Explanation

Dr Laftah was very kind in her approach to my wife, who was quite nervous as she has been ill for a number of years and has had some not so great medical experiences. Dr Laftah put her at ease and was able to immediately diagnose the issue, which had been repeatedly misdiagnosed by the GP. She gave us a very specific and comprehensive treatment plan to follow, which has worked wonders and given my wife such relief. She also took the time to listen to another issue she has ongoing and has referred us to a colleague and helped us also with that. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough, we’re very grateful. Thank you!

Explanation

Dr Laftah was patient and understanding in listening to my concerns. I felt like she took the time to understand my problem and only then had a closer look, which I really appreciated after years of being misdiagnosed. She then suggested a reasonable treatment that worked really well. I would definitely recommend Dr Laftah.

I have had Botox and filler with miss Laftah and am over the moon with the outcome. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. She is always willing to listen and will be honest in her opinion. She is very professional and clear with her explanation of aftercare and easily contactable if you needed any extra advice in the aftercare.

Explanation

I was referred to Dr Laftah after having experienced an extreme allergic reaction and skin infection post-surgery. Dr Laftah was fantastic - seeing me at short notice right before the Christmas break and rushing through blood tests to ensure that no infection had spread into my system. She and her lovely secretarial team ensured that I had a worry-free Christmas and made a point of checking in on me. Dr Laftah is the kindest and most caring doctor I have met. She operates with the utmost professionalism and worked with such speed and efficiency to resolve my concern. She worked seamlessly with my reconstructive surgeon and referred me to a specialist allergy consultant so we can get to the root cause of the issue. She genuinely cares about her patients and delivers an A* service. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Laftah!

Explanation

I have been suffering with eczema for my whole life, and Dr Laftah has given me by far the best understanding of my symptoms and how to treat them effectively. She has consistently provided me with detailed plans for its management, going into every aspect and making the often time-consuming process of eczema management significantly less overwhelming. My most recent course of treatment has significantly improved all of my symptoms, and has had wide positive knock-on effects for the rest of my day-to-day life. Her holistic approach to eczema management has improved my sleep, comfortability, appearance, and general wellbeing. Dr Laftah is always a pleasure to visit, making me feel consistently welcome and comfortable. She is able to answer any relevant questions in great detail and clarity, and is able to convey information effectively by simplifying any complexity. Dr Laftah has shown a constant commitment to patient wellbeing, and has significantly improved what has often been an exhausting condition for me.
