I cannot fault the service and delivery here. Dr Gaikwad removed a benign mole for me. The operation was less uncomfortable than I expected. Post operation I felt zero discomfort, to a level that meant I often forgot I’d had it done! The remaining scar is literally unnoticeable.

Sophie was fantastic, I’ve been on the NHS waiting list for over 12 months. The gp and remote dermatologist couldn’t diagnose my condition and I have been in a lot of pain and lost a lot of my hair. Sophie diagnosed me with a rare condition and the treatment has been life changing

The minor, day care operation that I had was carried out very professionally and carefully and I felt reassured that I was in excellent hands. Post op I healed well and the diagnosis result was most reassuring. Thank you.
