Dr Latheef was very open and approachable, listened to my concerns and asked questions. My appointment wasn’t rushed and a diagnosis was given. The treatment is working and I’m delighted to be almost back to my old self. I can’t praise him highly enough.

I had suffered with a skin condition on my face for a few years. It would flare up with no specific triggers; my face would become itchy and uncomfortable; it was seriously affecting my self confidence. Dr Latheef quickly diagnosed two different conditions, gave me a schedule of treatment that I followed religously, and within days I was seeing a very positive result. Now, almost a year down the line, my skin issues are history. The schedule of treatment has long finished, and I manage my skin with UV protection. Confidence restored; skin calm; an easily managed long term solution. I highly recommend Dr Latheef. Thank you, Faheem. One very happy patient.

I visited Dr Latheef whilst suffering from severe Alopecia Areata which affected hair all over my body and left me with shattered confidence and a feeling of desperation having been neglected by other health care professionals. Dr Latheef's prescribed treatments have worked perfectly, and i am very much on the road to recovery. However, and arguably more than that, he was kind and compassionate in a very difficult situation and gave me hope and reassurance. He listened and understood when it seemed no other healthcare professional could or would and offered the follow up support and help needed. I cannot recommend Dr Latheef highly enough to anyone who is suffering with similar conditions. Thank you.

I had suffered from persistent acne since I was 12 years old and had visited my GP for almost 2 decades hoping for a solution. I was given various antibiotics and topical treatments which had very little effect. I was told that my acne was ‘not bad enough’ for any other treatment and that as it was most likely caused by hormones there was no cure. Aged 32 and working in a professional environment I was fed up of feeling self conscious in my work place and visited Dr Latheef at his clinic in Leeds. He made me immediately feel at ease and for the first time I felt a medical professional was being sympathetic to my problem. He assured me that my acne could be cured and that it did not need to be severe to be treated. I was prescribed accutane and was fully supported throughout the months I took it. I never once felt embarrassed discussing my condition or belittled as I had when seeing my GP. My skin is now amazing! The side effects from accurane were extremely minor and I couldn’t be happier with the overall result. Thank you Dr Latheef!

I have recently seen Dr. Latheef because of a skin concern which was worrying me. He was careful, thorough and utterly professional in his investigation and ultimate diagnosis. Just as importantly, I think, he immediately tuned into my anxiety and was sensitive and compassionate. Rarely have I seen such a combination of professionalism and human concern in a consultant. He is ,I think, exceptional.

I visited Dr Latheef out of desperation as I was at an all time low with how I was feeling with my skin. I never really had bad skin as a teenager and only the last few years I have really struggled with having large Acne and greasy skin. I’m a 37 year old Male. 2-3 times a day I was checking my skin wondering where the next giant spot would be. This really knocked my confidence on a personal level and commercially for my business. I would rather pass on social events or meetings if my face had spots. Dr Latheef was really understanding of how I was feeling and understood what I was going through and started me on a treatment. I have to say that the treatment has been absolutely amazing. After 2-3 weeks of starting the treatment my spots cleared up. No longer was I having to check my face for spots appearing, which in turn boosted my confidence. I am eternally grateful for the help from Dr Latheef and would recommend any men who feel down about their skin problems to get in touch. You won’t forget it. Thank you.

At the age of 24 I started to suffer from acne that was getting increasingly worse and painful each day. I tried to get help from the GP however, it was not deemed severe enough to get referred to see a dermatologist. I found Dr. Faheem Latheef online one day and was contemplating for half a year whether I should get into contact. At this point I had lost self confidence due to my appearance and just wanted help to resolve my skin. I decided to book a consultation with Dr. Latheef and till this day I still wish I had gone to see him sooner. He is very attentive, takes his time to listen to you and problems you may have whilst on treatment. He is patient in explaining anything you don't understand and also very assertive when it comes to his diagnoses of your skin and recommendations whilst you are on treatment. He really cares about what results you want and is realistic about it. I have been on treatment with him for 8 months now and words cannot describe how pleased I am with my skin! I am spot free and have regained my confidence back! I would highly recommend and urge any acne sufferers to get in contact with Dr. Latheef because if I wasn't contemplating for half a year, I would of had clear skin sooner and I wouldn't have left my acne to get so bad. Thank You again Dr. Latheef!

After 7 years of being diagnosed as suffering with Hydradenitis Suppurativa and many treatments of anti biotics I was referred to Dr Latheef for a consultation. He listens to you and asks all the relevant questions. His manner is incredibly reassuring. He prescribed a very intense and high dose of medication which I followed, he saw me mid way through to ensure all was well. The medication 'cured' my symptoms and the hope and relief I was given is beyond articulating. My grateful thanks and I continue on the follow up prescription.

