained all details with great patience and her smile throughout this journey was very uplifting. She checked on me post surgery and I felt looked after. Everything went as per her brief and I am very pleased with all post surgery minor procedures and consultations. Very grateful that I had her as my doctor.
From the initial consultation onwards everything was explained fully in terms I could understand.
Having been to a quite few surgeons in the past and had unsatisfactory results in my quest to have what l felt was the perfect body for me. I can hands down say l have never found a better doctor than Judith Hunter. She not only restored my faith in doctors she gave me the one thing l went in search for “Confidence” the confidence to look at my own body to finally after many years be at peace with how l now look. I almost could cry writing this but if l could show how l looked before and what l looked like today. I would gladly upload my photo to show you what an amazing job she did on my breasts. I am forever grateful to this wonderful surgeon for transforming my life.
I immediately felt comfortable during my consultation with Miss Hunter who took time in explaining everything and answering all my questions. I was shown before and after photos of patients who had the same procedure that I was contemplating. I left the consultation feeling confident on what could be achieved. I am almost 1-year post surgery (breast reduction & lift) and I am delighted with the results. My sister accompanied me on the consultations and post-op checks and suffice is to say that when she decided she was ready for some self-improvement she also went to Miss Hunter and she too had a great experience and result. I also want to mention Miss Hunter's PA Sophie who was excellent as well as being kind and patient.
A brilliantly skilled surgeon and even better communicator. Highly recommended.
