I recently underwent a breast reduction with Mr Oliver and am delighted with the results! Mr Oliver is an exceptional surgeon and his expertise is second to none. He is also very personable and approachable, he really took time to discuss the procedure and all my concerns . I am now 9 weeks post op, and he has achieved the unimaginable!! It’s a life changing operation, and my lovely new breasts now sit exactly where they they should be, and are much more in proportion with my frame (nearly 71bs removed!) .It literally is a weight lifted. I got exactly what I asked for, Mr Oliver has a really good aesthetic eye , a truly talented surgeon! The ward staff were also lovely and the care throughout, from inpatient to outpatient was outstanding. Thankyou so much for making a profound difference to my life! I thoroughly recommend Mr Oliver and his team.
I had an excellent experience with my surgeon Mr David Oliver —professional, skilled, and truly attentive throughout the process. The care I received was outstanding, and I’m delighted with my results. Highly recommend!
Mr Oliver was clear and very accurate in the expectation of my Liposuction result, with a little but of weight loss and exercise on my part we achieved a good result for a lady of 64yrs. Mr Oliver was very charming and very clear about what was required to achieve my goal, I shall always be grateful to him for restoring my confidence in wearing my favourite clothes again.
The best experience from start to finish and couldn’t be happier with my results
Met for initial consultation , felt at ease right away, so friendly, informative and patient, answered all of my questions and went through every possible option until we came to a final decision.
Mr Oliver is an excellent surgeon who instantly gives you confidence in his work. He takes time to explain everything fully and answer any queries or questions. My surgery is the best decision I have ever made and it was an informed choice, with every aspect of the procedure and any risks clearly communicated. I am so happy with my result.. Would highly recommend to anyone considering a surgical procedure.
