The Battersea Clinic

Mr Naveen Cavale is truly exceptional. After researching surgeons for 20 years, I genuinely believe he is one of the most skilled plastic surgeons in the UK — if not worldwide. I had lived my whole life hating my very big, bulbous nose. After three rhinoplasties elsewhere, I was still unhappy with the wide, rounded tip. Several Harley Street surgeons told me my nose simply couldn’t be improved. Then a colleague from the NHS recommended Mr Cavale, and everything changed. My experience at the Real Clinic was outstanding from start to finish. One thing that immediately stood out was knowing that Mr Cavale never takes on a patient he feels is risky or unsuitable. His honesty, kindness, and competence put me at ease straight away. The fact that he also works within the NHS gave me even more confidence. On the day of surgery, everyone at the Real Clinic made me feel calm — from the warm receptionist to the wonderful nurses and my anaesthetist, Mr Alasdair Wills. He was calm, highly skilled, and chose the perfect anaesthetic so I had no post-op nausea. I’m usually very anxious before procedures, but I felt completely safe under his care. Now, three months later, I am absolutely in LOVE with my new nose. Mr Cavale truly understood the assignment. I told him my biggest fears were ending up with a “Michael Jackson–style” tip or an overly done, pinched, Barbie-like look. He listened and delivered. He has this unique way of completely transforming a nose while keeping it so natural that even my closest friends couldn’t tell I’d had surgery. The paradox with Mr Cavale is that he underpromises and overdelivers. He is, quite simply, a magician — and someone you can trust with your life. I also saw a review from someone (see below) who felt her consultation was rushed. I think it’s important to remember that Mr Cavale is human, and he is an exceptionally busy surgeon who works across the NHS, the private sector, and also dedicates his time to charity work helping children in impoverished countries. His schedule reflects the level of expertise he brings. Additionally, he does not rely on computer-generated digital simulations of post-surgery noses — and rightly so. These images rarely correlate with real-life surgical outcomes and can give patients unrealistic expectations. Mr Cavale’s skill is such that he doesn’t need digital modelling; in fact, he often doesn’t even need to physically touch your nose to know whether he can fix it. His vast experience means that a simple visual assessment gives him all the information he needs. The same person reviewing below also claims she paid £300 for a consultation with Mr Cavale which seems like a strange claim because his consultations cost £200; which is what I paid to see him. For transparency, I am a genuine patient of his — and I am also a physician in the NHS. I could not recommend him more highly.

Could not recommend this clinic high enough. I had two eye operations with Dr Walker. To say it was an easy, comfortable and dare i say enjoyable process from start to finish is an understatement. From the friendly reception staff, the wonderful nurses all the way to the Surgeons/Clinic directorship. They make you feel valued, important and heard. The clinic itself is clean and aesthetically very well put together and has easy access from outer London. If you are looking into a treatment/operation - don't hesitate to use them!

Had a hyrdafacial here and loved it, Katerina was knowledgable and efficient. The front of house staff were courteous and kind. Will definitely be back!

I came in for Endovenous laser therapy on my leg,I was very nervous when I arrived because I suffer with anxiety and panic attacks but from start to finish the wonderful team here put me at ease even let me chill out for abit longer before my surgery,All throughout the procedure we was talking making me feel at ease letting me know whats going on and having a laugh very friendly and nice people thank you so much

I came here on 17th June for my surgical procedure and just wanted to express my gratitude for the amazing level of care received. All of the staff involved were professional, as well as kind and jovial, allowing for a stress-free experience. I especially liked Elaine who was so lovely and caring, as well as Alexa (I think she might have been a visiting Nurse). I would not hesitate to recommend the Real Clinic for anyone seeking treatment.

The staff at Real clinic are fantastic. They are friendly professional and my surgeon Dr Shakeel Rahman was amazing. He and his team made me feel so at ease. I would highly recommend Real to everyone.

Following my breast reduction at The REAL Clinic in December, I booked an appointment for a laser removal of a mole on my nose. As it's a very visible area of the face, I was happy that I had full trust in the team at the clinic following my previous procedure. On the day the procedure and the aftercare was explained to me thoroughly and I felt well taken care of by the whole team which made me feel really reassured. The team do those procedures every day but for me it's a huge thing (and my first laser mole removal) so their care and thoughtfulness was really appreciated. The procedure itself was painless and not long at all, everything is healing really nicely at the moment and I am really glad I chose this particular clinic. Would definitely trust them again and highly recommend to others considering having any cosmetic work done.

Absolutely great service. Mr Paul Roblin was amazing he did an amazing job during surgery. I do feel the need to give a special thanks to the nurse Shernet White who was there when I woke up and was absolutely delightful. I was so grateful for her . And thank you to every nurse and all the staff for being so wonderful.
