Words from our clients:
"Mr. Atherton is an amazing surgeon. He took the time to explain everything during the consultation and was realistic about the outcomes. On surgery day, he made me feel at ease, and I had minimal pain afterward. The care at Cadogan Clinic was excellent, and I appreciated having easy access to Mr. Atherton for any post-op concerns. Highly recommend!"Cadogan Clinic Patient
"Everything from the initial consultation to the day of surgery was smooth and most importantly reassuring. The op itself went brilliantly and I am so happy with the care since and the results. I'd recommend the clinic and Dr Atherton to others and would have no hesitation in returning myself should the need ever arise."Cadogan Clinic Patient
"Mr Atherton did an amazing job. My nose is exactly how he had shown me previously on photos and exactly how I would like. I suffered no pain, little bruising and after 6 weeks I can't see my scar. He is very professional but also personable. I recommend 100%."Cadogan Clinic Patient
"My experience with Mr. Atherton at Cadogan Clinic was fantastic. I felt supported at every stage, from my consultation to post-op appointments. Special thanks to Shima, my patient adviser, who answered all my questions with patience and kindness. I’m so grateful for the calm, positive experience and highly recommend rhinoplasty with Mr. Atherton!"Cadogan Clinic Patient
"My experience at Cadogan Clinic was fantastic. Mr. Duncan Atherton is one of the best nose surgeons, and after consulting with others, I’m so glad I chose him. The surgery was flawless, and the team, including the anesthesiologist and nurses, were amazing. Nearly a year later, my nose looks better than I imagined. Highly recommend!"Cadogan Clinic Patient
"The clinic staff and my surgeon, Mr. Duncan Atherton, were incredibly professional and kind. He listened carefully to my needs and made sure I was comfortable throughout. Despite some unexpected challenges, including Covid and a post-op injury, they handled everything with great care. I’m so glad I chose them and highly recommend their services!"Cadogan Clinic Patient
