I recently had surgery here and I just want to thank all the staff for always treating me so well and being so kind. Special mention to Tia on reception and the rest of the reception/ telephone team, and also the nurses who were wonderful and caring Sumi and Sowinua. I really appreciate you all not just professionally, but also just how awesome you are to everyone that walks in (I usually came early so I got to see how kind they are to everyone coming in).Finally, most special thanks to my surgeon Mr. Shiatis who I can never thank enough. It’s my second time as his patient. He is not only an excellent surgeon who takes the time to explain things which is important to me, but also just the way he has always treated me professionally and personably as well. His expertise is so appreciated and I’m so glad that people like him exist to make our lives easier through surgery that some might say is elective, but can be life changing when the issues you are dealing with hamper the every day ordinary quality of life.

A Truly Professional and Comfortable Experience at Centre for SurgeryI recently had the pleasure of undergoing anti wrinkle treatment on April 17th with Dr. Shehab Jabir at Centre for Surgery, and I can confidently say that the experience exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, the process was seamless, professional, and comfortable, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.Upon arriving at the Centre for Surgery, I was immediately impressed by the modern, clean, and welcoming environment. The staff greeted me warmly and made sure I felt at ease, which I really appreciated. Dr. Jabir took the time to listen to my concerns and discuss my goals in detail. He was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly patient in explaining the procedure, the expected results, and any potential side effects. His expertise and approachability instantly put me at ease.The treatment itself was quick and painless. Dr. Jabir was incredibly skilled, and his precision made all the difference. He ensured that I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure, explaining each step as we went along. I was pleasantly surprised at how minimal the discomfort was, and any initial anxiety I had (cause I do not do great with any pain) quickly faded away. The treatment was over before I knew it, and I felt confident that I had been in good hands the entire time.Dr. Jabir provided me with clear aftercare instructions to ensure I got the best possible results and minimized any potential side effects. I followed the guidelines carefully, and I was happy to see gradual improvements in my appearance over the next few days. By the end of the first week, I noticed a significant reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, especially around my forehead and crow’s feet. The results were subtle yet noticeable—exactly what I was hoping for.What I particularly appreciated was the natural look of the treatment. There was no "frozen" expression; instead, my face looked refreshed and more youthful while still retaining its natural expressiveness. It was the perfect balance, and I felt more confident than ever.Overall, my treatment with Dr. Jabir at Centre for Surgery was an outstanding experience. The professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise displayed by Dr. Jabir and his team made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I’m extremely happy with the results and will definitely return for future treatments.If you're considering any anti ageing treatments, I highly recommend Centre for Surgery. The entire experience was top-notch, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results.

I recently had a breast re-augmentation at Centre for Surgery after discovering one of my implants had ruptured (just 5 years after placement) and I can honestly say the entire experience exceeded my expectations. I had looked at a few other clinics before deciding, but even from the first phone call with the treatment coordinator, I felt reassured and in safe hands. That initial warmth and professionalism made all the difference, and it continued throughout my journey!Dr. Tamsin Burgess was my surgeon, and she has been absolutely incredible—so caring, reassuring, and professional from start to finish. I felt truly looked after every step of the way. The surgery itself went smoothly, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Every visit to the clinic was met with a warm welcome, and the aftercare has been fantastic…I wish I had gone with them 5 years ago when I first had my breasts enlarged.Thank you to the entire team—the treatment coordinator Carolyn, reception staff, the lovely manager, nurses, and of course Dr. Burgess—for turning what was initially a daunting situation into such a positive and empowering experience. I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done for me! :)
