Back in 2013/14, I was treated for a basal cell carcinoma on my scalp.
I felt in very safe hands from the first appointment with him at Bodmin, through two separate operations at Derriford under general anaesthetic (firstly to remove the carcinoma and cover with a temporary skin graft, and secondly to remove the graft and remodel my scalp to permanently cover the area) and beyond into after care with a specialist dressings nurse.
They answered all my questions, both rational and irrational, very humanely. and my wife was given a really great overview of how to dress my wound on a daily basis between the two operations, as well as all the supplies we'd need.
Overall, we really can't praise the care I received highly enough.
"Professional, kind and considerate"
