Dermatology
Dr Bashir is an excellent dermatologist and dermatological surgeon. He has a broad range of experience in all areas of dermatology, and is one of the few dermatologists who is fully trained in Mohs surgery. He is a skin cancer specialist (skin cancer lead at Kings College Hospital) and also has vast experience in cosmetic dermatology and lasers for all indications. Highly recommended!

He is very knowledgeable about all manner of skin conditions and his areas of expertise include all forms of dermatological surgery, lasers, intense pulsed light, chemical peels. He keeps himself up to date by reading widely around the published literature. I would be happy for him to treat me and members of my family!
