My hands are now soft, warm and completely dry at all times, great service and staff. It was an insightful experience.

Would highly recommend. I had an ETS, and have stopped excessively sweating, mainly on my hands, but pretty much everywhere else too. The results were instant and the recovery time was quite short. Dr Bell and his staff were great - they all made the process very easy.

I am very pleased with my outcome from sclerotherapy - a very improved appearance thank you!

Great atmosphere, great staff. Extremely happy with their guidance and help.

Hello To whomsoever this may be useful My Name is Sachin Watve & Dr Roger bell did operation ie Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy (ETS) for my sweaty hands. Dr Roger Bell, an Incredible doctor/Surgeon. Infinite THANK YOU to his surgical skills. During my First consultation in a fraction of second he understood my problem of sweaty hands(Hyperhydosis) just by a simple visual inspection. Without any doubt, his advice was "go for surgery ie Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy (ETS) whenever I am ready" as it is a bit expensive. Searched internet for reviews about this procedure & watched many videos, but everything written or explained was mostly negative which initially made me nervous. Then checked reviews about Dr Bell & everyone was positive about the results after surgery carried out by Dr Roger. Not a single review was negative about results. When I spoke with him over the telephone he clarified all my queries & assured me the success of this surgery. He clearly explained possible symptoms and side-effects. I asked my GP about this procedure & he also advised me to go ahead. DR Bell carried out surgery at John Fawkner Hospital Coburg (Private Hospital) Everything was great there. All assisting doctors & staff were nice. After the surgery, I had chest pain. During the procedure they need to deflate & inflate the lungs to get access to affected nerves. It sounds a bit weird but that's what they need to do. The chest pain lasted for a few weeks but used pain medicines suggested & everything was moderate. Also the compensatory sweating in my thighs was a bit annoying initially but later-on that also disappeared along with absolute no sweat in my Palms, Thighs, Arm pits & face. What a great feeling. No more sweaty hands. Just a few examples of what I can do now is....... -shake hands with others with confidence -write without holding towel below my hand -can fly aeroplane without gloves -can hold my daughter's hand and she doesn't feel uncomfortable as there is no sweat in my hand -Driving is so easy & no need to carry towel napkins anywhere I am sure, whoever is experiencing this hyperhidrosis, they can imagine what I am talking about. After 43 years of suffering from this sweaty hand issue now I am so happy & living a different life just because of day surgery & Dr Roger Bell. One regret is there, I forgot to take photo of my sweaty hand to show the before-after situation as I saw my sweaty hands last time on the day of surgery :) :) :). I highly recommend this surgery & Dr Roger Bell.
