Oliver Harley Plastic Surgeon

I had severe Dupuytrens Contracture on my right hand, so I was very pleased to find Mr Oliver Harley who said he would be able to help me. He explained the type of surgery I would be having, so I knew what to expect and felt reassured. Post surgery I am extremely happy with the results after years of having this condition which affected my daily life and made me feel self conscious. I now feel I have my hand back to normal. I would highly recommend Mr Harley if you suffer with this disease or have any problem with your hands.

Mr Harley operated on my left ring finger that had severe contracture . Following surgery and a course of specialist physiotherapy I have a fully functioning left hand. A much better outcome than even expected - Thank you a great job.

I was referred to Mr Harley for a lump I had on my finger which inhibited my day-to-day movement. From the start, he was very approachable, friendly and reassuring. After the initial consultation, I was booked in for surgery. Mr Harley and his team effortlessly eased my operation-day anxiety and I felt completely safe in his care. The procedure was completed very quickly with no pain. Four weeks have passed from my procedure and I am very, very happy with the result. I would not hesitate in recommending Mr Harley to anyone considering surgery and would happily return for anything else I need in the future. Thanks again!

Mr Harley has performed carpal tunnel surgery on both my left and right hand over the past two years. The surgery was very well explained and took a matter of minutes to complete. I felt instant relief and recovered very quickly with no post operation issues. The scaring is minimal and the first one is nearly invisible 18 months down the line. I honestly can not recommend him enough.

Very pleased to have regained functionality in my left hand after Oliver Harley operated to allow straightening of the little finger (Dupuytrens). I am now able to play musical instruments again! Huge thanks to Mr Harley and the team at East Grinstead, the care and attention has been excellent.

His encouragement and positive attitude motivated me to stay focused on my healing and regain my strength.Thanks to Dr. Harley's expertise and unwavering support, I am now on the path to a full recovery, and the post-surgery pain has subsided significantly. I highly recommend Dr. Harley to anyone in need of exceptional care and a compassionate healing partner.Thank you, Dr. Harley and the team for my recovery journey.

I had exploratory surgery carried out on my Hand by Mr Harley in June 2023 after a previous ganglion removal by another surgeon at a different hospital had left me with limited mobility to my left index finger, along with pain. Mr Harley was attentive, and listened to all my concerns, and agreed to have a look to see if he could ease things for me. Thankfully, after the operation, I regained movement back to the finger, and had no more pain. The whole operative team at The McIndoe Centre in East Grinstead were caring and put me at ease. I thoroughly recommend Mr Harley.

Last year I started a weight loss journey. I managed to loose 5 stone in 9 months, which left me with loose and sagging skin on my breasts and stomach. I have been saving for surgery for the last 8 years, fully researching everything I needed to know. Once I hit my goal weight, I started looking for surgeons to finish my weight loss journey. I Sade ten different surgeons over the space of a few months, and i didn’t feel safe or understood by them, until I met mr Harley and his team. Straight away his p.a jennie was quick to respond, efficient, friendly and worked hard to get me seen quickly as I was at the point of giving up after spending so much on consultations and getting no further forward. Mr harley called me one evening after he had finished work and spent a good hour on the phone, discussing the surgery with me, my options etc.. a few days later I decided to have a consultation and went to visit him at the mkindoe centre in east grinstead. He was warm and welcoming and I knew straight away he was the surgeon I had been searching for. I suffer with anxiety and panic disorder, and instantly mr harley put my nerves at ease and I knew I was in safe hands. He told me what his professional opinion was, and although I wasn’t keen on what he was saying, I knew he was saying everything for the right reasons. I decided to book my surgery that day for 6 weeks time. As I was waiting for my surgery date to approach, my nerves grew even more, and I had several doubts along the way which almost made me cancel. I loved that they don’t ask you to pay any money until the week before the surgery, so you feel free to make a decision and not tied into it because you will loose money. I almost cancelled 3 times as I was sure I wanted implants, and mr harley explained that I would be better without implants to start and see what I think, because he thinks he can get the look that I want and save me a lot of money doing it too. A few days before the surgery I had another wobble, me harley called me and reassured me everything would be ok, I decided to go for it and at that point on I was so excited for my surgery. On the day of surgery, I arrived around 7am, was taken to my room for pre op checks. Mr harley came in, took photos, drew me up ready for surgery and I met my anasthetic doctor who was also lovely. I was so calm and chilled, and was ready for this next journey. The nurse came in told me they were ready and that was it. The whole process was so quick from start to finish, I didn’t even have a chance to text my husband to say I was going down. I had a last second wobble where emotions hit me, and I burst into tears and the nurses were so lovely. They gave me a cuddle and told me not to worry. The next thing I know I’m waking up, feeling very comfortable and in very very minor discomfort. The stay in the hospital was fantastic, very clean and the food is delicious. Staff are amazing and made sure I was checked on very regularly. Later that evening, mr harley came to check up on me and said he would be back in the morning. I had a good night - not the best sleep to be expected, but i was so happy the pain was minimal, but I was looking forward to going home. The next morning, the nurses came in, helped me wash in the shower and I was discharged. A few days passed and I experienced a few minor reactions to the surgery. Nothing that mr harley caused - I had an allergic reaction to the dressings which made my skin very sore, and then I had some excess swelling and fluid leaking. I had to go back a few times and was seen by dr Tom who was also fantastic - never felt like I was being a nuisance or causing any hassle to them. The service from both mr harley and all his team are fantastic. I love that mr harley is honest, he wants the best for his patients and takes pride in his work. I am now almost 6 months post op and he has changed my life. I’ve never felt so happy, it’s not just been a physical change for me, but a huge emotional and mental journey too. I will be forever greatful to mr harley for giving me my life back!

I would like to thank Dr Harley for the successful removal of a ganglion I had on my hand. It was applying pressure near my nerves and had caused me pain and tingling on and off for years and had become exacerbated with work at the time.When it came to discussing removal, I was worried about the placement of it and could only hope that even if I didn't get back full functionality of my hand (which I hadn't had for years anyway at that point) that it would at least feel better and have less flare ups.Thankfully, I had Dr Harley. He not only made me feel reassured throughout the process but he was very professional, honest and personable right up to moments before the surgery. He and his team ensured that the removal went smoothly and the ganglion has now been gone for 6 months and I haven't experienced the same numbness or tingling that used to travel across my whole lower arm to the tips of my fingers. The scar is so small and neat that I don't feel conscious of it at all. Truly remarkable change.

Mr Harley operated on my right hand contracture in May and from start to finish he and his team were professional and caring. The operation went well and having followed all I was advised my hand is once again a useful part of me, enabling me to once again undertake all previous tasks and hobbies. Thank you, I couldn't have been cared for by a better surgeon and wonderful team.
