So helpful and attended to an extra problem with kindness
Dr Anand was exceptionally careful not to remove more than necessary in at anyone time to ensure he had removed the skin cancer but kept the wound as small as possible to avoid the need for skin graft . This proved successful .An excellent surgeon .
After just an initial consultation with Dr Anand I now feel more at ease with my planned op in a months time
Dr Anand was very professional and caring. He clearly discussed my treatment options and was very thorough. I would highly recommend him.
Excellent visit - caring, courteous and professional.
Dr Anand was amazing, his kindness, compassion, attention to detail and professionalism put me at ease immediately. He explained my procedure thoroughly beforehand and also kept me aware of everything he was doing and what was going on throughout my surgery. He was so reassuring and made the whole experience so much easier to cope with.
Couldn’t ask for a better doctor. Very clear in what he’s going to do during the procedure and afterwards equally straightforward in mapping the recovery. Friendly and caring nursing staff on his team.
