Florian has been the most supportive, kind medical professional I’ve ever had the pleasure to be treated by. What he achieved with my reconstruction surgery on my nose was astonishing. But it’s been the support and the after care since my op that has put him above the rest. I couldn’t recommend him higher if I tried. He’s an amazing human being, makes you feel so comfortable and has endless, exhaustive experience and knowledge within his profession. He’s the best of the best- I would now only want Florian for any aesthetic work from here on in.

Excellent, from initial consultation all the way through to discharge. Extremely informative and felt comfortable to ask any / as many questions as I wanted.

I had a septoplasty and turbinate reduction with Mr Bast around a month ago and I have been very happy with the outcome. While there is still some swelling still to go down, I believe the surgery was successful. Mr Bast had an excellent bedside manner. He explained everything clearly to me, and took time to answer my questions and make me feel at ease. He gave clear instructions about post-operative care. I had some discomfort for about 3-4 days post-surgery but could easily control this with standard painkillers. I had only a small amount of bleeding, again this was to be expected and easily brought under control. It was easy to arrange everything insurance-related with Mr Bast and his colleagues. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Bast.

I had a septo-rhinoplasty with Mr Bast. From start to finish everything was extremely clear and I felt in very safe hands. I was given all my different options, everything was very thorough. On the day of the operation I was very nervous but I was completely put at ease, the anaesthetist Mr Bast works with is also great. Post op was much better than I imagined and I had very clear post-care instructions. My breathing is so much better and it has really improved my quality of life. I am so glad I chose to have my operation with Mr Bast.

Florian provided first class medical care. His surgery has completely fixed a condition that I’ve been suffering with my whole adult life. He was always patient and very attentive, clearly explaining my procedure and recovery in layman’s terms. My heartfelt thanks for his service.

I came to see Mr Bast for issues with my breathing (caused by a deviated septum) From the first time i met him i felt at ease. He explained the process clearly, managed my expectations and was honest about what he could do and the results i was expecting to achieve. There was no hard sell and i felt that he genuinely listened to my concerns. I had a septorhinoplasty 3 weeks ago and am already so happy with the results. I had zero bruising and recovered very quickly. Friends that saw me only a few days after having the cast off couldn't believe that i had recently undergone surgery as i was healing so well which is a testament to the highly skilled surgeon that Mr Bast is. I cannot recommend him enough. I also wanted to mention his PA Julia who is really friendly, always at the end of the phone and is very knowledgeable, what a great team.
