Mohs' surgery is a highly specialist technique for removing difficult "non-melanoma" skin cancers (squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas ("rodent ulcers"). Dr Ghura set up the award winning Mohs' skin cancer service in Sheffield before moving to Salford Royal Hospital where he operates the largest Mohs service in the UK as Consultant Dermatologist and Mohs Surgeon.

I attended Dr Ghura’s clinic for a follow up after having had a minor surgical procedure to remove a Basal Cell Carcinoma 8 weeks earlier. He is a most engaging consultant and very easy to talk to. The scar had healed exceptionally well, almost invisible, and Dr Ghura was most reassuring that the lab results were fine. I cannot speak highly enough about Dr Ghura and my experience as his patient.

I have had 2 lesions removed by Dr Vindy Ghura this year, on both occasions I have found the treatment I received and advice regarding aftercare outstanding, his professionalism and caring approach comes naturally. I had never heard of MOHs surgery until I was recommended Dr Ghura and I can honestly say the results post surgery are amazing, 4weeks after surgery and the scar on my forehead is barely noticeable. I would without doubt have this surgery again if needed, and would recommend Dr Ghura to anyone. Thank you Dr Ghura!!!!!!!

My experience with Dr Ghura was a good one. I had a skin lesion removed from my nose. Which was benign.. I would 100% recommend Dr Ghura and the nursing team..

From my initial meeting with Dr Ghura, I felt at ease. Dr Ghura explained what would happen during the surgery in great detail and I felt relieved and comfortable that I was in the best hands possible. The MOH’s surgery itself was painless and at all times I felt comfortable and not in any pain at all. The after care was explained to me with precise instructions as to what I needed to do. In summary, if I had to go through this process again (and hopefully not!) then I would not have any concerns nor worries. Bottom line is that Dr Ghura removed completely the tumour! Thank you Dr Ghura.

Dr Ghura was very nice and explained clearly what I should expect with the surgery to my face. On the day of the surgery every process was explained at each step and Dr Ghura and his team made sure I was comfortable. The surgery to my face was near to my nose and I was concerned I would be left with a large obvious scar. Dr Ghura is an amazing surgeon. He ensured the post surgery position of the scar was along the cease line from my nose to top lip. The end result is amazing and the scar hardly noticeable. It will fade more. I cannot thank Dr Ghura enough for everything he has done for me.

Is a colleague

Dr 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...
