Mr Nicholas Hodgins' patient care is professional, reassuring, caring, and attentive. Patients report good results from procedures like breast augmentation, breast reduction, and abdominoplasty. Most patients experience little pain and have a quick recovery after surgery. Enhanced confidence, better quality of life, and skilled aftercare are patient highlights.
I honestly cannot recommend Mr Nicholas Hodgins highly enough. From my very first consultation, his manner was professional yet so relaxed, friendly and approachable. He has a fantastic way of putting you at ease, making what could otherwise be a quite daunting experience feel completely straightforward. I never once felt worried, as he took the time to listen to all my concerns, answer every question and reassure me throughout. His approachable nature also made consultations and examinations feel completely comfortable and never awkward. I had a breast lift with a slight reduction, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. The surgery was brilliant, my recovery was far better than I could have imagined, and the results have genuinely exceeded all my expectations. What particularly stood out was how responsive and attentive he was throughout my recovery. Any time I had a question or concern post-surgery, he was there to reassure me and make sure everything was okay. I never felt like I was left to figure anything out on my own. I genuinely don’t think I could put into words just how talented he is as a surgeon. What he has been able to achieve is incredible. I would trust him implicitly and wouldn’t hesitate to put myself in his hands again. I am so grateful to him and his team and couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. If you are considering surgery, I would recommend him without hesitation.
I’ve had a very pleasing experience from start to finish .Would definitely recommend Mr Hodgins for any procedures his professionalism and bedside manner were impeccable .I had little to no pain and recovered very quickly . One very pleased patient . !
I received excellent information and care before, during and after surgery for breast implant removal and uplift. The result exceeded my expectations. In my experience Nicholas Hodgins was highly professional, skilled surgeon who was also warm and easy to interact with.
I would highly recommend breast reduction surgery. I play a lot of sport and have struggled with a sore back and shoulders for years. Before the surgery I was nervous about going under anaesthetic but the team reassured me. I found the experience brilliant, the clinic is small so enables a real personal service with every member of staff making you their priority on the day of surgery. I was able to return to work 5 days after the surgery and honestly have not looked back.
The Consultation was informative and I felt at ease throughout. I was able to ask questions and was reassured about the process. My pre and post surgery experience was positive. I did not expect to feel as good as I did so quickly after surgery and all the after care advice and support facilitated my recovery. The before and after photos show the success of the surgery.
The second I met dr hodgins I was made to feel completely as ease . Everything was explained to me clearly and accurately. The procedure went extremely well and I had no issues whatsoever, this was my 3rd breast augmentation/ uplift and it was very much a success. I had no pain afterwards which I was shocked at and didn’t need to take any pain meds at home either . The nursing staff were kind and helpful , they made sure I was comfortable at all times . This was a very positive experience and would recommend to anyone .
I’m now 6 weeks post-op from my breast augmentation and couldn’t be happier with my experience at FitzWilliam Clinic. From my very first consultation to my procedure and both follow-up appointments, I have been made to feel so comfortable and well looked after. I was always taken on time, and the entire team, including my surgeon, were incredibly friendly, professional and reassuring. I was particularly impressed with how carefully my surgeon listened to what I wanted to achieve. He gave me excellent advice on the size and proportions that would suit my body, while also taking into account my specific preference for a tight cleavage with no big gap. I really felt listened to and understood throughout the whole process. I was quite anxious before my surgery, but within five minutes of walking through the doors at FitzWilliam, I felt completely at ease. The nurses stayed with me throughout my recovery, making sure I was comfortable and well cared for. What really stands out to me is the level of care even after being discharged. My surgeon made it clear that his door is always open if I ever need advice or have any questions, which is so reassuring. Six weeks on, I am absolutely delighted with my results and so glad I chose FitzWilliam. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering breast augmentation. The whole experience has been fantastic from start to finish, and I cannot thank the team enough!
After deliberating over having a breast reduction for years l finally decided to go ahead with the procedure being performed by Mr Hodgins. I couldn’t recommend his professionalism and attention to detail highly enough. From beginning to end everything was faultless and l am absolutely delighted with the results. .
Mr Hodgins was very professional right from initial consultation all the way through to aftercare. Everything was communicated prior to procedure. The final result is fantastic and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
I had breast augmentation surgery with Dr Hodgins, and I couldn’t be happier with my results! I spent a long time researching and consulting with several surgeons before finding Dr Hodgins. From the very first consultation, I knew he was the right surgeon for me. He understood what I wanted and made me feel confident that I was in the best hands. My experience has been amazing from start to finish. I experienced no pain after my surgery, and my scar has healed beautifully — it is so fine, small and discreet. The results look incredibly natural, and I still can’t quite believe that, after such a long journey searching for the right surgeon, I have finally achieved this dream. I am absolutely delighted with my results and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Hodgins to anyone considering breast augmentation. I wouldn’t hesitate to choose him again! Thank you, Dr Hodgins, for helping me achieve the results I always dreamed of!
A dedicated and meticulous surgeon. Patient focused and practices with impressive attention to detail. I have referred many patients his way for surgery.
