- I had DIEP flap surgery with Dr. Johal in Nov 2024, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. The procedure itself went brilliantly, and the aftercare was exceptional. Dr. Johal and the whole team showed incredible care, compassion, and professionalism throughout
- I recently had bilateral gynecomastia surgery performed by Mr. Kavan Johal, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the initial consultation to post-surgery care, Mr. Johal was professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the entire process. He thoroughly explained the procedure, addressed all my concerns, and ensured I felt comfortable at every step. The surgery went smoothly, and the recovery was quicker than I expected. I’m very happy with the outcome and feel much more confident.
- Excellent service could not be happier .Removed a gigantic lypoma from our daughters back. Very professional ,Empathetic and clear in explaning the procedure . Just over two weeks on from the procedure and the scar looks amazing. .The after care has been second to none .
- Mr Johal has always been a through surgeon. He listens to everything I have to say. He made a detailed surgery plan and was able to achieve it all in the set time and I am happy with the results.
