- I was very impressed with Mr Florian Best. He was extremely informative, straightforward and clear, and I really appreciated that he didn’t beat around the bush or recommend anything I didn’t need. I came away from this appointment feeling particularly reassured. He clearly knows his subject extremely well, explained everything in an easy-to-understand way, and gave me complete confidence in his opinion.
- Great experience. Excellent care, friendly staff and a very positive result.
- Florian is an incredibly friendly and very skilled surgeon. I had an incredibly complex revision rhinoplasty with multiple grafts and the results are really good. The post surgery care has been amazing too. His secretary Julia is really nice too and always gets back to you really promptly. I could not recommend Florian highly enough.
- Professional and reassuring with great results
- Mr Bast conducted revision surgery for me following a poor septoplasty procedure undertaken nearly 10 years ago. Mr Bast's approach was pragmatic and respectful, focussing on fixing the structural issues whilst taking a more conservative approach to the aesthetic elements. I really appreciated his transparency and balance when discussing the options available to me, and the time given to making a decision I felt comfortable with. I am incredibly pleased with the results so far.
- Booking a septorhinoplasty had been a huge decision, however I met Mr Bast for the first time, I knew straight away that I wanted him to do my surgery. He was incredibly knowledgeable, answered all of my questions and it was clear from my research of him that he was a surgeon to be trusted. I’m incredibly happy with the outcome of my procedure and cannot thank him enough for his expertise, kindness and support from initial visit right through to the aftercare I’ve experienced.
- I had an excellent consultation with Mr Florian Bast today. He was extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease. I attended regarding a specific treatment I’ve struggled to find a provider for, and he immediately identified the option! Highly recommend!
- Mr Bast provided an excellent assessment and diagnosis of my issue, in a professional and compassionate manner, walking me through the options that were available to me. I am very satisfied with the results of my septoplasty which has significantly improved my breathing, quality
- I could not recommend Mr Bast more, he is not only extremely attentive, caring and personable but also an exceptional surgeon! Both functional and aesthetic concerns were addressed exactly as I'd hoped. The results are incredible and recovery was extremely easy with his support.
