Everyone in Cosmedicare could not have been nicer! My journey has been so smooth from start to finish and they are always a call away to help with any questions. Highly recommend!

I had surgery in 2019 and 2020 with cosmedicare with another surgery booked on for December 2021. They are all the nicest people you will ever meet. The surgeons were very informative and kept me calm and confident in their work. (amazing results by the way) I couldn’t recommend them enough. The are walking angels. Keep up the great work. What your doing is amazing and I thank you all so much

I had a breast reduction/uplift and nipple correction with Dr Dan Widdowson 5th May. From the very first enquiry I was absolutely delighted with my treatment. The first call I made the lady on the phone made sure I was 100% certain that it was what I wanted, she asked me to join their Facebook group and ask questions about the surgery and surgeons before I was booking my consultation. My consultation was an absolute breeze, the ladies were just the most kind, compassionate, welcoming people I’ve ever come across. Dan was also incredible. Gill sat me down afterwards and discussed dates etc for my surgery and we got it booked. Leading up to the surgery the support of the Facebook group and the staff were incredible. Before my surgery was amazing, I went in at 7am, introduced to all the staff who would be in the surgery with me which can I add they were all amazing. I went in trembling and the staff put me so at ease, I woke up feeling brilliant, well looked after. Amazing cup of tea and was picked up at 2pm. I love the fact you go for surgery and wake up with familiar faces and from the start to finish it’s the same nurses and surgeon. It was the best experience of my life! The staff, the company, the surgeon everybody was amazing. Would recommend cosmedicare to absolutely everyone!!

ORIGINAL REVIEW I made enquiries with Cosmedicare regarding an abdominoplasty and reduction mammaplasty at Kingspark Hospital in Stirling and was given a date of 1 June as my telephone consultation with the surgeon. The confirmation email gave the date as Tuesday 1 May which (1) was in the past and (2) is not a Tuesday. I correctly assumed they meant Tuesday 1 June and my consultation went ahead. On 9 June I received a phone call from Cosmedicare informing me that on no account was Kingspark available for operations and I would have to wait on their new hospital opening, probably in August. I was then offered 6 August as my face to face consultation with my surgeon. After voicing my displeasure at the delay (I had cancelled a consultation with Spire Healthcare in favour of Cosmedicare as Kingspark was nearer to me) I was offered Saturday 19 June at 1.00pm which I accepted. I phoned Cosmedicare on Thursday 17 June as I hadn't received any correspondence re my appointment and was told there was no record of my appointment or of anyone having called me on the 9th June. After, once again, voicing my displeasure I was given 2.00pm on 19 June as an appointment for my face to face. By now alarm bells were ringing loud and clear that this wasn't a company I wished to trust with my surgery however I decided to go through with my appointment and was looking forward to meeting Gill who I had been told would be there and would be with me every step of the way. As I was leaving the house I received a phone call from Cosmedicare to say I could come early as they had had a cancellation for the 1.00pm appointment. The appointment that I had originally been given but they had no trace of! I had a great consultation with my surgeon but, surprise surprise, no show from Gill. I also didn't receive a copy of the 3D scan I was promised. I was told, however, that Gill would phone with a price and suitable date. It goes without saying I never heard from Gill. I received an email with the price and another telling me that on no account could the surgery be performed at Kingspark. The new hospital will be open by July and I'll have it there. Well it is now September. I still haven't heard from the elusive Gill and the hospital still isn't open. I have had my surgery however. I went with the same surgeon as I had every faith in him but chose to go with Spire Healthcare. If you value your body so will you. TO REPLY TO COSMEDICARE RESPONSE- 1) I have not made a new account. This is the same account I have been using for over 15 years. 2) If Gill (I presume Gill wrote the response as she has signed it but has referred to herself in the 3rd person throughout) had contacted me when promised we may have resolved any issues and this review would have been unnecessary, but she never did. 3) Leaving a negative review does not make me an unhappy person. Gill (you) should take as much notice of the negative reviews as she (you) do the good ones. If anything I have said in the review is inaccurate then of course Gill (you) should address this. 4) I am aware that my consultation with Cosmedicare was free. There was no need to print it in capital letters. You are also correct that I had to pay for my consultations with Spire. The final bill was still less than my quote from Cosmedicare, however, this was not the point of my review. 5) I do not dislike Gill (you) as I have never spoken to her (you) to allow me to form such an opinion. My review is not based on opinion, it is 100% factual. It is up to the person reading the review to form an opinion. I think your response to it will have cost you more custom than the review itself. 6) Please check all correspondence and you will see that the fact that Kingspark Hospital wasn't available was not mentioned until the conversation I mentioned in my review. 7) I have no idea how busy Spire Healthcare is. The fact is that I have had my operation with them is because they have the premises to carry out such a procedure and you do not. 8) My review is not anonymous as you were able to identify me immediately. I have not put my full name to it because the procedure I have had is of a private nature. 9) I receive the email with Cosmedicare's quote but did not receive the 3D image although, according to Gill (you) these were both sent to the same email address and, presumably, on the same date as they followed my consultation. 10) No one stayed behind to facilitate my appointment. Cosmedicare messed up the appointments. I attended when requested.

