Literally one of the best medical consultations I have had in a while! The initial purpose of the appointment was mole checking which he thoroughly did even proceeding to minor treatment within the first consultation as well as a step by step future plan. Apart from the initial reason of the appointment though, he went through my daily skincare routine providing advice and guidance above and beyond the protection of moles/ skin health. All with a smile!
