I am a 19 year old male who has recently undergone gynaecomastia surgery carried out by Mr Nicholas Hodgins. From my first consultation right up to my discharge, I have felt very well looked after and supported with all staff being extremely kind and professional. The difference that the surgery has made to my confidence and body image is nothing short of life-changing. Since my early teenage years I have been too self-conscious and embarrassed to take my top off in front of other people, whether that be at the beach or in changing rooms. Finally being able to take my top off and not feel embarrassed or ashamed of my appearance is something I never thought I would be able to experience. With the help of Mr Hodgins and all of the staff at the fitzwilliam clinic, I have the confidence to go swimming and wear close fitting tops I never had the confidence to wear. I am delighted with the final outcome of my surgery and would definitely recommend Mr Hodgins and the team to anyone else who feels the same way I did before I underwent gynaecomastia removal surgery. Thank you so much for giving me back my confidence.

I originally seen Mr Hodgins for a consultation recommended by Kingsbridge for revision surgery to fix issues I had with a previous surgeon. In total I seen 3 separate surgeon’s however, Mr Hodgins was the most reassuring, direct and understanding out of them. He listened to my concerns and had an in-depth chat for approx an hour to discuss potential options for me which is why I decided to go with him for corrective surgery. I put my trust in Mr Hodgins and he did not disappoint. He was extremely informative so I felt at ease the day of my surgery and himself and his team were very supportive post op with after care and any questions I had. Couldn’t recommend him enough, I was so worried I couldn’t get my surgery fixed but he done a brilliant job at getting me the results I asked for and bringing my confidence back.

I am so glad I finally decided to have breast augmentation as I had considered it for years . I had chosen Dr Nicholas as he is the best Brest surgeon. I had a very professional consultation and was very happy with the size he recommended. I trusted Nicholas would select what suited me after listening to what I wanted . The operation went very well . I healed very quickly and returned to the gym lifting weights again after 5 weeks . I would highly recommend Nicholas and the clinic, 10/10 rating .

From the moment I entered River Medical I knew I had picked the right place for me. The minute I walked through the door I was immediately impressed by the professionalism of the place and it gave me a strong sense of confidence and reassurance straight away. After being to a number of consultations with different surgeons in different clinics I felt the most at ease with Dr Nicholas Hodgins. He was the only one who took his time explaining everything in detail, expectations, realistic results, showed me before and after results of surgeries that would be the nearest to mine. He was upfront and honest about everything. He also has a lovely, kind mannerism about him. The procedure all went ahead with absolutely no issues. I was actually surprised at how straightforward it all went. The before, during and after care was outstanding. My nurse Mateja, I couldn’t say enough good things about her. The most wonderful person you would want caring for you. She goes above and beyond. She is definitely a credit to the clinic. My results were more than I could of dreamed off. So happy and full of confidence again. Thank you again for everything.