I had breast uplift and augmentation on 10th August with Mr Neil Cahoon and I am absolutely delighted with the result. I consulted a few different surgeons/clinics but as soon as I met with Mr Cahoon I knew this was who I wanted to perform my surgery. Everyone at Cosmedicare is so friendly, professional and approachable. Massive thanks to Mr Cahoon and my anaesthetist Dr Hart, all theatre staff and my recovery staff Dot and Angela. Special thanks to Gill who, despite being the owner of the business and being exceptionally busy, always takes the time to interact with Cosmedicare's patients and answer any questions. Highly recommended.

I recently went though a cosmetic procedure with cosmedicare and cannot thank the team enough. I am honestly blown away by the entire process. Right from the very beginning from initial enquiry to procedure day and beyond I have been looked after, given all the information I could ask for, kept up to date at every stage and just cared for. The staff are kind yet professional and have a 'no question is a silly question' approach which is appreciated. If you were ever looking to get a procedure done no matter how big or small I couldn't recommend cosmedicare enough. Excellent service all round.

I got recommended by a friend to use cosmedicare for my tummy tuck. She had used them for breast lift and implants. Gill and her were team under a lot of pressure due to Covid with surgery dates not being available at kingspark as you can imagine at lot of ladies wanting procedures done now!! it's a woman thing lol. I was desperate for my procedure due to getting married next year and not being allowed to take annual leave at certain times of the year so was in a complete panic. Gill jumped through major hoops to make this happen for me.. and that she did. Mr Widdowson my surgeon was amazing very professional talked me through the whole procedure not leaving any stones unturned. omg what a job he done on my tummy. I would go as far as to say he's a miracle worker. The man has changed my life forever. on the day of my Surgery, Gill came in to see me and reassured i wouldn't regret it. I thought this was such a special personal touch. also consultant and anaesthetist come to my private room on the day and talked me through the full procedure which in turn made me fully at ease. Even the next day the anaesthetist popped his head in to ask if i was ok. I wasn't expecting this and was so overwhelmed and so appreciative by the way i was treated. 😀😀 I would also like to thank nurses at kingspark were so attentive and made my stay so comfortable. on a closing note. i would highly recommended getting your cosmetics procedure through cosmedicare. very professional and they have that personal touch which goes a long way. They are that good i'm going back for more work😍 5 stars all the way.

I have just had a tummy tuck and it’s the best thing I have ever done. Cosmedicare has changed my life. It’s been an amazing experience start to finish. Great communication everything was so straight foward. Mr widdowson has changed my body and I’m over the moon with the results. Thankyou so much gill, mr widdowson and the whole team!

Approaching the age of 50 and hating my body for over 25 years I took the plunge and contacted Gill. Wanted a mummy make over but unfortunately was advised I couldn't due to the hours of surgery - many companies would just do this without patients health. So I started with a breast reduction and uplift - no more boobs reaching my belly button! Having had this the next op was my tummy - and again amazing results. I can't keep telling people this - life isn't for accepting growing old in your body it's loving you and cosmedicare gave me my confidence back. I also don't like Tena adverts why accept this ! Back for more surgery for me ❤️

