- Mr Warr is an exceptional surgeon. I’ve had two procedures over 10years and from the very first time I met him I felt completely at ease and knew I’d found the right person. He understood exactly the results I was looking for and was completely honest throughout every step. My results are amazing and have completely changed my life and I will be forever grateful to him. Thank you!
- Mr Warr performed my upper blepharoplasty and I couldn't be happier with the results. Not only were they incredibly skilled, but their compassionate and clear communication made a stressful experience much more manageable. I felt completely confident in their care
- I had a breast reduction with Mr Warr. From initial consultation, when I wasn’t sure what to expect, through final review, I could not be happier. At every appointment I felt at ease - unhurried and listened to - and I knew I was in experienced hands. I LOVE the results!
- If you are searching for a surgeon who not only excels in skill but also truly cares about their patients, look no further. Dr Warr has changed my life, and I will be forever grateful!
- Very pleased. Healed really well. Scar almost unnoticeable. Great job!!
- From my initial enquiry to post op follow ups, my experience has been five star. Efficient, informative, friendly, great communication (Janet is just so lovely). I would highly recommend Dr Warr and his team if you are contemplating any procedure.
- My operation went very well. Mr Warr and his staff were professional and friendly. They were accommodating with regard to the timing of the operation and some additional work I requested. Communication prior to the operation was good and I felt they kept costs to a minimum.
- I underwent a breast reduction and upper blepharoplasty with Mr Warr and honestly couldn’t be happier with the results so far. The whole process has been nothing but flawless, his PA Janet has been amazing and Mr Warr has made me feel at ease throughout. Would highly recommend.
- I had a great experience with Mr.Warr at Spire Hospital for the removal of a mole/skin tag in a very delicate area on my eyelid. The procedure was smooth and efficient and Mr.Warr and nurse Charon who was assisting on the day made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout.
