Fantastic overall experience. I had total confidence in Mr Withey. Everything was explained very well. I was given 2 consultations before the procedure and 3 for aftercare. More if I needed. I am very happy with my overall result so far.

Mr Withey provided an outstanding experience from initial consultation all the way through to surgery and post operative appointments and care. He outlined all possible outcomes so that I could make an informed decision and was patient, professional and thorough every step of the way. I am delighted with the results of the surgery and cannot recommend Mr Withey highly enough.

Explanation

Mr Withey carried our liposuction on my upper back area to remove a large lipoma which was causing me severe back pain and a curvature to my spine. He carried out the surgery with precision and my back is now more straightened and I am no longer experiencing back pain. I was told recovery could be slow and I would have some scarring and a bit of discomfort after the surgery but I recovered fairly quickly with minimal scarring due to the expertise of him and his medical team and I am very pleased with the results after the surgery.

Explanation

He was beyond excellent and I have dealt with many doctors in the past. Caring, highly knowledgeable, he did not panic me unduly (although apparently the condition might have been more serious than it turned out to be - he explained it afterwards in more detail). At the time he explained, as we went through the actual treatment, everything that he was doing so I had not problem understanding it. He warned me about side-effects so I was well prepared about what to expect in future - there are no surprises. He was also very caring. He even came in on Saturday to ensure that I was monitored as required! I would recommend him to everyone I know.

From the first second of meeting and my correspondences with Simon and his p/a Aleksandra, I felt cared about, looked after, my opinions counted, comfortable, part of every aspect of my process and kept totally up to date with everything. I can't thank them both enough and couldn't recommend them highly enough. And the surgical results and aftercare were amazing
