I can not put into words how amazing the whole team is here in Bristol. I had my first consultation with Chantelle who took me through the procedure details and what I could expect to pay. This was followed up by an appointment with my surgeon Mr Ahmed who gave me a physical examination and then gave me ALL options available to achieve what I wanted. I cant stress enough how many surgeons will only tell you what they want to do and dont give you a full picture. Here it isn't sugar coated, no false promises or ideas of results you just can not achieve! Mr Ahmed gave me diagrams, options and a realistic outcome if I decided to go through with the operation. You are then given everything to take away and given time to think through everything before making any financial deposit/commitment. No hard sale, no pushing you into anything intact the reverse they want you fully committed with no pressure. Fantastic approach!!!!
I wanted to go ahead and then I had a choice of dates they could carry out my surgery. Once booked in I had to have bloods taken and as a needle phobic I knew this wouldn't be pretty so I have to offer the biggest thank you to the nurses that did this for me - amazing just absolutely fantastic, patient, kind and gentle really good at keeping me calm and not feel like a freak when I got panicked. Because of my phobia it was arranged to have my operation with extra nursing staff to care for me at no extra cost.
The operation was amazing - the staff were able to put me at ease and made me feel like I had gone in for more of a treatment than a major operation. Aftercare was second to none and I had two nurses with me all night long. Could not fault any of it, my pain levels were managed so well and the food in hospital was divine!
Aftercare has been out of this world, I had a fall after my operation and caused an internal bleed which A&E offered to drain however my surgeon wanted to ensure I was looked after so it was arranged to go back in and see The Private clinic for a further procedure again at no extra charge. I had my surgeon, anithetist, two theatre nurses and an aftercare nurse all to myself all morning at no charge fixing something I had done to myself! FOC I dont know anywhere else that would do that??
Having stitches out, ordering free binders, bras, garments has been no problem, calling up to ask questions they have been so helpful. The nurses each called me to check on me.
I have to say a massive thank you to Katie, Brenda and Selina who have just made the whole experience so wonderful! I can promise you wont get care like this anywhere else!
