Reviews
Great service! Thank you very much!
Very friendly and informative
Knew exactly what to expect. Friendly and relaxed. Felt confident and happy about the intervention.
Dr Bashir booked me in very swiftly for an excision so there was no waiting and worrying. I received excellent treatment and extremely detailed information delivered compassionately.
Helpful, kind (understands that a patient can be anxious about a result or prognosis) and offers clear explanations of what can be complex medical terms. A shiny star, who looks after me!

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!

I can whole-heartedly recommend Dr Bashir. He has the much-prized combinations of ability, empathy and efficiency. He is highly skilled in his work and I have both referred patients to him and been a highly-satisfied patient of his.
