A wonderful experience from start to finish

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

Dear, Jane. Hearing that you felt confident from your very first consultation all the way through to surgery really means a lot to us. Feeling informed, listened to and supported when making these decisions is so important, and we’re so pleased that came across in your experience.

Your comments about Miss Rollett will make her smile. She cares deeply about guiding her patients with honesty and care, so knowing you trusted her advice and feel happy with your decision is exactly what we hope for.

It truly means a great deal that you’d return to Coppergate Clinic in the future. Thank you again for placing your trust in us. Kindest Regards, Coppergate Clinic.

Seven days post op…

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.

Dear, Sarah. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.

We’re absolutely delighted to hear how happy you are with your results already. To know that, after just seven days of recovery, you’re already feeling ecstatic truly means a great deal to us.

Your kind words about Ms Bowers and our theatre team are also appreciated. We’re incredibly proud of the care they provide and will be sure to pass your comments on to them personally. It’s also lovely to hear that you felt well looked after on the day and comfortable within the clinic, we truly believe the environment and those small touches matter just as much as the clinical care itself.

We do, however, want to sincerely apologise to you regarding the missed aftercare phone call. Every one of our patients is scheduled to receive a post-operative check-in call within the first couple of days following surgery, so we are genuinely very sorry if that didn’t happen for you. That early contact is an important part of how we support and reassure our patients during recovery, and it’s upsetting for us to think you may have felt that support was missing.

We do hope that if you had any questions or concerns during those early days, Ms Bowers was able to address these and reassure you at your recent suture removal appointment. Your peace of mind during recovery is extremely important to us.

Although feedback like yours is invaluable in helping us reflect and continually improve, we are genuinely concerned to hear this and would very much like the opportunity to review what happened, as this isn’t the standard of aftercare we are committed to providing. If you feel comfortable doing so, we invite you to contact our Clinical Manager, Heather Clayton, directly at Heather@coppergateclinic.co.uk. She would truly welcome the opportunity to speak with you personally and ensure this is looked into properly.

Thank you again for your honest and generous feedback. We’re so pleased you’re doing well, and please remember we’re always here if you need anything at all. Kind Regards, Coppergate Clinic.

Coppergate Clinic? Maybe Platinum Clinic going forward?

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.

Outstanding care and service from Mr James Smith at Coppergate Clinic York.

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.

Dear, Kimberly. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and wonderful review.

We are absolutely delighted to hear that you felt looked after from start to finish and that your experience with us felt truly VIP. Your kind words about our front of house team, Charlotte and Samuel, will mean a great deal to them, and we are so pleased they helped put you at ease from the moment you arrived.

It’s lovely to hear how supported you felt throughout your journey, particularly by Katie. Continuity of care is something we value highly, and your feedback about her calm, kind and reassuring approach perfectly reflects the care she gives to every patient. We’re glad she was able to make such a positive difference at what can be a very nerve-racking time.

We will also be sure to pass on your fantastic feedback to Mr James Smith and Dr James Sira. Knowing that you felt safe, confident and reassured in their care, and that you are so happy with your results, is incredibly rewarding for the whole team. Hearing that your surgery has had such a positive impact on how you feel about yourself truly means everything to us.

Thank you again for your recommendation and for trusting Coppergate Clinic York with your care. It was a pleasure to look after you, and we would be delighted to welcome you back should you ever need us in the future. Kind Regards, Coppergate Clinic.

Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty

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

Dear Ann,

Apologies for the delayed response but I needed to read your clinical notes and speak with your surgeon Mr Smith prior to addressing your review.Having done so,I feel your review is unfair and I will note the reasons below:

You say you are disappointed with your post operative experience and that no clear explanation or definitive plan to manage a cyst was given .(the cyst or chalzion as it is known ,is due to a blocked oil gland which appeared 4 weeks after surgery in an area beyond the surgical area) and that no 6 week review was received and that we declined to treat you further and advised to seek treatment elsewhere.

It is quite clear from your clinical notes that this is not the case.

4 weeks after surgery, when you developed a cyst on the eyelid of one of your eyes, Mr Smith and another member of staff opened the clinic out of hours to assess your eye and drain the cyst with no cost to you.The cyst settled for a couple of weeks then, as is common with chalzions returned .Chalzions usually resolve in a few weeks or months .This is the only time ever have we encountered such a problem as cyst formation post operatively following thousands of eye surgeries.

Mr Smith saw you again at the clinic and drained it again(this would have been around the time of your 6 week review) .He subsequently referred you to the ophthamology team as trying to coordinate your treatment locally would be difficult for you given your location.

Mr Smith spent hours of his time contacting multiple services local to you arranging an appropriate referral. Eventually a senior nurse at the acute ophthamology unit confirmed that you could attend that same day or the following day. The nurse also stated that this issue is most likely not related to surgery as it was below the operative site. There is literature available to confirm this stating most chalazions occur spontaneously.

Following this visit to the ophthamology team you contacted the clinic to advise that their treatment plan was to observe the cyst and review in 2-3 months.

You requested a second opinion.

Mr Smith therefore contacted a colleague in your area in order to find a recommendation for a ophthalmologist privately.

The clinic and Mr Smith have supported you extensively throughout this post operative period .
There have been an additional 6 consultations and communications with respect to this according to your electronic records.

While we are sorry that this rare complication has understandably affected how you feel about your overall experience I note from your records that the aesthetic outcome of your surgery was very good and the procedure achieved the desired results.

We regret that this situation has been distressing for you and are sorry that you feel disappointed .
Please be assured we have always acted in your best interests, remained available to you at all times and provided care that went over and beyond the usual post operative support.

If you would like to discuss any of the above please get in touch.

Regards
Orla Rhodes
Clinical Director

Coppergate clinic is a very welcoming…

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

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

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.

Can unreservedly highly recommend this Clinic

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.
