Every month Springfield Hospital receives masses of kind comments, letters and e-mails from patients about the positive experience they have: Below is a selection of these comments:
"Just a short letter to say I can’t thank you enough for the results of my surgery. I am absolutely amazed with what you have been able to do. My breasts are perfect, exactly what I’d pick out of a magazine and unbelievable that you have been able to achieve this with what you had to work with, given that Transform had left them in a relative state following removal of ruptured PIPs. Furthermore I felt completely at ease, you were very kind and professional, as were all the staff at the hospital . Once again, thank you!” – Nicola 2014
