- Professional from start to finish Straight to the point no messing around Did exactly what he said he would do A really good experience and would recommend Simon to anyone he was excellent !
- Absolutely fantastic from first consult through to final appointment 6 weeks later. Highly recommend Mr Heppell & the Adnova Clinic, they made me feel so comfortable from the very start.
- I underwent breast augmentation back in May 2024, from start to finish the team at Adnova looked after me amazingly. At my first appointment they were extremely welcoming, Mr Heppell himself was exceptional and highly informative. He is a true gentleman and instantly made me feel at ease and in safe hands. I completely trusted his expertise and his advice on sizing and what would look natural on my body shape. Surgery day was effortless, within a few hours I was returning home as a new woman. All the staff were so attentive and friendly it was a really peaceful experience. Since then I have recovered just perfectly, I couldn’t be happier with the results and it was genuinely the best decision I have ever made. I am so glad that I found Adnova. A huge thank you to my surgeon (Mr Heppell) for making me feel so happy and confident, you have really changed my life for the better.
- I am over the moon with my results of my bust reduction and I would 100% recommend Mr Simon Heppell and the clinic for any type of surgery. Thank you so much ☺️

- I had a Tummy Tuck in December 2023. My surgeon Simon Heppell was amazing. My results are fantastic. I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Mr Heppell.
- Mr Heppell took the time to listen to my concerns and wishes and reassure me with both. I came away from my consultations happy I had made a good choice with my surgeon. My results are beyond what I could imagine 3 months post op, and I can not thank Mr Heppell enough
