- Very friendly, and obviously very knowledgeable in his field.
- So grateful for a fantastic result following septorhinoplasty after damage to my nose. I immediately felt at ease with Mr Chummun and confident with the planned surgery; the procedure, recovery and outcome were clearly explained . Excellent level of care at the Nuffield.
- Dr Chummun did a great job of my rhinoplasty and I’m so pleased with the results three months on. Highly professional and made me feel at ease during every stage. I had some issues with the hospital’s communication which were completely out of his control but cannot fault him!
- Excellent surgeon. Exactly what I asked for, very precise, so happy with the results. Thank you
- Procedure was very well explained and conducted would highly recommend
- I had breast reduction surgery performed by Mr Chummun in March this year and it was the best decision I’ve ever made! Mr Chummun clearly explained the operation, listened to what I wanted and provided support throughout the whole process. I am over the moon with the results!
- I would absolutely recommend Mr Chummun to those looking for a rhinoplasty/septoplasty or a revision. He is patient, kind, and ensures you feel comfortable and confident with the surgery. I am very happy with the results Mr Chummun achieved with my revision surgery.
- I had a cleft septorhinoplasty. I am over the moon with the results already. My breathing has instantly improved and I am no longer blocked. My chumman has exceeded my expectations. He is amazing at his job and I am so glad I found his work. Thank you
- I had a Tummy Tuck at the end of last year and a breast reduction on the 5th April this year. I'm absolutely thrilled with the results of both procedures. I would go as far to say that it has changed my life completely as I now fit back into all my clothes and they are even loose. I've also got my confidence back. I first came across St Joseph's hospitals when I was researching tummy and breast reductions. I came across Mr Chummun's details and then researched him on the internet realising he was very much qualified and had a wealth of experience in many different fields of surgery in the NHS and also in the private sector. I then made an appointment to see him regarding, initially having a tummy tuck. Mr Chummun was really warm, kind and went through everything about the procedure, also asking why I felt I wanted to have a tummy tuck. I explained that I had always been small but had been going through the menopause and this had affected my body shape and no amount of diet and exercise would shift the weight I had been putting on. If anything, my breasts and stomach seemed to be getting bigger which I found quite distressing and it also affected my Mental Health and couldn't even look at myself in the mirror. As already mentioned, I had my tummy tuck at the end of ast year, I was very nervous about having such surgery but went ahead with it. I can only say that it was the best decision I had ever made, I don't look like the same person and now fit into all my clothing, with most being too big now. Ater surgery for my tummy tuck, I decided to go ahead with a breast reduction which I had on 5th April this year. Again, the service was excellent and the results of my reduction are fantastic. My breasts were very big, and drooped above my belly button and my nipples looked like saucers. I had stipulated that I wanted to go to a size B which Mr Chummun made sure I wanted to go this small but I insisted this was what I would like. Again, I am so thrilled with the results, I feel normal again and with the tummy tuck last year I couldn't be happier with the results. The staff are totally amazing from start to finish, there is no hard sell and everything is explained in detail, making sure you are having surgery for the right reason, along with he pros but the cons. I would recommend Mr Chummun very highly if you were thinking about having cosmetic procedures and St Joseph's hospital.
