It went really well Dr Vindy was very good explaining everything and telling me what to do from here until I see him again in January . He always puts me at ease.
I have no complaints about the treatment I have received from Dr Ghura. He was kind and courteous at all times. At the pre operative appointment all aspects of the treatment were discussed and photographs of previous cases shown to me. I was made aware of what would happen during the surgery. During surgery it became obvious that Dr Ghura was very skilful and I suffered little discomfort. Post operatively I have been given clear instructions as to how to care for the wound and have been reassured that the resultant scaring will be minimal. So far I am very happy with the outcome.
Having Mohs surgery to my face was someting i felt anxious about Doctor Ghura explained the procedure in detail showed care and understanding which gave me the confidence I needed His skill and attention to detail has resulted in a really good outcome I cannot thank him enough,and I would highly recommend him
Dr Ghura operated to remove a persistent BCC on the edge of my upper lip, His precision was remarkable, leaving a scar which is invisible in the lines of my face. After the operation one of the nurses said to me that Dr Ghura is an artist, I am happy to agree.
I had no hesitation in consulting Dr. Ghura when I suspected I had another BCC on my temple. He had performed MOHS surgery previously on the bridge of my nose and also on my face. After just four weeks after surgery the wound has healed remarkably well and the scar is hardly visible. I am sure this is in no small part down to his meticulous stitching. My experience of MOHS surgery is very positive; I felt no pain or discomfort during the procedure. The treatment from Dr. Ghura has been five star and the result is five star also. He is an exceptional expert in his field and I thoroughly recommend him.
I saw Dr Ghura having been diagnosed with a small basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on the side of my nose very close to my eye. From the initial appointment through to the surgery and after-care, I couldn’t have been in better or safer hands. Dr Ghura has answered all of my questions, been patient throughout, explained everything thoroughly and I couldn’t recommend him enough. Understandably, being given a BCC diagnosis can be a scary and challenging time. But Dr Ghura put me at ease from our first meeting and made the whole process so much easier and calmer. Having discussed all potential options, I decided on Mohs surgery which meant that all the cancer cells were removed on the same surgical day, so I left knowing it had all been taken out. That was such a relief.
I had an excellent experience from the reception to the pre op care and the detailed description of what was about to take place
The treatment that I have received from Dr Ghura has been excellent. When we first me the treatment for my skin cancer area was explained clearly and in detail, and the possible options for treatment outlined. The surgery for the skin area removal was painless and the numerous post-op dressing changes have resulted in a good overall result.
Dr Ghura is a very engaging and polite Doctor, very knowledgable, calming and informative based on your requirments. A very assuring person to work with.
I have been very happy with my treatment with Dr Ghura - he was always very clear and kind throughout both treatment and all my follow up appointments. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to people for MOHS surgery. The nursing staff during surgery at the Everything Skin Clinic were calm and caring and put me at ease.

DermatologistDr Ghura is a much valued colleague which I have known for about ten years both in NHS and in the private sector. He is a very experienced dermatological surgeon and I have referred many patients (NHS and private) to him for Mohs surgery. In all my years of knowing him, I have never had negative feedback about his surgical skills and his professionalism. He is well regarded as one of the leading Mohs surgeon in our area. Mohs surgery is a very specialised skill and there is only a relatively small handful of Dermatologists who are trained in this area. He excels in this. I would gladly entrust...
