Delightful as always, so helpful and reassuring with any questions I have had,truly a great experience
What a lovely man, Prof Drew has been so supportive and understanding and I am so happy with the results. It didn’t all go according to plan but Prof Drew was there throughout the 2 procedures. Thank you so much!
Professor Drew explained everything clearly. I had complete understanding of the surgery and what to expect afterwards. A very professional and friendly team. Excellent care throughout. I would highly recommend the Professor.
Excellent from first consultation, surgery and after care. Prof Drew made me feel relaxed and talked me through every stage so I new what to expect
Confident and talented surgeon with an extremely high quality of results and care. Wonderful at listening and informing of results and outcome possibilities in the consult stage, and incredibly attentive and communicative in the aftercare process. Very considerate and open to patient's desires for surgical outcome.
Skilled surgeon
