- I saw Mr Iwuagwu for a consultation in regards to Breast Surgery. I went ahead with y surgery and he was fantastic from the beginning through to the end of my surgery. Mr Iwuagwu and staff treated me with the upmost respect and was kind and caring. I would definitely recommend.
- I definitely would not recommend. 15 yrs on, my breast implants are still ridiculously too high, and nipple position is ridiculously wrong. Other surgeons have confirmed the outcome was suboptimal. I feel disfiguredDoctor's response -I am truly sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with the outcome of your surgery - your satisfaction and wellbeing have always been, and will remain, my utmost priority. My clinic is always open, and I would be more than happy to welcome you back to the clinic should you wish to discuss your concerns further. Patient care remains at the heart of everything I do, and I would gladly offer a consultation to explore your current situation and offer guidance on possible next steps. Note that it has been fifteen years and your body appearance would have changed with time and changes in weight etc. But every patient’s journey is deeply personal, and I always strive to approach each case with the greatest care, precision, and attention it deserves. Should you choose to return, you can be assured that you will be listened to with compassion and supported every step of the way.
- Mr Fortune Iwagawu helped to remove a sebaceous cyst from my face that I'd put up with for years and was growing larger. He was kind, caring and professional. It didn't take long to get booked in to have the procedure. He done a really great job of removing it. Highly recommended
- Mr. Iwuagwu was friendly and informative from the start and skilfully carried out my cyst removal operation with minimal pain or scarring. Admin care by his staff was also outstanding in terms of helpfulness and responsiveness.
- I would completely recommend Mr Iwuagwu, I was put at ease throughout every appointment, the operation and aftercare and got exactly the results that I wanted. If I ever have a cosmetic procedure again I will be returning to his care.
- Really happy with patient care provided. Very professional and reassuring. Was explained everything thoroughly and was well looked after. My procedure was carried out 14 years ago now and still now very happy with the results and still no complications. Highly recommend
- Dr. Iwuagwu, was excellent in every way. He explained my sitution to me and provided me with clear options for follow on care. You are lucky to have such talent in your organization.
