Very helpful and good at explaining it all

While ill for other reasons, two separate areas on the side of my face formed scabs and would not heal. After a referral, I had to find a dermatologist that I could trust. I am a person that finds it hard to trust anyone, but this was next to my eye! Dr Arif Aslam stood out immediately due to his website, as it was clean and informative. In person, he was precise and exactly who I needed. As I had two separate problems, one complex, I went through two sessions of Mohs surgery and was able the second time to fully observe the organisation and the process. I must also highlight the high quality of the team, and facilities, assembled by Dr Aslam. That includes the hidden technician. The aim of the Mohs process is to remove all the cancer, and the least possible of the person. Without this process the choice for the surgeon is either play it safe by removing too much, or risk a repeat operation. With the Mohs process, it becomes a skill decision instead. For me, all it meant was a small wait while the the initial surgery results were prepared by the hidden technician. The wait was very calming in a comfy environment with refreshments. For both my cancers Dr Aslam managed to remove them fully on the first surgery. The unexpected part was Dr Aslam's organisation, and instructions to the nurses. He was very calm and precise. There were always nurses in the room with me. There are a few areas I should highlight. The first is about the instructions for after the surgery, both written and oral. With Dr Aslam's and his team's care, I actually felt obliged to make the same effort and follow the instructions exactly. I would also recommend buying a few extra pillows before the surgery. I found it better to refuse offers of a mirror after the surgery, as I felt I could trust Dr Aslam to do what is best. The outcome was well beyond my expectations, and has already resulted in another going to the doctors for a similar problem. As I said I was ill for other reasons, and Dr Aslam worked around, and mitigated those problems. What I did not expect was to feel so much better after the surgery. Thank you.

Mr Malik was very helpful and kind and explained things well. I felt that the care he provided was thorough and he went above and beyond to put my mind at ease.

Jeet is a fantastic doctor who has helped me immensely where as others did nothing. Definitely recommend. Can't praise him enough.

Mr Ghosh was excellent with everything. I couldn’t have asked for more. I would 100% recommend.

Mr West gave me excellent advice and gave me plenty of time to ask questions.
