Had a consultation with David Gately. He took some notes and briefly looked at me, said I was not a goid candidate and that the reason I was unhappy with my under eyes is because I'm not a "lard-bag" meaning I'm thin, and that I just have to accept I am "getting old". Bear in mind I am 42 and this came from a surgeon pushing 70 at least. He also kept comparing me to my 14 year old daughter who'd accompanied me which was just weird and unhelpful. He told me basically that "life's a sh!t" and to just get on with it, he had no real advice and was just dismissive and actually quite insulting. Within 5 minutes he was holding the door open signalling me to leave. Very rude man. I paid £200 to be treated like that. I was polite and kept my composure but was really annoyed later when it sunk in. Horrible experience, if he couldn't help me he at least shouldn't have insulted me! Shocking from a supposedly well regarded surgeon.
A hardworking, honest, talented, properly trained colleague.
