- 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 had Shoulder Reconstructive Surgery (Cancer) done by Mr Damir Kosutic. On meeting the Doctor ,my fears were quickly allayed by his patient manner and obvious knowledge and confidence All was explained to me in simple terms and was easy to understand. 100% Professional.
- Relief to find a surgeon with specialised experience on lipoedema/ lymphoedema to trust with my leg surgery. Excellent care and attention. Lovely friendly nursing staff. I am now booked in for my other leg.
- Mr Kosutic is an extremely competent doctors who only has the best outcomes in mind when dealing with his patients.
- Superb support and professionalism all the way through my treatment and even now 12 months later through the regular check ups
- Very happy with the quality of care Mr Kosutic has provided my husband aver the last 15 months, from diagnosis, through two surgeries and now his 3-monthly check-ups. He is always patient, friendly and informative, and the outcome could not have been better
- 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.
