I had wonderful surgical attention from Professor Malata for a cut out of a BCC. on my left forearm and a punch biopsy on my forehead ably supported by his nursing assistant Jenny. What a wonderful partnership they make! Michele should also be commended for her swift appointment arrangements. Three cheers to everyone!

Professor Malata and his team have been nothing short of amazing. I had a corrective gynaecomastia surgery at Nuffield health in Cambridge, after loosing a fair bit of weight. He took the time to thoroughly assess me and explain every step of the process, answering all of my questions and making me feel at ease. He explained why he wanted to do the procedure the way that he did, and I went into the surgery knowing exactly what was expected to happen. Post surgery the follow up appointments have been very useful and i know that if i had had any side effects i would have been able to contact him quickly and easily.
