- I cannot rate Professor Baildam highly enough. He has been so reassuring, professional and handled this difficult experience with such sensitivity. I was extremely nervous and he had a fantastic way of putting me at ease. Outstanding outcomes following my preventative surgery.
- Professor Baildam is a kind, considerate, innovative, skilled and experienced surgeon. He has helped three members of my family now over a 35 year period. I cannot speak highly enough of him.
- I’ve seen about ten different specialists this year, and Prof Baildam was by far the best. He actually listened to me, and responded to what I asked, with his vast knowledge and clinical experience. This ability is is seemingly rarer than it should be. Would recommend to all!
- Professor Baildam was truly amazing I’ve been to many doctors and got no answers and he’s helped me so much. He’s such a lovely person and listened to everything I said I’d definitely recommend him.
- I am absolutely blown away with my results! I have had reconstruction surgery after a lumpectomy and a revision of a scar under my armpit. I cannot explain how incredible Professor Baildam has been. My scars are so tiny, almost invisible, my breasts look superb! A perfectionist!
- I would highly recommend Professor Baildam. He and his team provide a fantastic service. He makes sure that all questions are answered and complex diagnostic results are carefully explained.
- Fantastic appointment
- I felt comfortable and respected in my appointment. Professor Bailden’s took time to listen to my questions and it was really helpful to hear his perspective.
- I have been a patient of Professor Baildam's on two occasions for reconstructive breast surgery, following breast cancer, I hold him in the highest regard as being an outstanding consultant he is so professional, caring & knowledgeable, I would recommend highly.
