AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Dr. Douglas Maslin is consistently professional, thorough, and kind in his patient interactions, making patients feel at ease and reassured. He offers clear explanations regarding diagnoses and treatment options, often providing prompt, effective procedures such as surgical excision and managing conditions on the spot. Many patients appreciate his attentive listening and the development of comprehensive treatment plans, which often lead to successful outcomes and significant relief. Key conditions frequently addressed include Basal Cell Carcinoma and Eczema.
Dr Maslin offered his help to treat a skin issue beyond the reason of the initial consultation, and he proposed optional therapies that have been equally successful.
All aspects of the service provided were outstanding. My initial consultation was arranged very efficiently - within 7 days of my GP referral - and the required mole excision was actually performed at this same initial consultation which avoided any significant delays. The treatment was explained very clearly to me and in a pleasant, accessible manner, so that I understood exactly what the options were, and what follow-up was required. When I received the results of the skin biopsy Dr Maslin also was very clear in the explanation of these results, and a follow-up mole assessment consultation in 12 months was also scheduled. Overall I could not be happier with my consultation. It exceeded my expectations in all regards.
I have seen Dr Maslin twice. His is warm, friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. Highly recommend him.
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Maslin and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking dermatology care. Because of a history of skin cancer on both sides of my family, I try to receive regular comprehensive skin checks to ensure I am aware of any skin lesions that need to be treted or monitored. I had not had a regular check in several years, but Dr. Maslin put me at ease by taking a thorough accounting of my family history and performing a very thorough check, as well as making sure he answered all of my questions. In addition to being highly professional, Dr. Maslin is extremely friendly and personable. I couldn't have asked for a better skin check and feel confident in the evaluation I received.
Communication ahead of the appointment was very efficient, and the appointment itself was an excellent experience—relaxed, unhurried, and with a clear discussion of the condition at hand.
Dr Maslin was very thorough in his assessment, explaining everything. He's clearly very experienced and knowledgeable and gave me reassurance and a clear plan. He has a lovely, gentle, kind approach and made me feel at ease. Follow up communication with my GP and plastic surgeon (Dr Reid) was really quick. Thank you so much.
The visit was good. Dr Maslin is always friendly and has time to chat about any questions or concerns I have.
Very efficient appointment and consultation, polite, pleasant and professional.
