I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience with Mr James Wokes. From my very first consultation, he made me feel completely at ease — he took the time to listen, explained everything clearly, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. The surgery itself went incredibly smoothly, and the results are absolutely amazing — even better than I had hoped for. What really stood out to me, though, was the aftercare. It was truly brilliant. I felt fully supported throughout the entire recovery process, and any questions or concerns I had were always handled quickly and professionally.
I cannot recommend Mr James Wokes highly enough. I decided to have my breast implants removed and a breast uplift after losing a huge amount of weight. From my very first consultation, he was professional, approachable, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to really listen to what I wanted and explained everything clearly, making sure I had realistic expectations and felt completely comfortable with my decision. His calm and reassuring manner made a huge difference, especially as I was quite nervous going into surgery. On the day, everything was handled with such professionalism, and I felt I was in very safe hands. The care I have received throughout, including after surgery, has been incredible. I’ve never felt like ‘just another patient.’ Mr wokes is not only an exceptionally talented surgeon, but also a genuinely kind and compassionate person. Thank you 😊
I’ve been a patient of James for 10 years, he provides a truly exceptional service. He’s warm and welcoming, takes the time to give expert guidance and makes me feel completely at ease in the clinic. The results are consistently natural and subtle. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
Professional and top class surgeon. Wouldn't want anyone else.
Recently had a breast lift and reduction by Mr Wokes. I was extremely nervous as I never had surgery previously, he made sure to put me at ease by being very knowledgable and compassionate about his work. He made the entire process a lot less scary and so grateful for the results and confidence he has gave me.
I chose Dr Wokes for my surgery as from my very first consultation back in around 2023 he was extremely professional. He always explained everything fully in regards to my operation. My whole experience with Dr Wokes was great! And I am absolutely over the moon with my results :)
I’m over the moon with my results ! The best thing I’ve ever done after being conscious of something since my teens. Mr Wokes guided me all the way and his aftercare went above and beyond, I have and will continue to recommend him.
My overall experience with Dr Wokes was excellent. There was clear communication from start to finish. As, someone who had multiple additional questions throughout the process, I could trust that Dr. Wokes would prioritise any questions with great care and understanding. I received Great support during and after the procedure and I am so happy with the results!
I’m now three months post-op following my implant removal and breast uplift, and I’m really pleased with my experience and results. I felt well-informed and supported throughout, with everything explained clearly given it was a complex procedure. My recovery was surprisingly painless, which made a big difference, and any questions I had were answered quickly by Mr Wokes who was very reassuring. The outcome looks natural and feels much more like me—thank you for your care and professionalism throughout.
Excellent care from start to finish. The surgeon was professional, reassuring, and highly skilled—everything was explained clearly and I felt completely at ease. The results have been fantastic. Couldn’t recommend more highly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
James is an excellent surgeon and an excellent colleague who gets first class results by having a patient centred care approach to all his patients.
