Clear description of procedure and follow up professional and friendly .
Dr Breakey removed a large Lipoma I had on my back. He was professional, knowledgeable, empathetic and extremely compassionate. The Lipoma had increased in size rapidly and due to its size and location, my self esteem, confidence and body image were at an all time low. Dr Breakeys approach and skill meant that the Lipoma was removed promptly and expertly. The after care and advice on reducing scaring was delivered to a high standard, and the over all patient experience was superb.
Thank you for the kind review. It was so lovely to meet and help with the lipoma. It certainly was big!
I saw Mr Breakey for a Rhinoplasty due to my cleft lip and he did amazing was very polite, gave me all the information I needed before hand and for the recovery after. Very happy with the outcome.
Thanks! It was so nice to see you again last week. Good luck with the new arrival!
Having our baby put to sleep for surgery on his face was obviously a very scary situation. Mr Breakey put us at great ease from our initial meeting with him, to before and after surgery. Coming up to the ward ahead of surgery really meant a lot to us and again being the first person to let us know our son was out of surgery and had all gone well. Mr.Breakey went above and beyond to reassure us on the day and we can’t thank him enough for what he has done for us/Ziggy. We had no hesitations in trusting him with our world.
Thanks so much for the kind words. It has been a pleasure looking after you all.
From start to finish Mr breakey has talked us through every detail. I could not have wished for a better surgeon
