Mr Kelvin Ramsey, Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon

Personal treatment philosophy:

"When considering any surgery, it is crucial for every patient to consider the merits and skills of his / her potential surgeon. It is equally crucial for the surgeon to assess each case according to their individual circumstances. An open, honest and relaxed consultation is the key to this, in addition to the combination of communication skills and surgical expertise."
