Great rhinoplasty surgeon. I had been saving up to have a nose job and decided to go with Dr Hodgkinson. He was recommended by a friend who also had her nose done by him and was really happy and I liked the way it turned out for her. I would definitely recommend him too.

Dr Hodgkinson is a very talented and caring surgeon and his staff are pretty fabulous too. I recently had a facelift and they were all there cheering for me and with me every step of the way. Thank you to the whole clinic for making what I thought was going to be a pretty scary experience into a positive adventure.

I saw Dr Hodgkinson 18years ago or so and knew it was the right decision coming back to him for my next visit. I found his communication in knowing exactly what I wanted calmed my nerves and the end result is so perfect for me I find I keep wanting to look at his workmanship!!! I can't thank his lovely staff for always making me feel so welcome and at ease, you can see how well they all gel together,, it radiates throughout for such a big group of staff! I know in the future should I be needing any other 'touch ups' there will only be one place I'll be visiting and recommending to anyone....Thanks again so much Darryl and team for the five star treatment and making me me feel and look a better version of my old self xx

I and my family have been to Dr Hodgkinson for everything from a facelift to skin cancer & mole removal over the years. We have total confidence in him and his team. We wouldn't go anywhere else for plastic surgery.

A repeat customer, he changed my life, twice! I just had breast reduction surgery done 6 months ago. I have had F cup breasts since I was 15, now I fit a great double D. My self confidence has changed, I can wear whatever I want and most importantly no more back pain! I recently went to the US and went into Victoria's Secret to buy new bras and I broke down crying from happiness as every single bra I tried on fitted great, something I have never had! Bra shopping used to be a painful excersise, now I walked away with 10 new bras and the biggest smile on my face. Dr Darryl and his team are amazing!

I recently had a facelift with Dr Hodgkinson. I am seven weeks post op now and I have already received few compliments on my refreshed and healthy look.
Dr Hodgkinson and his team were an absolute dream throughout the whole experience. The facility is well run and immaculate.
I would have no doubts in recommending Dr Hodgkinson and his staff to anyone.

I had my nose done about a year ago. My nose was pretty twisted and didn't work very well either as I had played a lot of contact sports when I was young and took more than a few hits to my head and face. I wasn't too keen on surgery and thought that plastic surgery was something more for women but my wife had had some surgery done by Dr Hodgkinson and she convinced me to have a chat with him. I booked in that day as I thought I'd chicken out otherwise. I had the surgery a few weeks later and had a lot of support from the nurses and my wife. I had a splint on for a about a week so I worked from home. I was surprised that almost immediately I could breathe better than I had in years. I have to admit I was pretty chuffed too to have a straight nose again. I don't think I'll be having more plastic surgery in the future (unless I break my nose again) but it was as good an experience as it could have been with a great outcome.

I had a large basal cell carcinoma on my face that Dr Hodgkinson removed last year. He did Pathology at the same time as surgery which he explained to me was to make sure he got all the cancer out, He reconstructed my cheek with a flap and now just over twelve months on when I went in for my one year review you can hardly see a scar. I am really happy as I was scared I'd spend the rest of my life with a giant scar or skin graft on the side of my head. I am so glad that I can put this behind me now and swear that I'll always wear a hat and put on sun cream from now on.

I first came and saw Dr Hodgkinson 22 years ago. I didn't end up going ahead with that procedure for personal reasons.

After all these years, I found Darryl again through his website as I needed liposuction and a breast reduction due to excess weight after having a fall and ended up with fibromyalgia. Since the surgery all my symptoms have disappeared.

This week I went to see my GP and he was amazed at my recovery.

The whole procedure from start to finish has been smooth, precise and the best money I have ever spent. The staff have been welcoming, caring and non judgemental the whole time. I couldn't be happier!
