I couldn't recommend Mr Duff more highly. He explained everything clearly and I felt very at ease. The procedure itself was almost enjoyable - I couldn't feel a thing due to local anaesthetic and the atmosphere created by Mr Duff and the whole team in theatre was fantastic. I have been left with a very neat, small scar and I wish I hadn't put off having the procedure done for so long! I have nothing but positive feedback for Mr Duff and am very grateful to him.

Daughter had a mole removal on her back as there had been changes to it over time. Mr Duff communicated clearly to my daughter about the procedure and aftercare.

From start to finish, I felt completely comfortable, reassured, and genuinely cared for throughout my treatment. I was seen very quickly, which meant I didn’t have time to sit and worry, which made a difference to my overall experience. Every step of the way, Mr Duff explained everything clearly and patiently, answering all my questions with warmth and professionalism. His personable approach instantly put me at ease, and I always felt I was in exceptionally skilled hands. Even though I was anxious about the procedure and the potential diagnosis, the experience couldn’t have been more positive. On the day of the procedure, the staff were brilliant, they checked on me regularly, spoke with real kindness, and chatted just enough to keep me calm. Ten days later, I’m absolutely over the moon with how minimal the scarring already is, especially given the delicate area on my face. The results are incredible and truly highlight just how talented and meticulous Mr Duff is. I’m genuinely grateful for the outstanding care I received.

Mr Duff was very professional and successfully removed several cysts from my scalp. The procedure went very well, with minimal pain, and everything healed nicely. I am very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend him.
