I went to Mr Woollard after making the big mistake of having a breast augmentation with a cosmetic surgeon. He did my breast explanation surgery. He was very kind, caring and answered all my questions. He was very down to earth. I got wonderful results and couldn’t be happier now. I couldn’t recommend Mr Woolard enough

I cannot forget the incredible sense of confidence he passed onto me the early morning of my 8h surgery to follow. After which he has looked after me with extreme care, commitment and dedication. I will be grateful for his no doubt extraordinary role in my recovery for the rest of my life. He is an excellent plastic surgeon!
I’m over the moon with what they have done and they’ve given me my mobility back.....very happy patient indeed
I am so fortunate that I was referred to such an amazing surgeon as Mr Woollard. He has helped me no end and really listens to everything I tell him. From there he is able to decipher exactly what is going on as I am an amputee that has a few nerve ending complications. He has also performed TMR etc on some neuromas. I come away from my appointments with Alex feeling confident and to me this is most important. He is always contactable through his office. Thanks Alex.

Dr Alex Woollard is an excellent doctor who is warm, kind and caring. He explained clearly and patiently the operation. The operation went well and I would highly recommend Alex to anyone who needs a doctor that they can trust.

I had an abdominoplasty with muscles repair in October with Mr Woollard. Alex has always shown excellent patient manners, along with a nice and kind approach that inspires confidence . He was also clear and always replied in detail to all my questions and doubts. I am very happy with the result, my tummy is flat, the scar is there but is fine and neat. Thanks Alex

Mr. Woollard, I wrote this poem just for you:
Doctors are guardian angels,
Incarnations of all the goodness on earth to cure people.
Your tireless energy and positive countenance,
Like a beacon to a sinking ship bring joy in abundance.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart,
You are the best! A class apart!
Words are too small to acknowledge your humanity and professional magnitude,
To have you as my doctor I feel blessed with eternal gratitude.

With wishes for your continued success and all the best,

I want to say a huge thank you to you, for providing me with outstanding care. You have treated me (including all hospital staff from Catering to Nurses) with the utmost respect. Alex, you were so thorough and took so much time to ensure that our plan and our schedule is defined and absolutely clear going forward.
Alex, separately, you are quite simply a Gentleman (I speak in a professional capacity of course). Thank you for overseeing the procedure today end to end.
Essay over, just truly wanted to express my gratitude on all counts too all Parties.
Best wishes and kind regards,

Mr. Woollard and his secretary Gillian keep their word and are always quick to action communications and queries which makes a big difference to patients who are already stressed enough with health issues. I feel truly grateful and would definitely recommend his care to anyone.

I would like to thank Mr Woollard for his skill and professionalism, and also Gillian Rolfe, the Practive Manager, who was helpful in keeping in close touch regarding appointments. I am grateful to have had such a kind and caring approach throughout.

A great job from Mr Woollard, who was clear, kind and authoritative during preparation, post-operation and recovery.

I was felt as if I was in very safe hands: the somewhat complex pre-op process was made to feel straightforward; the operation was a complete success; my recovery was easier than I expected and now, a few weeks later, I’m moreless healed, with a very neat scar, which I imagine will fade to moreless nothing.

In short: the best possible outcome to a nasty and debilitating problem. Thanks!

Having, for many months, seemingly being passed from one medical expert to another I finally met Mr Alex Woollard and, all of a sudden, things started to happen. I can’t thank Mr Woollard and his wonderful team - especially Gillian his secretary, for the outstanding care and attention they have given me.

From the first day I met Mr Woollard, I found him not only to be a true professional at the top of his game but, at the same time, caring, polite and significantly well respected and liked by all of those who cared for me during my convalescence in hospital and as an outpatient. His sense of humour also helped to provide a breath of fresh air throughout the process.

I was completely confident that I was in the best of hands - which has turned out completely to be the case. I cannot recommend Mr Woollard and his team highly enough.

Mr Woollard is kind, caring and an excellent surgeon. He has always listened to me and made me feel that no question was too insignificant. I have been treated very well and trust him completely with the next stage of my treatment.

I had a therapeutic mammoplasty followed by a reconstruction with existing Breast tissue. Mr Woollard conducted the reconstruction brilliantly.

I saw Mr Woollard today for a check up following my double mastectomy and reconstruction in June and I am very pleased with how good my new breasts look.

Dr Woollard has been truly amazing through my whole surgery experience. He’s professional, attentive and extremely knowledgeable within his field. I felt valued, and listening to, and I knew I was in expert hands in every stage of my surgery. I’ve had a challenging couple of years after being diagnosed with Breast Cancer and felt the care I received in the final stage of of journey has motivated me to ‘get back to living life’ in a positive way.
Can’t thank Mr Woollard enough!

Dr Woollard is an excellent plastic surgeon, incredibly knowledgeable in his field of practice and with extraordinary interpersonal skills, very empathic and inspiring lots of confidence. He has grown from being only my surgeon into a good friend. I met Dr. Woollard in the instance of breast cancer, so far the most difficult time in my life. I was so incredibly lucky to have him as one of the principal surgeons in my mastectomy and reconstruction surgery. I cannot forget the incredible sense of confidence he passed onto me the early morning of my 8h surgery to follow. After which he has looked after me with extreme care, commitment and dedication. I will be grateful for his no doubt extraordinary role in my recovery for the rest of my life. He is an excellent plastic surgeon!

I am extremely grateful to have had Dr Woollard as my breast enlargement surgeon recently. I had surgery one month ago and could not be happier with the result. The outcome is everything I had hoped for and more. The process and care from initial consultation through to my recent post op check up has been excellent. Highly recommended!

I am now the proud owner of a great pair of size C breasts which are really well balanced and it’s no exaggeration to say that this has changed my life, both psychologically and physically. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I was confident deciding to have my breast reduction with Mr Alex Woollard. He listened carefully to all my questions, expectations and fears; and made sure I fully understand the procedure and its consequences. It was clear to me he puts my health first so I felt safe making my decision. On the day of the surgery his friendly and relaxed manner helped me to de-stress. Though it’s not possible to fully predict the result of the surgery; I must say all went exactly the way I wanted and I am very happy with it. I would definitely recommend Mr Woolard to anyone considering having breast surgery.

Mr Woolllard explained clearly the surgical options and possible outcomes. During the procedure, performed under local anaesthetic, he remained cheerfully calm and efficient. The outcome of the operation surpassed expectations and his surgical skill is of a very high order. He has inspired trust throughout and is a pleasure to have met. Although other options are available, I have elected to stay under Mr Woollard’s care for the foreseeable future.

Mr Woollard performed a breast reduction and abdominoplasty surgeries. I’m blown away by the results!
He answered all my crazy questions both before and after surgery. He has given me my confidence back at a time in my life when I desperately need it and for that I am so grateful!

Mr Alex Woollard conducted an Apronectomy on me. I really want to express my deepest gratitude for his excellent work.It’s not even 2 weeks and already I can see the results finally I can see my stomach muscles and it has changed the whole way I feel about my body, I don’t care if the scar never goes away the improvement on the excess skin I had is 100% better even with a scar. I look in the mirror and I cry tears of joy as it’s exactly what I had imagined. I had worked hard to lose 7.5 stone and felt like the only thing holding me back from achieving the body I always wanted was the excess skin on my stomach and now it’s gone I feel I can move forward and appreciate all the hard work I put in to losing weight and the final piece of that puzzle was from the excellent work of Mr Woollard and I will be eternally grateful to him and his colleagues that assisted in the surgery so big thank you.
