Reviews
Mr Greg Knepil was very considerate and caring, very personable and I felt totally at ease. Great to know nothing to worry about.
Thanks also to Dr Stephen Pierini at Spa Medical in Cheltenham for the referral, who I also highly recommend.
My wife and I grew up in an industrial town 8 miles north of Manchester, where the risk of sun damage was not exactly a cause for concern. In the 1950s I spent a year of my National Service in Malta, including a month in the Libyan desert, whereas my wife was a member of a theatre company which toured Italy from Palermo to Trieste, So we were both accustomed to life in Mediterranean sunshine at an early age, but at a time when sun cream of any quality did not exist.
In the 1960s and 70s my job took us to Santiago de Chile and Sao Paulo, Brazil for some ten years in total, and, following that that experience, in recent years we have regularly taken holidays in southern Spain. Being Northerners with fair skins, we have always been well aware of the risk of sun damage and so have never been sunbathers; nevertheless involuntary exposure in warmer climes eventually caught up with both of us in recent years in the form of facial carcinomas – perhaps not surprisingly, given that it is the one part of the body which is always exposed.
We first met Mr Knepil about five years ago when my wife had a
carcinoma on the upper lip, just below the nose. It had to be removed and the
consultant we had been seeing specifically asked Mr Knepil to do the surgery because of the difficulty of its location and the need to ensure that the scar would be as invisible as possible. This involved (in layman’s language) a long incision from the chin to stretch the skin to enable the necessary skin graft on the upper lip.
The surgery was an outstanding success, so much so that there is no sign that it actually happened. We are grateful not only to Mr Knepil for his skill, but also to the consultant who passed the case to him – an introduction which has been much appreciated, now that both of us have had further facial carcinomas successfully removed by him.
Friendly and approachable manner and detailed in outlining the procedure, felt both well informed and comfortable. Thoroughly professional and considerate at all times. Very pleased with the result and follow up. No hesitation in recommending Mr Knepil
Dr Knepil has treated me on several occasions for facial wart removals in recent years. He has a very relaxing manner and strikes an excellent tone in terms of his empathy, clearly listening to my concerns. This is combined with a bright and spacious surgery and reception area that has ample spaced seats for the patients. His obvious experience is able to offer reassurance at what can be difficult times. My operations have healed quickly and l experienced no discomfort throughout my treatments.
He is backed up by a professional and easily approached team.
I had a lesion removed from my lower gum, and a biopsy, the result of which was negative. The area of the lower gum has healed up. Throughout the consultation and procedure I felt reassured, and that I could have full confidence in Mr. Knepil.
