Dr Vindy Ghura

I consulted Dr.Ghura about a growth on my right cheek just below my eye. He reassured me that it was a condition which could be treated with minor surgery under local anaesthetic and would involve removing the growth. There would be a scar visible after surgery but that it would diminish over the following three months or so. The operation was conducted exactly as indicated. Removal took no more than 10-12 minutes followed by a wait while the tissue was analysed. All was clear and the next stage, undertaken with great care, took 40-45 minutes of stitching the wound. The whole procedure took from 9.15 am to 12.30pm, just over 3 hours. I emerged with a substantial dressing and a bruised cheek. The dressing was removed 72 hours later. Stitches were removed by a nurse a week after the operation. I applied a cream obtained on prescription for the next fortnight. It is now 17 days since surgery and the wound/scar is barely visible-and probably what I expected it to be three months from now. Considering I had a total of 25 stitches (a substantial number internal) the outcome is remarkable. Very happy to recommend Dr. Ghura on the strength of his work with me.

From the first appointment Dr Ghura put me at total ease. His caring and compassionate manner shines through and nothing is too much trouble. Dr Ghura takes as much time as needed to thoroughly explain everything. Dr Ghura’s exceptional knowledge is clearly evident but he has the ability to explain things so simply to ensure I understood everything. It was no problem at all to take my daughter with me so that my forgettory did not forget to mention anything or forget to remember anything. Dr Ghura is just such a lovely, lovely person and will be my first port of call in future if I need him.

It was obviously a very worrying and scary time when I was diagnosed with a BCC right in the centre of my face, just above my lip. From the outset Dr Ghura displayed a quiet confidence, reassuring me and keeping me fully informed throughout.He is such a skilful surgeon that it is impossible to see where the cancer was. I am extremely grateful to him and would not hesitate in the least to recommend him to family and friends.

i have just had mohs surgery, and would assure anyone about to undergo that the experience was completed to my utmost satisfaction. Dr Gurha removed the growth and repaired the wound and after two weeks the scar healed and was nearly undiscernable.

A friend highly recommended Dr Ghura as she had some problems with skin issues. I had to see Dr Ghura for diagnosis on some blisters that appeared on my nose and an area that I assumed was a skin tag. Dr Ghura was pleasant and knowledgeable and explained that all 3 areas were solar keratosis and benign... all from sun damage. I had spent 24 years working outside - not abroad - but in the UK, I didn't wear a hat and only occasionally wore sun cream on my face. Treatment was with a chemotherapy cream over a month. The blisters responded to this treatment ..the other area did not. Subsequently I had to have a small operation to remove this Solar keratosis. This procedure was performed under local anaesthetic at The Alexander Hospital, by Dr Ghura. I was nervous because the remaining solar keratosis was at the side of the bridge of my nose and near my eye. Dr Ghura removed the solar keratosis so quickly..from start to finish the procedure took only 9 mins! I didn't feel any pain, the nursing staff present were wonderful and so kind, and Dr Ghura closed the area with stitches. I had worried unnecessarily. Dr Ghura explained what I needed to do following the surgery, what the likely after effects could be..black eyes, soreness etc, I did have a slight black eye, but no soreness. I religiously followed his after-op instructions and a week later the stitches were removed. After another two weeks the wound had totally healed and now you cannot see where the incision was made. Amazing! I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Ghura. And yes, I now apply Factor 50 especially on my face, and always in sunshine, rainy or cloudy weather. Plus a hat and sunglasses when necessary. I've learnt my lesson. So please, do not be worried re an op like this, you are under the care of a great man.
