I couldn't be happier with my experience. My nose looks incredible, and the confidence boost it has given me has honestly been life-changing. I feel fantastic, more like myself, comfortable in my own skin again and genuinely happy again. From start to finish, the care was outstanding. Recovery was smooth, I had regular check-ups, and it was always easy to get in contact with the team for any concern or question. Every step made me feel safe, supported and completely at ease. The staff were kind, professional and lovely throughout, both at Dr Karoo's clinic and the hospital staff. The work itself is impeccable. The results have exceeded my expectations. I am beyond happy with the outcome, and cant praise Dr Karoo and his team enough. Truly a transformative experience, handled with skill, care and professionalism. His attention to detail is truly remarkable. The outcome is a beautifully structure natural looking nose that both fits my face and is beautifully proportioned. It truly is better than I could have hoped thanks to the incredible skills of Dr Karoo. This has been a life- changing experience and I would recommend Dr karoo without any hesitation to anyone considering surgery.
I would highly recommend Mr Karoo. I was put at ease in my initial consultation for Blephoraplasty and he explained thoroughly the procedure, risks, recovery and results. I never once felt rushed with my decision and the surgery was straight forward. I couldn’t be happier with my results and the service I had, I only wish I booked in sooner. I have a few friends who have now also been to Mr Karoo for a variety of surgeries and they are all so happy with results!
My experience from start to finish was amazing. I had a difficult journey to get my end result due to the results of my mammogram. I needed to have extra tests to make sure that there was nothing wrong that would result me in not being able to have my surgery. This resulted in thorough support, jumping through hoops, dotting i’s and crossing t’s before I was able to have my surgery. I sent so many emails to Mr Karoo’s team with questions and queries and I always got a response. I feel so much happier to have jumped through hoops to get my surgery as it proved to me that Mr Karoo and his team went that extra mile before I was allowed to be able to go through with my surgery. From my admission for my surgery, before my surgery, after my surgery and the appointments that followed. I feel the care was amazing. I am 7 weeks post op and have healed exceptionally well. I am so happy with the result and love my new breasts. Thank you to the team, Mr Karoo, staff at St Joseph’s Hospital and everyone who wrote a review.
“From my personal experience” I had a rhinoplasty & breast augmentation with dr Richard Karoo this year around 7 weeks ago, from start to finish I cannot fault a thing, from the moment I had my first consultation the whole experience was so easy and well planned out, I was made to feel completely comfortable throughout the whole process, it was very well explained to me and pricing was great also. If I did have any questions or queries I could email or phone & Richard’s team who got back to me within the hour, the results have changed my life, the physical & mental changes in me have made me question when I didn’t do it sooner! I’m so so happy with how everything has gone I can’t thank Richard & his team enough. Would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking into this type of surgery.
I’m over 5 months post op and I couldn’t be happier. I’m 27 and have dealt with extremely large and heavy breasts for a very long time being a 34JJ. Dr Karoo made me aware of my higher risks on my first consultation and was empathetic to how much of a struggle it’s been. But was reassuring he was there to help me. Since my op, I’ve managed to lose weight as I can exercise more, I can breathe so much better even sitting down and no longer suffer with rashes or sweating underneath. This has truly changed my life and I couldn’t recommend Dr Karoo enough. The healing has been amazing. His secretaries have been so quick to respond to any questions I’ve had and are so lovely. I can stand straight and tall now and forever grateful for this.
I had a breast reduction just under 6 weeks ago with Dr Karoo, and I can honestly say it has changed my life. I had wanted this surgery for over 10 years, and I’m genuinely gutted I didn’t do it sooner. From the moment I met Dr Karoo, I knew he was the doctor I wanted. He is incredibly calming, kind, and reassuring, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the whole process. He took the time to listen and made sure I felt confident and informed every step of the way. My recovery has been amazing. I’ve had very little pain, healed incredibly well, and the results already exceed my expectations. I feel so much more comfortable and confident in my body already I couldn’t recommend Dr Karoo enough. He is an exceptional surgeon and I’m so grateful to him for such a positive, life-changing experience.
My experience with Mr Karoo was genuinely excellent. I’d debated this procedure for a long time and went into it feeling very anxious, but he put me at ease straight away. He was reassuring, professional, and truly caring throughout, which made me feel completely confident in the procedure. The entire process went as smoothly as possible - from the day-stay appointment to the operation and the full healing period. For anyone struggling with confidence issues because of this, I’d highly recommend speaking with Mr Karoo. I’m so glad I went ahead; I feel much more comfortable now and my quality of life has improved so much.
I had a great experience from the initial meeting to the end result, I am very happy and would highly recommend. In addition my day surgery in St Joesphs hospital in Newport was also very smooth running, great staff and I felt fully taken care of.
I had already seen Dr. Karoo’s work firsthand through other women I know, and after seeing their incredible results, I decided to book myself in for a consultation. The moment I met him I just knew he was going to be my surgeon. I had a breast augmentation with him, and from start to finish he made me feel completely at ease. He is so kind, so gentle, and genuinely attentive. The whole experience was amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with my results. He knew exactly the look I was going for, and the result is better than what I imagined. It has genuinely changed my life, and my confidence has skyrocketed.
I found the whole experience professional, Mr Karoo did amazing at keeping me at ease during each consultation and provided all the information I needed and did not hesitate to answer any questions before and after my procedure.