My experience with Cosmedicare has been absolutely amazing from that first meeting with Gabriella where she put all my fears(mostly my mums fears) and turned them into excitement... After loosing 5 stone and keeping it off for 2 years I wanted to get my TT for me (present for me from me) to during my procedure where my surgeon Mr Widdowson worked his magic to the aftercare.... and all I can say is WOW these guys don’t stop.... if I had a worry day or night someone was on hand to offer help and support to me.... I’m due to go in to have a small revision next month and can’t wait... GILL AND HER TEAM ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.... Thank you just never seems enough 💖 Ps saving pennies for my next procedure 🥰

I have experienced Cosmedicare first hand. All I can say is what a fantastic experience. My surgery was a complicated one, which very easily could have been declined. The surgeon ( Mr Widowson) went out of his way to Helen as much information as he could before going ahead with my procedure. I had constant support from Gill which was exceptional. I had complete trust on the day of my surgery. The procedure went off without a hitch and my recovery was fast and uncomplicated. I would absolutely recommend. 100% fantastic experience start to finish. Please don’t let the negative review sway your decision. Experience the exceptional service & first class surgeons for yourself.

I’m never one to leave reviews but Gill and her Cosmedicare team deserve to be recognised as being nothing short of FANTASTIC. After my twins I knew a TT was going to be my only option to feel myself again and I knew Cosmedicare was the place to go. I knew already that I wanted Mr Anderson as My surgeon and was delighted when I realised he was with Cosmedicare. Gill arranged my consultation so quickly from my first email and from the moment I booked my surgery herself and Gabriella communicated with me on a regular basis. when Gill had to make the difficult phone calls to postpone my op due to covid I knew she felt genuinely upset that this was happening. I was thrilled to finally get a date for my op (16th may 2021) Mr Anderson and the rest of the team were amazing with me and I’m so happy with the results and the aftercare I’ve received. I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else

Got a reduction and uplift in 2019 and even till this day the aftercare has been amazing! My face to face consultation could not have gone smoother and I received my quote not even 2 days later, which was the best price I had received after 2 years of searching! The hospital staff and Mr Widdowson were amazing at calming my nerves and answering any questions I had. I booked in February for May 1st even though there were earlier dates available. Could not have gone better. Cannot recommend Cosmedicare, Gill and her team enough. Contemplating a tummy tuck in a few years and already know I wouldn’t ever go anywhere else.

Cosmedicare were the first and only company I went to for a consultation and I immediately felt in safe hands as everyone was so friendly and welcoming so I didn’t feel the need to look elsewhere. My surgeon talked me through what was involved and how I may look after the operation. Gill and Gabriella managed to get me in for my op on a date that would suit my work which was a huge relief and they were both on the other end of a phone should I have any queries. On the day of surgery I was instantly put at ease when I saw my surgeon and absolutely delighted when I came round and had a peak at my results. Gabriella even text that day to make sure everything went well and I was happy which I thought was a was a nice touch. Everyday I am thankful to this company for changing my life with the results I got, I never thought I would feel confident in myself and my appearance again. Thankyou all

As a former lawyer, and a now medical professional I am probably a cosmetic surgery company’s worst nightmare .I am very fussy, especially in so far as matters of informed consent and professionalism are concerned. I found Cosmedicare to be outstanding in every way! Professional. Realistic and helpful. Surgeons are of the highest standard. I’ve had two procedures with this company and wouldn’t fail to recommend them. Both Dan Widdowson and Will Anderson were exceptional. Despite very challenging times with hospitals needing space for nhs patients because of Covid , Gill and her team have coped admirably in light of very tight regulations. They have really worked to ensure as many surgeries as possible could go ahead ( including my own) , despite circumstances out with their control at times. I’ll absolutely use them in the future and as a business owner I am happy to not only recommend my clients to cosmedicare, but I see their results when they come back to see me and I can honestly say every one of them have been delighted. Five stars all round from me

