- I recently had all four of my wisdom teeth removed and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Dr. Katherine George made the whole process feel calm and reassuring — she was incredibly friendly, informative, and professional throughout. The hospital itself was very clean, and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming, which made a big difference. You could really tell that patient safety and comfort were a top priority. I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for treatment with peace of mind.
- I had my wisdom teeth removed and everything went smoothly. Miss George was professional, answered all my questions clearly, and recommended the best approach for my complex case. The surgery was quick and efficient, and my recovery was fast with no complications. I was quite anxious beforehand, but the whole experience was reassuring. I’m very happy with the care I received.
- Dr Katherine made me feel incredibly reassured and well looked after the whole time. She was calm, informative and had great bedside manner. Thank you (to all of the team too).
- Katherine whole heartedly put me at ease with her calm friendly nature and her professional knowledge. I have a consultation and a procedure, both of which went smoothly. I am above and beyond impressed and so glad I chose Katherine to perform the procedure. Thank you to her and her amazing team, Izzy
- I saw Miss George for consultation at the HCA and procedure at One Welbeck. She is incredibly warm and friendly and puts you at ease. Very professional and just a very kind and approachable doctor. Procedure went really well and I am so pleased. Both clinics were great, the staff were all very kind, waiting times were very little! Miss George’s secretary Suzanne must also be mentioned as she was very quick to respond, was very organised and very friendly.
- Katherine was so calm and reassuring and made the whole procedure far less stressful than it could have been. This is down to her pleasant manner and skills as a surgeon.
- I have had the pleasure of being treated by Miss George for 2 issues over the years. She was outstanding when I first met her and is outstanding now. A great professional and a lovely person
