Mr Burge Clifton Plastic Surgery does not claim any greater skill than any other surgeon – reputable doctors don't. Mr Burge's training, experience and qualifications are clearly laid out on the 'About Tim Burge' page. Mr Burge is a sole practitioner with no contractual ties to any clinic or particular hospital. Mr Burge can therefore provide a personalised service, tailored to the individual patient. Mr Burge sees all his patients himself, operates on them himself and follows them up himself.
At many clinics initial consultations are with a nurse or sales person. Further preoperative calls and consultations are always available and are always free. Mr Burge will normally insist on a two week gap between consultation and surgery. This complies with Government guidelines and allows time for those inevitable questions and doubts to be addressed.
