  • I find Dr Paul Farrant totally excellent. He totally knows what he’s talking about, and I have had several squamous cell carcinomas removed by him and lesser legions given cryotherapy. He is very efficient and has a friendly manner.

  • Excellent experience with Dr. Farrant. I was able to secure a private appointment and treatment within a week. Dr. Farrant was professional, clear, and highly efficient. He performed a minor procedure under local anaesthetic on the spot with zero pain.
