PLEASE NOTE DR GHURA DOES NOT SEE ANY KIND OF RASHES, ALLERGIES OR HAIRLOSS

Dr Ghura has been a Dermatologist since 1997 and is always aware of the impact skin disease can have on patients. He trained in Medicine in Newcastle and Dermatology in Leicester before undertaking a Mohs Skin Cancer/Facial surgery fellowship in Cardiff and then Lisbon. He is one of approx 90 fully trained Mohs Surgeons in the UK and has recently been elected as the President of the British Society for Dermatological Surgery (BSDS) to which almost all UK Mohs Surgeons belong to.

Mohs' surgery is a highly specialist technique for removing difficult "non-melanoma" skin cancers (squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas ("rodent ulcers"). Dr Ghura set up the award winning Mohs' skin cancer service in Sheffield before moving to Salford Royal Hospital where he operates the largest Mohs service in the UK as Consultant Dermatologist and Mohs Surgeon.

Dr Ghura receives referrals not only from GPs but other specialists and colleagues for his opinion on managing Facial skin cancers and Mohs Surgery. Dr Ghura is regularly invited to give lectures and workshops to GPs and other specialists and trains Dermatology trainees and nurses.

Dr Ghura has a Masters degree in Medical Education and teaches other doctors about skin disease and has also been an examiner for the Royal College of Physicians for many years.

Explanation

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.

Explanation

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.

Explanation

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.

Explanation

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.

Explanation

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.

Dr Suchitra Chinthapalli

Dermatology
Is a colleague

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.
