Dr S Walayat Hussain

Written by a patient at Chapel Allerton Hospital

I am extremely grateful to Dr Hussain and his team for what they have done for me and the way they did it. Like many others who have left comments on this website I had a BCC on my face. Unfortunately I also have an extreme aversion to the whole concept of surgery (anywhere on my body, let alone my face) and all it entails (sharp implements, anaesthesia, loss of control etc). Abject terror is probably an appropriate description of what I felt having being told what needed to happen, such that I was considering different options including no surgery at all. After meeting Dr Hussain I decided to have Mohs surgery under local anaesthetic with a bit of extra chemical help. I have not regretted that decision for even a moment. I credit Dr Hussain’s manner, confidence and professional approach with enabling me to make that decision. It is true that my surgery day will not feature on the list of the 10 best days of my life but it passed with far less distress than I ever dreamt possible, courtesy of Dr Hussain and his team. I cannot thank them enough for that. It is now a month since the procedure. I have received first rate follow up care and, such was the skill of his reconstructive surgery I have every reason to believe that in the near future most people I meet will struggle to see much evidence of my having had the procedure. Should I ever need to have similar treatment in the future I will have no hesitation in asking to see Dr Hussain again.

I have been a patient of Dr Hussain for a couple of skin related issues with the most recent being the removal of a low form of skin cancer known as a squamous cell carcinoma. Unfortunately a few weeks later I then developed something very similar and made the very next appointment to see Dr Hussain, what he saw baffled him but he knew it had to be removed. After looking at his very busy schedule he managed to see me the very next day (before his clinic actually started) and after 40 mins in threatre it was gone. In all my appointments I've found Dr Hussain to very understanding of my worries and concerns and he's always made me feel relaxed and confident that I'm in safe hands. He also took care to ensure that my scars were extremely neat given that he'd removed part of a recent personal tattoo I'd gotten.

Having listened to and mulled over the possible scenarios which might unfold during the process of removing a basal cell carcinoma from the crease of my nostril, I arrived at the hospital steady and calm but inwardly filled with apprehension. By early afternoon, with the most enormous dressing dominating my face, I was cancer free and overwhelmingly grateful for the sense of peace and reassurance which had pervaded my day. There were small moments of humour and an easy , confident yet relaxed atmosphere throughout in the treatment room .I am forever grateful to have been referred to Dr Walyat Hussain, and equally grateful for the two wonderful nurses and the staff, unseen by me, who worked diligently in the laboratory, on samples sent for analysis.I am now an avid ambassador for MOHs surgery and my splendid outcome.

I have seen Dr Hussain on many occasions for over a year since removal of a stage 1 melanoma. He is a very calm and professional dermatologist who listens to what you have to say and gives detailed examinations. Any anxiety you have is relieved. His secretary Emma also gets back with any questions you may have quickly. I would highly recommend Dr Hussain for any dermatology problems.

A huge thank you to Dr Hussain for treating my severe acne, I cannot recommend him highly enough. When I came to see Dr Hussain I was incredibly low and thought I would never get rid of my acne. He immediately made me feel at ease, was easy to talk to and was the first medical professional to give me hope! I had a course of Roaccutane, which I was apprehensive about, however, Dr Hussain put my mind at rest and assured me I would be monitored and well cared for. I'm now in my final month of Roaccutane and I'm happy to say it has worked brilliantly for me, with minimal side effects. Thank you Dr Hussain for all your help and advice. I feel like a different person!
