The overall experience from initial consultation to the operation has been outstanding, plenty of reassurance and a full explanation has been given through all through the process. The operation was a lot less painful and traumatic due to Dr Ghura's explanation and assurance throughout. The results so far are excellent, and I could not recommend this enough.

From first consulation to the Mohs operation and then after-care Dr Vindy Ghura was professional and caring. He fully explained each step with a reassuring manner. I was a bit nervous about the operation as it was under a local anaesthetic. He calmed me and it all went very well with no discomfort at all. Even post surgery the discomfort was minimal. I didn't take any pain killers. Wound care was explained and the dressing was changed back at clinic when required.

He was charming throughout and his skill as a surgeon is second to none.

I had a lump removed from my forehead. Dr Ghura explained what would happen clearly and that I would probably have 5 or 6 stitches and that while there would be a mark, in time it would be a lot better than what I had with the lump. On the day Dr Ghura was very friendly and supportive but also extremely professional. I felt calm and secure at all times. Everything was explained to me all the way through and in the end I had 5 stitches. I was told exactly how to care for the wound and in my case I had a pressure dressing. A week later the stitches came out and now about a month later there is barely a mark, just some pinkness around the area. I would highly recommend Dr Ghura.

Dr Ghura was amazing. His method of the Mohs surgery made the removal of my cancerous growth, fairly simple, fairly painless and it has healed so you can't tell it has been done. His manner and explanation of the process makes you feel very confident and relaxed. I would recommend Dr Ghura to anyone who has skin cancer.

I was particularly impressed with Dr Ghura when at our first meeting for which I had been referred by another skin specialist for a BCC on my scalp, he immediately noticed another one on my nose that previously had not been mentioned. When I subsequently underwent the MOHS surgery, everything was explained in detail and the experience on the day and subsequently was significantly better than I expected.

Mr Damir Kosutic
Dr Ghura is a very knowledgeable and skilled dermatologist. He is one of the few Mohs Surgeons in the UK with particular expertise in mole checks, skin cancer, minor and advanced surgery. He is kind, understanding and caring. I would highly recommend him.
Dr Suchitra Chinthapalli
Dr Ghura is a much valued colleague which I have known for about ten years both in NHS and in the private sector. He is a very experienced dermatological surgeon and I have referred many patients (NHS and private) to him for Mohs surgery. In all my years of knowing him, I have never had negative feedback about his surgical skills and his professionalism. He is well regarded as one of the leading Mohs surgeon in our area. Mohs surgery is a very specialised skill and there is only a relatively small handful of Dermatologists who are trained in this area. He excels in this. I would gladly entrust my patients to his care; indeed I had previously had a benign lesion removed by him so I can definitely endorse his surgical and communication skills.
Dr Tsui Chin Ling
