I recently had a breast augmentation with Mr James Wokes and i’m thrilled with the results. I had wanted to have this done for many years but never had the confidence to follow it through. I’m so glad i did and i cannot thank James enough. From my first consultation I knew i had made the perfect choice - he is highly experienced and explained everything clearly to me, I felt at ease at my appointments and he is very professional. My results are amazing and I would absolutely keep recommending him. Thank you again ☺️
Mr Wokes was so welcoming, put me at ease instantly and knew that the trust was there immediately. I have had the most amazing experience from start to finish and would recommend Mr Wokes for any surgery as he is just well the BEST! Thank you for everything
Choosing to have a tummy tuck was a huge decision for me and I am so grateful that I chose Mr Wokes. As a mum, my body had changed and after a melanoma diagnosis on my tummy with multiple scars from biopsies my confidence had disappeared. After my experiences I was incredibly nervous about surgery. Mr wokes was incredibly kind, approachable, and understanding towards my situation. I never felt judged and he’s also very down to earth, which made me feel instantly comfortable in his presence. He never made me feel rushed and always took the time to answer my questions honestly and thoroughly. I felt listened to, supported, and reassured throughout the entire process. I had my surgery in November, and the results have honestly exceeded anything I could have hoped for. The transformation is amazing, but what has meant the most is how it has made me feel. For the first time in years, I feel confident in my body again. With my wedding coming up, I can genuinely say that Mr Wokes has given me a confidence I didn’t think I would ever have again. Not only is he an exceptionally skilled surgeon, but he is also a genuinely caring person who wants the very best for his patients. His support before and after surgery was outstanding, and I always felt that I was in safe hands. I have since recommended him to friends and family and would encourage anyone considering similar surgery to book with Mr Wokes and his team.
I had upper eyelid surgery from the fabulous Mr Wokes earlier this month. I cannot complement him and all the staff at Lase any more highly, right from the initial consultation all the way through to having my stitches removed. I felt comfortable, safe and at ease in their care at all times. Best decision I have made and I am over the moon with the results.

Thank you for trusting me with your care 🙏🏼
I had breast augmentation and upper bleph at the same time. Pleased with the results
My visit went very well. Everything was explained to me fully throughout all of my consultations and on my actual surgery date. Mr Wokes made me feel very comfortable and I felt left in good hands. He has also kept in touch and checked in on me ever since my surgery date.
I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience with Mr James Wokes. From my very first consultation, he made me feel completely at ease — he took the time to listen, explained everything clearly, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. The surgery itself went incredibly smoothly, and the results are absolutely amazing — even better than I had hoped for. What really stood out to me, though, was the aftercare. It was truly brilliant. I felt fully supported throughout the entire recovery process, and any questions or concerns I had were always handled quickly and professionally.
I cannot recommend Mr James Wokes highly enough. I decided to have my breast implants removed and a breast uplift after losing a huge amount of weight. From my very first consultation, he was professional, approachable, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to really listen to what I wanted and explained everything clearly, making sure I had realistic expectations and felt completely comfortable with my decision. His calm and reassuring manner made a huge difference, especially as I was quite nervous going into surgery. On the day, everything was handled with such professionalism, and I felt I was in very safe hands. The care I have received throughout, including after surgery, has been incredible. I’ve never felt like ‘just another patient.’ Mr wokes is not only an exceptionally talented surgeon, but also a genuinely kind and compassionate person. Thank you 😊

Thank you for trusting me with your care.
I’ve been a patient of James for 10 years, he provides a truly exceptional service. He’s warm and welcoming, takes the time to give expert guidance and makes me feel completely at ease in the clinic. The results are consistently natural and subtle. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Glad to hear you are happy with my treatments! Thank you
Professional and top class surgeon. Wouldn't want anyone else.
James is an excellent surgeon with friendly manner.
