- I am very thankful to find Dr Ghazavi for treating my Daughter's acne. Very understanding and flexible with appointments. All round service. Cannot rate high enough. Many thanks -Gurung Family
- Everything was handled with great efficiency And staff all lovely.
- First class treatment. Dr Ghazavi was kind, responsive and highly professional with clear explanations and instructions. Large haematoma on leg has been drained and is healing well. Other skin issues also improving with the benefit of his advice. He was also the only medical professional able to diagnose and heal my partner's badly swollen and discoloured hand - took biopsy and identified photosensitivity and the drug responsible. My partner's hand has since fully healed.
- Dr Ghazavi is extremely professional and looked at my skin problems wholistically and very patiently. He prescribed a non steroid cream which worked wonders in a few days. He also suggested a skincare routine which I have used for a day and have already noticed how much more calming it is for my skin. He is very thorough and provides detailed information about treatment and diagnosis. I absolutely am very happy with his and his clinic's service.
- Please to see the top consultant for Venus Insufficiency.
- Very professional and knowledgeable
- Dr Ghazavi was excellent in treating my rosacea. Very professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring throughout the process. My skin has improved significantly and I finally feel more confident again. Highly recommended.
- Had to repeat the login details which had already been completed at home prior to the appointment, which takes time and is not in my opinion needed to be done again.
