Dr Weeraman greeted me when I walked into his exam room. He was very pleasant and professional. He checked the lesion on my face and then he checked my entire face and my arms and hands as I asked him to. He reassured me that I had freckles and moles and very early AK. He prescribed the chemo cream for the lesion and explained how to use it and how it works. He asked if I had any questions. He asked to see me again for a follow up. I left his office feeling informed and reassured.

I paid to see the Dr today to Diagnose my hair loss and start treatment as soon as possible. I couldn’t wait to be referred by the NHS as the loss is causing me extreme anxiety. The Dr was so understanding and professional. I left the appointment with a diagnosis and an urgent treatment plan going forward. A letter will be sent to my GP to advise them of the diagnosis and treatment. I will not hesitate to book a further appointment as necessary even though I’m self funding it’s worth it !
