I was a little nervous about having an excision under general anaesthetic, but Dr Karim made the whole experience feel relaxed while remaining professional and reassuring. He immediately put me at ease, and the procedure itself was completed very quickly. I felt completely confident in his care throughout the process

Dr Karim and his team were very friendly and welcoming. They put me at ease for the small surgery procedures I was having. Everything was explained really clearly, including what I needed to do to look after the wounds after surgery.
