"Dermatology review"

I've been under the care of Dermatology dept for longer that I care to remember, they have seen me through decades of treatment for Psoriasis, every treatment option from low level topical creams, to PUVA light therapy, oral drugs and biologic injections. My condition is currently 100% after a bit of a bumpy road over the last couple of years. During that time I've received excellent advise, care and treatment from Dr Malone and Gillian, Dermatology Clinic Nurse. 

Firstly I want to mention Dr Malone holds regular clinics at Galloway Community Hospital which saves me a 4 hour round trip and 150 mile drive to Dumfries. I think all credit to him for taking this approach and understanding the needs of patients in the West of the region. 

Secondly, when I saw him for recent review, he took the time to listen to my questions and concerns and explained and reassured me about the drug I am currently taking. He's been my Dermatologist for a long time now so we have a good rapport, but I think he's honestly like this with all his patients. I trust him and I know he is committed to finding the safest and most efficacious treatment for me. My recent review appt was excellent and I left feeling, reassured and confident in treatment plan as so often you leave consultant appointments and find yourself back out in the corridor, a bit shell shocked, leaflet in hand, not quite sure what happened, what you'd been advised or agreed to. 

I just wanted to take to time to feedback he's a five-star legend!
