Excellent, very happy.

He was good at taking my history and the camera nose scope thing, however I don’t feel satisfied with the level of detail spent looking at the CT scan, nor do I feel satisfied with his conclusion. I sent it to him in advance, his secretary confirmed she has access but in the appointment it was clear he hadn’t looked at it (which was the reason I booked to see him in the first place to look at the CT scan results) and almost sent me for another CT scan until I pushed him to please have a look at the version I had on my phone in the appointment. He barely looked at the scan after which he dismissed the abnormality as just bone growth.

Ruined. The problems I had with my ear I was in discomfort. He’s left me in unimaginable pain every day . The surgery left the nose wonky with a huge red scar underneath. I went back to him I was desperate need of help, he told me he would call we were going to get though this. I havent heard from him since . His advice to use nasal, rinse, had ruined the hearing in my other ear. I don’t think he took this seriously with all the problems I have had medical with my ears. I think he thought he knew the answers, which didn’t work.
Dear Patient, I came across this review expressing your unhappiness about the treatment I provided. You say I left you in unimaginable pain, wonky nose, huge red scar and ruined your hearing. The pain after surgery generally settles but, in your case, may have taken longer than usual. If a rib graft was used, the rib can bend resulting in a wonky nose. Scars on the midline partition of the nose settle well after surgery but can take long and look red. Nasal rinse is used after nasal surgery, sometimes can affect hearing but this recovers when one stops rinsing. As a rule, I explain all the risks and benefits of surgery to my patients, and also provide letters with this information. If things go wrong like in your case, I make it my priority to attend to my patients and do my best to resolve the situation. We have a policy of openness and ensure no patient is lured into having surgery. My office staff and I do our best to look after our patients, and we attend to all calls, both before and after surgery. I ensure I see my patients when they need my help or assurance. I am sorry you feel your treatment did not meet your expectations, I am open to discuss this further with you if you contact my office and I will do my best to resolve the matter for you.

Such a wonderful Prof, highly recommend

Professor D’Souza has been an absolute legend in fixing what I thought of as an impossible problem. The care and attention that I received from him before, during and after the procedure has made for an excellent patient experience. I am incredibly happy with the results and again, I’m incredibly grateful. Before surgery I had trouble breathing, which led to issues with sleeping, exercise and quality of life in general. Within 2 weeks of surgery, even with the swelling, already my breathing was so much better that I was able to sleep through the night. Since my primary concern was the improvement of the airway rather than for aesthetics, the fact that no one even notices that I had my nose operated on is a bonus as the appearance has been enhanced in a way that isn’t immediately obvious (though, of course it is straighter now than before). All this to say, I am incredibly thankful to Professor D’Souza and the practice for helping me.

From my very first consultation regarding blepharoplasty with Mr D'souza through to the final follow-up appointment, I could not recommend him highly enough. His persona made me feel comfortable at the outset and I never felt any pressure to proceed with surgery. He was very reassuring and this was particularly welcome during the procedure itself. I am so pleased with the results of my eye lift, more so than I could ever have imagined. Thank you!