Edit: I used to live in Canada and hadn't updated the location of my profile. Gill knows who I am and the blatant lies denying everything says it all. Funny how after my review was posted, there were all of a sudden a flurry of new positive reviews in the last 12 hrs (some posted at the exact same time and some that only have 1 review to their name and no history of other reviews)--whereas there had only been 7 reviews posted in the last 4 years before she responded to my review. Yes, I use my account to leave reviews to warn others of my experience, that's what these sites are for? What's damaging for your business is your unprofessional and dishonest attitude. You used the same excuse that it's a fake review to respond to the negative review on FB and now you have resorted to posting fake positive reviews. Original: Attended for a consultation with Mr Widdowson. I had no issues with the consultation. The company, however, is unprofessional and seriously lacks good customer care. Gill reassured me she would email me the following day with details on getting a test done before surgery, some other information she needed to discuss with the anaesthetist, and details on how to view before and after images. I received no email. A week passed and still nothing. I called to chase up a week later to be told by staff that Gill or the staff member would DEFINITELY call me back that day. Did not receive that call (as expected). I waited another week and called again. Met with the same BS response and false promises that someone would call me back that night as well as feigning surprise that no one had been in touch. Again no one contacted me. It's now been a few weeks since my consultation and no one has bothered to contact me. In hindsight, there were a few warning signs but I had decided to give the company a shot. 1) There are reviews on FB that state the aftercare is non-existent for complications and if they botch surgery they ignore you. 2) My consultation was booked for Glasgow a month in advance. No one called to confirm leading up to it. I sent an email to check it was all still ok since I never received any confirmation email/text/call--I got no response to my email. On the day I called only to be told that I'd need to come to Edinburgh for the consultation. 3) After my consultation with Mr Widdowson, I had a brief chat with Gill. She recommended two specialists to have further tests (imaging) done at Ross Hall first, only to find out by Ross Hall she actually gave me the name of unrelated individuals. She was so adamant in their skill. 4) During the brief meeting with Gill, she briefly mistook me for a different patient and was being very apologetic. When I explained that wasn't me, she made a negative remark about that patient she mistook me for. I found this unprofessional and it displayed that she isn't a genuine person and she was merely being fake to this other patient when thinking it was me. 5) I asked for before and after pics and they try to mislead you and tell you that they don't have the rights to publish photos on the website as it's not possible to get consent. Any other cosmetic site I've seen doesn't have an issue posting before and after pics and getting consent to do so. Instead you have to join a FB group, where the images are edited so that they don't violate FB guidelines. So depending on the surgery you're having, you can't even see the images properly because they've been edited. You have to ask if anyone is willing to share unedited images, which is ridiculous and probably comes across as creepy. Recently, there was an issue where someone outed someone else's surgery publicly outside the FB group. Defeats the purpose of privacy that they claim with this so not private group rather posting anonymous images on the website. There should be no issue with a company in this business being transparent with before and after pics. It's just as well it's a free consultation, it's not worth paying for it. Seems like a cowboy company.

I am now 4 weeks post op after my breast augmentation at cosmedicare with Dr.Anderson. I could not be more pleased with my whole experience from start to finish. I was made to feel so comfortable at my consultation and really felt like Dr.Anderson and Gill listened to what I was hoping to achieve. The day of surgery I thought I would of been really anxious but the whole team were so friendly and calm it really didn't feel like I was about to go and have a surgery! I was quite nervous about going under as I had never had an operation before but the anesthetist could not of been nicer, he explained everything to me and I knew I was in very experienced hands with him. I was home within a few hours after surgery and honestly felt no pain during recovery more just a bit uncomfortable for the first few days. I stopped taking any pain medication on the second day. I'm so happy with how my new boobs look very natural but full, exactly what I wanted! My scars are tiny and very well stitched (one of the scars is straight through a tattoo and you would not even know that its been cut through). For reference I am 27, 5ft 3 and petite and I went for 330 cc round implant and it is perfect for my figure. Thankyou to all the wonderful team at cosmedicare!

I had rhinoplasty last year with Cosmedicare. Was very excited as I have waited years to beable to have the opportunity to have this surgery, something that's bothered me my whole life. I had the procedure done and my problem didnt improve much at all, and was also left with new insecurities about my nose. I explained to the surgeon I wasnt happy with the results and I was pretty much not entertained at all. The part that the surgeon messed up on (a dip in my nose), I was offered temporary filler to correct this. I wasnt happy about the temporary fix aspect but even at that, they didnt even follow through with the temporary fix and I haven't heard from them in almost a year. If anyone is in the same situation as me and having a procedure done to fix something that's bothered them forever, save your money and do some research, I wish I did..
