Mr McLean was friendly and helpful from the start . He put me at ease supporting me to make choices and being transparent about the surgery I would be having . On the day of surgery he was professional but also calming making sure I was ok and understood what was about to happen . The follow up he made sure I knew my outcome was good straight away to put my mind at rest . Can’t speak more highly of him and the team .
Having recently had surgery for breast cancer, I can honestly say it was a total privilege to have Ross McLean as my surgeon. I felt in safe hands from the start and his manner and professionalism filled me with reassurance and confidence. I was never made to feel like just another patient on a conveyer belt and his gentle manner is perfect for such surreal, worrying and anxious moments.
My experience with this department was fantastic, Ross helped put me at ease at this difficult time, he explained the procedure and together with his team they were excellent, keeping me informed all the way, everything went smoothly, I am very pleased with the operation results, recovering well, awaiting radiotherapy route, it was also great to have a local clinic that I could attend additional appointments. I was made aware any issue in the future I can still contact them. I would like to thank them all once again for their hard work and dedication.
I cannot recommend Mr McLean highly enough. From the very first consultation, his communication was exceptional — clear, reassuring, honest, and compassionate throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything in detail, answered every question patiently, and made me feel completely informed and supported at every stage. Mr McLean’s guidance and professionalism immediately put me at ease, and I felt genuinely safe and confident in his care from start to finish. He has a calm and reassuring manner that made a huge difference during what could have been a very anxious experience. I truly felt I was in the best possible hands. The surgery itself exceeded all of my expectations, and the results are absolutely amazing. His skill, attention to detail, and dedication to achieving the best outcome are very evident. The care and support I received both before and after surgery were outstanding. I am incredibly grateful for the excellent treatment I received and would not hesitate to recommend Mr McLean to anyone considering breast surgery. He is an exceptional surgeon and I would confidently refer friends and family to him in the future
I don’t think there’s been anyone i haven’t told how lucky I have been to be looked after by Ross McLean, Emily and Laura. During a very difficult time, they have been there to assure & support and answer my 20 questions. I genuinely think they are the best team and I feel incredibly grateful for their care and attention and making sure my cancer has gone!!
Ross is a fabulous Dr he explained everything in detail and what he intended to happen in surgery. He has a wonderful bedside manner and makes you feel completely at ease. I cant thank him enough.
I found Mr McLean professional and caring. He was easy to talk to and listened to my concerns. He gave clear information that was understandable. I felt comfortable during the during the appointment.
Dr McLean was friendly and very professional. He explained in detail why I had been referred to him and what would happen next. He made me feel so at ease in a very worrying situation.
Absolutely nothing in my eyes that could be improved- outstanding care from initial diagnosis to last appointment- everything explained in timely, caring manner which helped.
I recently had a motiva preserve breast augmentation with Mr MrcLean. From the initial consultation to the after-care following surgery, nothing has been too much hassle. I instantly felt comfortable in Mr McLean’s care, time was taken to explain every aspect of the procedure and I was encouraged to go away and think about the surgery and whether I wanted to go ahead on multiple occasions. The results are better than I could have imagined and the recovery following the preserve technique has been unbelievably quick. I would recommend Mr McLean to anyone looking to have breast surgery.
Ross is a highly skilled and knowledgable surgeon. He has great communication skills and is empathetic and compassionate with patients. Surgically, he is dual oncoplastic and cosmetic trained and his results are amazing. He constantly delivers patient centred care tailoring surgical decision based on individual needs and desires. I highly recommend him.
