Why Choose Us for a Second Opinion on Maxillofacial Surgery?
Mr Nabeel Bhatti & Prof Simon Holmes
Consultant Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons
If you’ve been told you need maxillofacial surgery—or you’ve already had treatment but have ongoing concerns—it’s entirely reasonable to seek a second opinion. In fact, we actively encourage it when patients want clarity, confidence, or an independent view of their options.
Our private practice offers expert second opinions on a wide range of oral and maxillofacial conditions, including:
Why Patients Trust Us for a Second Opinion
Both of us regularly manage patients who have had previous surgery elsewhere or whose conditions are particularly complex. Our NHS work at The Royal London Hospital, a major trauma centre, and our private practice give us extensive experience in both primary and revision maxillofacial surgery.
We’re used to assessing surgical plans critically, identifying missed diagnoses, and offering alternatives when appropriate.
When you come to us privately, you’ll be seen directly by one or both of us—not a trainee or junior clinician. Our advice is entirely independent, evidence-based, and rooted in decades of surgical practice. We’ll be honest with you, even if that means recommending no further surgery.
We take the time to review your existing scans, letters, and treatment history. Where needed, we can arrange:
We’ll explain everything in plain terms—your diagnosis, risks, possible surgical or non-surgical options, and likely outcomes.
Every patient is different. Our second opinions consider:
We won’t just tell you what can be done—we’ll help you decide what should be done, based on risks, benefits, and your priorities.
A second opinion can be a sensitive step. We offer confidential, one-to-one consultations in private settings, with full respect for any previous treatment you’ve had elsewhere.
We’re happy to work alongside your current clinicians—or independently—depending on your wishes.
If you're considering a second opinion, we invite you to contact us with your referral letter, imaging, or simply your questions. We will always give you our honest, expert view—without pressure or obligation.
Our role is to give you the clarity and confidence to move forward, whatever you decide.
