Dr Kathy Taghipour provides professional, thorough, and excellent patient care. She performs mole mapping and lesion excisions. Patients experience neat healing and minimal scarring from these procedures, often with swift resolution. Clear explanations and effective treatments deliver excellent results for various skin conditions, including Hailey Hailey disease.
I highly recommend my dermatologist for the excellent care I received during my skin cancer evaluation and treatment. From the first appointment, she was professional, thorough, and reassuring, explaining each step clearly and taking the time to answer all of my questions. Her expertise inspired great confidence. The staff in the office are equally impressive: efficient, welcoming, and attentive, making every visit smooth and comfortable. The facility itself is modern, well-organized, and impeccably maintained. Altogether, the combination of skilled medical care, supportive staff, and an excellent clinical environment made what could have been a stressful experience feel safe and well-managed.
Dr Taghipour was very thorough and helped me find a resolution to the problems I had been experiencing very quickly. She was very reassuring and I will definitely go back to her in the future when I need to.
I have been seeing’s Taghipour since the start of 2020 for mole mapping and other skin checks, following a melanoma diagnosis. Dr Taghipour is clearly an experienced and knowledgeable doctor who demonstrates real expertise with the derma-scope and mole mapping equipment. She is always very thorough with her approach and is decisive and clear with her decisions. She has also excised numerous lesions from my skin, which have always gone very well and healed very neatly. I feel very glad to be in the care of Dr Taghipour and find her to be highly diligent and effective.
Lovely doctor, very professional but friendly and extremely efficient treatment and service with a great outcome
A return visit which required an excision of a cancerous carsinoma . Dr Taghipour was reassuring and professional taking swift action to ensure the issue was resolved and also spotted 2 new basal carsinoma that could be scrapped. I thouroghly recommend Dr Taghipour without hesitation
The only dermatologist who was thorough and not dismissive when I was convinced my treatment hadn’t worked, and got it sorted, thank you!
Dr Taghipour takes good care of both me and my husband. We have recommended her to our friends and family.
I have been a patient of Dr. Taghipour for over ten years. She is by far the best dermatologist I’ve consulted. I travel from New York City to London for her expert care, which consistently delivers excellent results. She patiently explains treatment options and provides clear, thoughtful recommendations. I’ve always been impressed with her professionalism and the quality of her care. Highly recommended!
Kathy has been looking after me for a couple of years now and has been excellent in explaining in detail any issues I have and in the any subsequent treatment if and when it’s been required
