  • I was treated by this Dr 9 years ago, I had a melanoma removed from just below my knee. The result is remarkable, you can only tell I've had surgery by a faint figure 9 scar. There would have been a deep crater but he somehow moved flesh round and it looks brilliant. Very nice Dr

  • Dr Kosutic performed Migraine Surgery on me in July 2024. I was having 3-4 migraines per week and they were really affecting my way of life. Thankfully since the surgery I have only had 4 in 25 days, and these went away quickly with OTC pain medication. Would definitely recommend

  • I would like to take the opportunity to thank Mr Kosutic for the excellent work he did on my lip. It is now virtually fully healed and practically invisible. The experience from the initial consultation to the procedure and after care has been exceptional.
