- I couldn’t recommend Mr Hester highly enough. Professional and clear with warmth and understanding. Felt completely prepared for my operation and recovery. Also his Secretary was excellent and helpful.
- You won’t get better than Tom. He is current, experienced and damn good at his job which lets the patient just focus on recovery. He has amazing support staff too which makes the process so easy - thank you Lucy - you are amazing.
- I had a great experience with Mr Hester. He's very patient and explained the surgery in great detail, and has been very caring throughout the whole process. Very happy with the outcome of surgery.
- Very happy with the treatment I received from Mr Hester. The operation has been a success and the experience was seamless.
- My experience with Mr Hester has been a pleasure from my initial consultation to post surgery. The outcome of my bilateral bunion and toe shortening surgery is testament to the skill and expertise of Mr Hester. I experienced little pain post surgery and scarring is at a minimum.
- Wonderful surgeon, very transparent and generous giving patients time and needed advice. Very pragmatic setting realistic expectations and achievable plan.
- Dr Hester provided excellent levels of care throughout my recent foot procedure. His kind demeanour and thoughtful explanations of the process were calming and he was also contactable out of hours when needed. The procedure also went smoothly. I would highly recommend.
