Explanation

Mr James is an amazing surgeon. When I first met him I was apprehensive and scared. Instantly he put me at ease. His manner is superb. He explained fully the procedures o required for best results. He’s honest and doesn’t give false expectations. I’ve had three surgeries with him now and each one he spends time to explain everything fully. He makes sure I’m fully comfortable with everything and that I understand. His aftercare is just as good as well. Making sure he reviews you after surgery until he is satisfied. I would highly recommend Mr James to anyone. Thank you Matt for all your work. You’ve made such a difference to my confidence and my life.

Absolutely delighted with the outcome of breast augmentation. I felt Mr James understood what I wanted to achieve and what would work with my lifestyle.

Explanation

Dr James is one of the friendliest, most personable doctors I've ever seen. As an 45 year old American living in London for the past 10 years, I needed a dermatological procedure done for the first time in the UK and I was nervous- both for the procedure itself and for the results. I was in such amazing hands with Dr. James from start to finish and I cannot recommend him enough, it was honestly a joy to be treated by him. I am also very happy with the minimal scarring from the procedure and thankful for all of the advice he provided to make the recovery as smooth as possible.