I suffered from solar keratosis of the lips for 35 years but didn't know what it was until it was recently diagnosed. I went to numerous dermatology departments over the years thinking it was allergies and numerous ointments but nothing worked. My face and lips were badly sunburned as a teenager and my lips never fully healed they were flaky and scabby all the time. The scabs and flakes fell away and felt raw and new scabs would form but they never healed it was a continuous cycle which I thought I would have to live with for the rest of my life. Then I was referred to Dr lafeeth and said it was probably acnitic Kealitis. ?? So he prescribed flouricil cream 5%. He said apply to the lips once a day. For first week it was ok it just felt tight and lips a slight sting. Day 6 the scabs began to form and it got worse. The doctor said the worse the reaction it proved the cream was doing its job and the lip skin was badly damaged. I went to work with it and it looked horrendous. The scabbing lasted 2 weeks and eventually it improved. It is a form of chemotherapy cream so I assumed it burned away the damaged skin to reveal the healthy tissue underneath. It is a drastic treatment but it does work just don't plan any social events as it isn't pretty! Now for next 3 months I will use solaraze cream on lips and face to clear up any residual sun damage. The undiagnosed condition did affect my life for so many years. I was shy with women because of my flaky scabby lips. If you think you have the same condition then there are treatments. Sun damage is my occupational hazard as I've been a postman for 35 years. Plus running cycling and metal detecting. So I cover up every day of the year now with sun block spf 50 and lip block.

Hi all, I really hope my review helps you if you have been suffering from acne like me from my early teens. Background information: I was first diagnosed with Acne when I was age 15 years old, at the age I really did not know what acne was all I need was I had spots. Oftenly, people would say it was because I was eating too much chocolate, sometimes I would agree others I would disagree. As usual I started to see my GP and of course I was given various topical medication and antibiotic, despite sharing 6-7 different antibiotic nothing really worked for my skin. Experience with Harley St London: After battling with my confident and self-esteem in my early 20’s, I was so desperate for anything and I mean ANYTHING to improve my skin, I went ahead and did my own research online. I came across Harley Street Skin Clinic in London, after looking at all the different treatments they offer. I pleaded for my family and friends to help me in funding for these expensive treatment, I really thought this would be the break through my skin needed. I booked a consultation and I was promised that I would notice a significant improvement after 12 weeks of skin treatment. I had chemical peel, laser treatment, Glycolic peel, Jessner peel and dermaroller as well as buying their products at the clinic which was more expensive then the treatment itself. After the 12 weeks, I did not notice any visible improvement and after consulting with Harley st Skin Clinic they insisted that I should continue with my treatment plan and be patient as it will take a while to see the changes. I was so disappointed as at this point, I had spent a lot of money which in my opinion went to waste sadly. This really shows that sometime not even the most well-known or award winning clinic can’t help. My personal advice would be do your own research and look for consultants/ specialist that are highly experience and are really willing to help re-build your confident, self-esteem and put their patients at the centre of their decision-making. After much disappointment with Harley st, I spent weeks and weeks searching for a dermatologist, I was so relieved when I came across Dr Faheem Latheef, I read through all his amazing reviews from his clients and I really had a good feeling about this. I immediately called Christine who is Dr Latheef secretary, and she honestly was fantastic and helpful. Christine booked an appointment for me the next day and I commuted to Leeds from London to meet with Dr Latheef. He was absolutely amazing and he really explained to me what the root cause of acne were, he draw a picture of the glands and it almost felt like a ‘science lesson’. That was the point I made my decision that I would like him to treat me for my acne. I committed to travelling to Leeds from London which is a far distance, but I hope this really proves to you that he is worth the travel and he honestly values his clients. My only regret is not finding Dr Latheef earlier, but mostly importantly I am confident with my skin and my friends and family have also noticed the significant improvement too. Please if you are reading this, it means that you have suffered with acne or know someone that has suffered with acne before. Please give him a try in fact speak to Christine (her number can be found on Dr Latheef website), discuss with her what you would like to achieve and a bit about your past experience with acne. I can certainly promise you that you would make the best decisions of your life. I would recommend Dr Faheem Latheef to my family, friends and anyone who is suffering with acne. I am currently on my 2rd month of Roaccutane and my skin is looking amazing and I will great within myself. Thank You So Much Dr Latheef, You are amazing
