Dr Katie was excellent
Dr Katy was excellent. She is extremely professional. The procedure was explained fully including expectation of results and potential side effects ( of which there were none!).
I felt completely relaxed and felt no pain during the procedure.
The surroundings in the facility were perfect- welcoming and clean. Reception staff were also extremely pleasant and professional.
I’d highly recommend this facility for cosmetic procedures.

It's lovely to hear Dr Katy Nassar put you at ease and talked you through what to expect beforehand. We're glad the treatment itself was comfortable, and that both the setting and the warmth of our reception team left a good impression. Your recommendation means a great deal.

First class experience...delighted.
My experience at Waterfront was excellent. Every stage of the process was seamless and highly professional. The clinic itself is beautifully presented, and the staff were both professional and welcoming. Having my procedure completed on the same day was a significant advantage. I would not hesitate to recommend Waterfront and my surgeon, Mr Nassar.

Absolutely stunning facilities. Felt like a VIP walking into the buildings. Reception staff were very welcoming and attentative. Mr Quabib was very informative and clear regarding the pros & cons of my requests. Although I was not suitable for the procedure I wanted, the alternatives he offered were equally as good. in all aspects. The treatment he offered was very personalised and everything was explained clearly. I look forward to my appointment dates for treatments. Would absolutely recommend this team to future candidates.

Not the outcome I expected.
My experience with this surgeon was disappointing. After undergoing both upper and lower blepharoplasty, I was left with a significant indentation under one eye. I attempted to correct it with filler, but it did not resolve the issue enough to restore a normal contour. Despite raising my concerns, I did not receive adequate support, explanation, or a meaningful plan for correction. I am now looking elsewhere for corrective options. I would advise anyone considering this procedure to research thoroughly and ensure they choose a surgeon who provides comprehensive aftercare.

Thank you for such a considered review, Marjory. Knowing that you felt looked after and informed at every stage, from that first consultation right through to your six-month review, is exactly what we hope to achieve. Recovery can feel daunting, so it's good to hear the aftercare gave you confidence once you were home. Mr Awf Quaba and the wider team would be glad to welcome you back should you choose to return in future.

Highly recommended
I was very nervous about getting a mole removed but Dr. Alridge and the nurse (I'm afraid I didn't catch her name) were so calm and professional and helped put me at ease. The procedure was simple and straightforward and nowhere near as bad as I imagined. Lovely welcome from all the staff generally. Would recommend this hospital.

Thank you for the kind recommendation. It's completely natural to feel apprehensive about a procedure like this, so we're pleased Dr Aldridge and the nurse looking after you (Morag) helped take the worry out of it and that everything proved more manageable than you'd feared. We'll be sure to pass on your thanks to the team. Wishing you well.
