I had an excellent experience at the Fitzwilliam Clinic under the care of Dr Hodgins. His warm, caring and professional manner immediately put me at ease, the thorough explanation regarding my procedure (abdominoplasty and liposuction) as well as discussing my expectations meant that I felt confident in my decision to proceed. I can honestly say that right from my initial consultation through to my actual operation, and my recovery, the staff were attentive and caring. No question was too much and the instructions for my aftercare were comprehensive so I knew what to expect when I got home from my surgery. My results have exceeded my expectations, I have a defined waist and feel like myself again after four huge pregnancies. By 6-8 weeks I have been able to resume all of the things I did before the operation, if you are considering plastic surgery, I cannot recommend Mr Hodgins and the staff at the Fitzwilliam Clinic enough, my operation has truly changed my life.
I recently had my breast augmentation done by Dr Hodgins, and he was absolutely amazing from start to finish, listened to everything during my consultation and gave me the best advice. I felt comfortable expressing my preferences and he was so helpful in navigating what would look best on my body and in perfect proportion to my size.
I am extremely happy with the care I have been given from my consultation with Mr Nicholas Hodgins every worry or concern was explained to me and the reassurance I received was exceptional. I left my consultation feeling so much better about my decision to have a breast augmentation. I knew I had found the right surgeon to do it for me, the result I am beyond happy with I smile so much more and I feel so much happier with myself now. I would definitely recommend Mr Nicholas Hodgins.
I cannot recommend River Medical and Dr. Nicolas Hodgins highly enough. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the doctor’s expertise and genuine concern for my well-being made all the difference. I felt completely safe, valued, listened to and in excellent hands."
I had a breast reduction. From consultation until I was discharged 5 weeks post op, the team have been fantastic. I had a few general queries post op and had to make a few calls to clear up questions, the nurses were always able to take my call and answer any questions. I was given a lot of clear info on the procedure during my consultation and it really put me at ease as to what to expect. I am more than pleased with the results!
After consultations with a few different surgeons, I knew from my first appointment that Dr Hodgins was the right choice for me. He really understood the results I wanted to achieve and made me feel confident that my goals were realistic and straightforward to achieve. I returned for a second consultation because I was unsure about implant sizing. In the end, I decided to trust Dr Hodgins’ advice, and I’m so glad I did. The size he recommended is perfect, and I am 100% satisfied with my results. The entire procedure was incredibly straightforward, and I was genuinely shocked to experience no pain whatsoever. Every member of the medical team was friendly, professional, and confident, which immediately put me at ease throughout the whole process. As a mum of three, I was particularly concerned about recovery and getting back to everyday life. However, I was able to return to my normal routine within just a few days. I never experienced any pain, never needed to take pain medication, and my results are exactly what I had asked for. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would highly recommend Dr Hodgins and his team to anyone considering breast augmentation
All information provided and explained thoroughly. I felt at ease during the procedure and as relaxed as possible. Recovery for my surgery was 100%, minimal pain and scarring.
I recently had breast augmentation with Mr Hodgins and I couldn't be happier with my results. Mr Hodgins listened to everything that I wanted to achieve and gave me lots of advice and helped me pick the perfect size for frame which I'm so happy with and the natural look that I hoped for. Mr Hodgins was very friendly and professional from I first met him at the consultation and explained everything thoroughly. My recovery was a lot easier than I ever expected and I have healed so well. I was very nervous on the day of surgery but Mr Hodgins and all the team put me at ease and where so friendly and professional. I am so glad that I went ahead with my surgery and am so happy with the results, everything went so smoothly!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Hodgins to anyone. He really took the time to explain everything in detail, went through all potential risks involved and showed example before and after pictures for the procedure I was interested in. I'm very happy with the final results, exactly what I wanted.
I recently had my breast implants removed and replaced by Mr Hodgins. The procedure was completed quickly and professionally from consulation to operation. I was really worried about being in pain and having extended downtime but I was pleasantly surprised that I only had mild discomfort for two days and was able to return to my normal routine within 5-7 days. Recovery was fast, my scars healed quickly and the overall result was exactly what I asked for. Mr Hodgins and his team were excellent from start to finish and a procedure that I was worried about turned out to be much easier than anticipated. I would recommend Mr Hodgins and would like to thank him for looking after me so well and for making the whole process so positive.
A dedicated and meticulous surgeon. Patient focused and practices with impressive attention to detail. I have referred many patients his way for surgery.
