- I had a mastectomy with DIEP reconstruction and received exceptional care from start to finish. Miss Mughal was professional, reassuring, and took the time to make me feel confident and fully informed throughout. I’m absolutely delighted with the results. I felt supported every step of the way and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
- Excellent surgeon, so happy with the outcome and would highly recommend!
- I saw Miss Mughal about a lipoma on my forehead. At the initial consultation she explained clearly what form the treatment would take. The procedure itself took place at The Shard and was remarkably quick and easy. I returned for a follow up a week or so later where it was confirmed that the lipoma was benign. I would thoroughly recommend Miss Mughal.
