My experience with this department was fantastic, Ross helped put me at ease at this difficult time, he explained the procedure and together with his team they were excellent, keeping me informed all the way, everything went smoothly, I am very pleased with the operation results, recovering well, awaiting radiotherapy route, it was also great to have a local clinic that I could attend additional appointments. I was made aware any issue in the future I can still contact them. I would like to thank them all once again for their hard work and dedication.
I cannot recommend Mr McLean highly enough. From the very first consultation, his communication was exceptional — clear, reassuring, honest, and compassionate throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything in detail, answered every question patiently, and made me feel completely informed and supported at every stage. Mr McLean’s guidance and professionalism immediately put me at ease, and I felt genuinely safe and confident in his care from start to finish. He has a calm and reassuring manner that made a huge difference during what could have been a very anxious experience. I truly felt I was in the best possible hands. The surgery itself exceeded all of my expectations, and the results are absolutely amazing. His skill, attention to detail, and dedication to achieving the best outcome are very evident. The care and support I received both before and after surgery were outstanding. I am incredibly grateful for the excellent treatment I received and would not hesitate to recommend Mr McLean to anyone considering breast surgery. He is an exceptional surgeon and I would confidently refer friends and family to him in the future
I don’t think there’s been anyone i haven’t told how lucky I have been to be looked after by Ross McLean, Emily and Laura. During a very difficult time, they have been there to assure & support and answer my 20 questions. I genuinely think they are the best team and I feel incredibly grateful for their care and attention and making sure my cancer has gone!!
Ross is a fabulous Dr he explained everything in detail and what he intended to happen in surgery. He has a wonderful bedside manner and makes you feel completely at ease. I cant thank him enough.
I found Mr McLean professional and caring. He was easy to talk to and listened to my concerns. He gave clear information that was understandable. I felt comfortable during the during the appointment.
Dr McLean was friendly and very professional. He explained in detail why I had been referred to him and what would happen next. He made me feel so at ease in a very worrying situation.
Absolutely nothing in my eyes that could be improved- outstanding care from initial diagnosis to last appointment- everything explained in timely, caring manner which helped.
I recently had a motiva preserve breast augmentation with Mr MrcLean. From the initial consultation to the after-care following surgery, nothing has been too much hassle. I instantly felt comfortable in Mr McLean’s care, time was taken to explain every aspect of the procedure and I was encouraged to go away and think about the surgery and whether I wanted to go ahead on multiple occasions. The results are better than I could have imagined and the recovery following the preserve technique has been unbelievably quick. I would recommend Mr McLean to anyone looking to have breast surgery.
I attended a consultation for breast reduction with Mr McLean and from start to finish the process has been excellent. I am very happy with my results and how well looked after I have felt throughout.
Mr McLean was incredibly informative, attentive, and kind throughout my experience. He took the time to really listen to what I wanted and offered invaluable knowledge and insight that made me feel confident and reassured every step of the way. His lovely, caring personality immediately put me at ease. Choosing to have surgery was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I couldn’t be happier with the results—they truly surpassed my expectations. I believe that is largely thanks to Mr McLean’s exceptional skill, expertise, and genuine care.
