I could not have had a better experience

"I could not have had a better experience"

About: Bideford Medical Centre North Devon District Hospital / Dermatology

(as a service user),

I needed to have some blemishes on my face and ear examined to ascertain the extent of the problem. It turns out that I have Basal Cell Carcinoma on the top of my right ear. This is a low grade skin cancer which will not spread around my body. I need to have a further procedure to ensure there is no residual tumour left that might grow in the future. I have an appointment already after only ten days since the original procedure. I am really pleased with the treatment I have received, both at my local surgery in Abbotsham Road, Bideford and at the Litchdon House Barnstaple Dermatology unit. I could not have had a better experience.

Dear Derek926,

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive feedback on Care Opinion.

I am sorry to hear you need to have the area re-excised, however, pleased to hear you already have the appointment for this to be carried out.

It is great you feel you have had a good experience through both Dermatology and your GP surgery.

Kind regards

Alicia
