I was very happy with my initial consultation. Mr Peckham – Cooper put me at ease with his friendly and attentive manner. I told him of my concerns and anxiety and he explained the appropriate surgical treatment. I had surgery, made a quick recovery and have had a very satisfactory post- op appt. I am extremely satisfied with my treatment and would give Mr Peckham – Cooper a very definite five stars. I am very grateful for my treatment.

Patient,
Adam removed a number of skin lesions for my Mum, Valerie Newsome. We have nothing but praise for Adam, Kelley and his team at Leeds Spire – communication, procedure and after care all done professionally. Thank you

Patient
Mr Adam Peckham-Cooper explained the procedure fully using language that was easily understood and with a friendly manner at the initial consultation. The procedure was arranged for the following week and carried out expeditiously in a professional way ably assisted by his team. Glue was applied over the stitches so that I could shower straight away minimising any disruption to my usual daily routine. Following his after care advice recovery was quick and painless and there were no problems to report when he contacted me to check some weeks after. I would finitely recommend his services as well as use them myself in future.

Patient
Mr Peckham-Cooper is a lovely, friendly, professional surgeon and I am very grateful I was placed under his care. From my first consultation, to the surgery, post operative care and even now, I have had a recurring problem that I had my surgery originally for, and instead of being uncaring and telling me to be re-referred or that he can do no more for me, he’s kept me under his care and has listened to my concerns and we both came up with a plan together. He has put my needs and wants into action and I really couldn’t ask for a better surgeon.
Emma Bray
Patient
Mr Peckham-Cooper was excellent. He was very polite and respectful, and took the time to explain and discuss my options. He explained that surgery wasn’t essential at that point, but after discussion we decided to go ahead with it. The surgery itself was good, and I was left with a very neat scar, now virtually invisible. I would definitely recommend Mr Peckham-Cooper.
