I was referred to Dr Ghura by another Consultant Dermatologist. Dr Ghura is a specialist in Moh's surgery which I needed for a suspected basal cell carcinoma on left side of the bridge of my nose - an awkward position, close to the tear duct of my eye. Dr Ghura agreed Moh's surgery was an option but outlined the benefits and risks of that plus a second option of radiotherapy. When I expressed a preference for the Moh's surgery he explained clearly the impact , including the need for 2 weeks off work with no driving, extensive bruising and that complete healing would take ~4 months. The surgery was carried at the Everything Skin clinic which was a pleasant environment with friendly staff. I was at the clinic for almost 6 hours total. The surgery was under a local anaesthetic so I was awake throughout. There was mild discomfort when the local anaesthetic was injected. The surgery was pain free and I was comfortable throughout, Dr Ghura regularly checked if I was ok and explained what he was doing. When it came to stitching up, I needed a skin graft. Dr Ghura had said this was a possibility so i was aware of it, but I had not asked what it entailed, so I did feel a little uncertain at that point but Dr Ghura explained the additional procedure. The skin graft required additional local anaesthetic but again I did not feel any discomfort during the skin graft process or the stitching up. The left side of my face was covered in two dressings when I left the clinic and I was given clear instructions on how to manage with the dressings, when one could be removed by myself and the other was to be removed in clinic a week after the operation. The level of swelling and bruising I experienced was less than I had expected given the pre-op information. Having said that I was pleased he had been clear about 2 weeks off work as I did need that. The skin graft on my nose is very neatly done, I can tell that Dr Ghura has used his skill to follow the curves of my face/bone structure. I am 3 weeks post op currently but am already confident that over time the result will be good. Dr Ghura has given me clear instructions for how to care for the surgical areas for the next 2 months and I will then see him again.

The results of my operation are brilliant. All cancer has been removed with MOHs treatment and my scar is hardly noticeable after 3 weeks. I have had great care and advice.

From my initial consultation with Dr Ghura, through the period of my surgery and aftercare, he and his team were welcoming, explained the procedures clearly and were very thorough and professional. I felt I was in very safe hands and so it proved to be, as the results were better than I could have hoped for. I feared that there might be significant scaring to my face but Dr Ghura was able to clearly explain the time-scale to the minimum permanent visible scaring and so it proved to be. Friends and others say they would not be aware of any scaring, unless i pointed it out to them. A testament to Dr Ghura's skill and care.
