I’d been considering surgery for quite a while. I did my research and planned to visit a couple of different clinics — but after meeting Mr James Smith, I knew I didn’t need to look any further.... See more

A feeling of confidence and professionalism from the start and throughout. Excellent pre, during, and post care. Excellent results, and would not hesitate to use again or recommend to others. First class.

A wonderful experience, I had full confidence in the team from the start, first consultation through to surgery, surgery was of a high standard with full information for decision making and troubleshooting before and after. I had every confidence in Miss Rollett, listened and took her advice to guide my decision making. I have no regrets and should I want further advice or treatment I would return to Coppergate Clinic and especially Miss Rollett

Seven days post op - Lower Blepharoplasty Trans Conjunctival with Fat Transfer and CO2 Laser too. That’s a lot to get over in 7 days but I’m ecstatic with the results already. Chiara is incredible and the five stars are for her mainly and the nursing staff. Beautifully clean place, warm and appreciated the coffee. They really looked after me well on the day. The only thing I’d comment to improve on would have been that I’d have appreciated an after care phone call within a day or two.

What can we say about the Coppergate Clinic except it should perhaps be renamed Platinum Clinic as it is as good as it gets.
My wife has just had her second procedure with Mr Rhodes who is the most brilliant surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner to totally reassure you in every way.
All the staff are super friendly and professional before during and after the surgery, so what could potentially be a super stressful situation is very well handled making it a good experience.
A special shout out to Beth and her husband Johnny our anaesthetist who like Mr Rhodes exude the confidence of a seasoned pilot.
This was my wife’s second major procedure and once again everything went like clockwork so huge thanks to all the staff whether admin or clinical.
I’m sure we will be revisiting again in the not too distant future.

Coppergate Clinic York a VIP service from start to finish.
The clinic is beautiful the front of house team members Charlotte and Samuel are very welcoming and made me feel at ease.
From my first consultation with Mr James Smith to present day the service has been amazing I cannot fault it in anyway.
I went in for my surgery which was a mastopexy and upper blepharoplasty to say I was nervous is an understatement but Katie the Theatre Manager put me at ease I had my Pre Op with Katie also which was nice to see the same person the whole way through the process she was calm, kind, organized and reassuring.
Katie looked after me on the day of my surgery I briefly considered asking if she could come home with me for Post Op care. 😊
My surgeon James Smith has the rare combination of being extremely skilled and extremely calming at the same time I felt very at ease with him the whole time.
The kind of surgeon who makes you think "YES I TRUST" this man with sharp objects on my face and breasts.😊
The results are amazing the scars on my upper eye are barely visible after 3 weeks I got exactly what I asked for and couldn't be happier I still have some healing to do on my breast where I had the uplift but it is definitely going in the right direction (UPWARDS).
James has changed not only how I look but how I feel about myself which in my opinion is priceless.
I would also like to mention Dr James Sira my anaesthetist who sent me off to sleep smoothly I barely had time to panic.
The Coppergate Clinic Team deserve a standing ovation from the moment I arrived I was treated like a VIP rather than a nervous human in a hospital gown.
All in all I would thoroughly recommend the expert hands of James Smith I have results I am genuinely thrilled with.
Brilliant teamwork from the clinic if you are considering surgery and want to feel safe, supported and quietly fabulous afterwards this is the dream team.
I would highly recommend James Smith if I ever decide to have any further surgery you can be sure I will be back at Coppergate in York.

I had an upper and lower blepharoplasty at Copper Gate Clinic with Mr James Smith and, unfortunately, my post-op experience has been disappointing.
Following the surgery, I developed a large cyst on my upper eyelid that was not present prior to the procedure and is something I have ever suffered with. I raised this concern on multiple occasions and the lump was drained twice by Mr Smith. Despite this, it has not resolved, and I have not been given a clear explanation of the cause or a definitive plan for ongoing treatment. I also did not receive my scheduled 6-week post-op review.
I received an email advising that no further treatment would be offered by the clinic, and that if I wished to have the cyst removed, I would need to seek treatment elsewhere or via the NHS. This has left me feeling extremely disappointed with the outcome. I am also not happy with the overall outcome of the procedure

Coppergate clinic is a very welcoming calm clinic.
All the staff were very kind and reassuring.I had blepharoplasty or eyelid surgey in August 2025
I had wanted surgery for over 30 years but wasnt brave enough. !! Why did I wait so long. ??
It was painless and very quick. Recovery was uneventful. Out of choice I had a tweak to the eyelids in November 2025. Returned for final check today 12 January
Absolutely delighted.
Highly recommend Miss Ciarstan Mcardle and her team

Fantastic clinic. Beautiful deco, really friendly staff, Alison was amazing as was Mr Bhatt. The whole experience was very relaxing and every step of my procedure was clearly explained. Felt a bit wobbly after so loved the special touch of hot chocolate and a chocolate bar. Very highly recommended thank you.

A friend recommended my surgeon, Christopher West to me and I saw first hand her amazing results of her face lift. I had my consultation in March 2025 and Mr. West recommended a deep plane face and neck lift and CO2 laser to areas of my face, neck & décolletage. I had plenty of time to prepare myself and underwent my surgery in January 2026. Mr. West is approachable and professional and I felt very confident in his hands. My anaesthetist, Martin instantly put me at my ease and the nurses who cared for me were so lovely. It’s early days as I heal and the swelling goes down but I’m in no pain and excited to see the changes each day brings.

It took me a year to pluck up the courage to have these procedures, so glad I did. The staff explained fully what to expect with the procedures, and most importantly the follow up healing process. Probably best to avoid mirrors for the first few days apart from cleansing routine 🤣. Very little pain, just a bit uncomfortable the day after procedure. The nurse who followed up after procedures was very thorough, kind and friendly. All necessary medications and cleansing items were provided and explained, plus detailed sheets to take home. From the reception staff, who allayed my anxieties, (procedures delayed due to unforeseen circumstances), with explanations and humour, to everyone involved, felt thoroughly cared for. 5 star treatment.

Premises very clean and welcoming. The staff are helpful and friendly.I found the actual procedure relatively painless(thankfully)After surgery there is a link with clinic available via whatsapp where you can get in touch with nurse for any concerns which was reassuring .
Mr Chris West was my Consultant he was both friendly and professional in explaining the procedure and what would be achieved. Overall I am extremely pleased with the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend Chris West.
