Overall good consultation with useful information provided
Dr Hayley Smith is an expert in her field! From first meeting her, I felt I was in good hands. She listened to my skin concerns and made me feel as though my feelings were valid. She explained lots of treatment options and we decided on one together, which she fully supported me through. The portal she uses is quick and easy to use and everything was always efficient and I never encountered any problems.
Dr. Smith is very skilled and professional, and has an impressive ability to build a rapport with patients. She communicated the procedure and after-effects to me clearly after taking my family and medical history into consideration and did a fantastic job of the removal.
Highly professional, reassuring and polite experience, highly recommend.
This was a follow up appointment. Excellent service, great interaction and information about prescription and future treatment / further appointment.
We visited Dr Smith to review a new mole, she was very thorough, explained clearly her findings and backed these up with examples to compare against which gave reassurance.
