I have been on quite a journey with Dr James McDiarmid over the last ten years. I saw him from working in a private hospital to now his own facilities at Wood Medi-spa Okehampton. He is by a long shot the most attentive, professional and skilled surgeon I’ve ever met. The care you’re given under his care is 5 star and worth every penny the surgery costs. I couldn’t trust another surgeon like I do dr McDiarmid. He’s performed rhinoplasty, abdominal plasty and breast augmentation

Breast Augmentation at WoodMedispa
I recently underwent breast Augmentation surgery at wood MediSpa on the 1st April. The whole experience was absolutely amazing, James and his team are miracle workers, couldn’t fault them and the spa. The nurses felt like family and made sure I had everything I needed. I’m so ecstatic with my results.

Over the Moon. He has far surpassed my expectations
James is incredible. Lots of people told me to go to a rhinoplasty/facial specialist, but I couldn’t be any happier with my results from James. He really listens but is also so realistic and wants to give you a result which is balanced with your individual proportions and features. You instantly feel calm in his hands, he clearly is so experienced and has a really lovely way with him. I had my cast removed today, and I am already so over the moon, he has far surpassed my expectations.

Best Decision I Ever Made Wish I’d Done It Sooner
I had the best experience with my rhinoplasty, I had wanted it done since I was 18 (now 37) and had even been for a consultation previously in Liverpool with a different surgeon but I just wasn’t ready after meeting the surgeon. Shortly after I met with Dr James McDiarmid I booked in for surgery On 15th jan 2020 at the Nuffield in Plymouth. The morning Of the surgery I was a little nervous but the staff at the hospital couldn’t have been nicer and very through, shortly before

Life changing –I spent 19 years unhappy with my breasts
After having a child at 17 I spent 19 years unhappy with my breasts , James has given me back my confidence , from start to finish my experience was positive the support I received was amazing I was able to contact him with any problem at any time for reassurance , having a bad back and arthritis in my spine I was concerned about the weight aspect , I opted for b- lites weighing half the weight of a silicone implant and there have been no no issues at all , I would recommend him

I Would Do It All Again!!!
I honestly can not fault Dr McDiarmid in the slightest. I am currently 4 weeks post op for a breast augmentation. During my first consultation he was so honest about what my body could handle, how things would fit, what would be possible for my frame and what would look proportionate. He made me aware of every single possible risk and how to look after them and not once did I feel slightly uncomfortable or uneasy about the procedure! We went ahead with the possibility of 420
Like many of the ladies who have reviewed on here I found this site very helpful when making decisions re size and placement of implants but also with expectations of what the surgery and recovery would be like also. So I decided to do my own review, particularly as there weren’t a huge number of reviews with smaller implants. I’ve just turned 45. Have 2 children and breast fed both for 2 years each. I am tallish - 172cm slim and athletic -52kg. I’ve never had large breasts,
18th October Consultation day I’ve had 3 children and now lacking volume in my breasts. Last year I booked an appointment with Harley which left me feeling really negative about the whole procedure. I had a consultation and was quoted for 2 things, implants and implants with a “slight lift” which I had to book the surgery and pay a deposit before I was even able to see a surgeon. When it came to seeing the surgeon he said I had to have an uplift otherwise my boobs won’t sit

Revision Rhinoplasty.
Please see my previous review about my primary surgery by Mr Mcdiarmid. I was so happy with my results, but has the smallest residual bump which was distracting from what would have otherwise been a perfect result. Mr mcdiarmid about the bump and kindly agreed to revise it with a small rasping in surgery. He did not charge for the revision. I am now just over three months post op and have to say I am upset that I even had it done. I understand I am early in the healing process,
