He is a kind approachable professional an outstanding doctor , I can’t think of words good enough to describe him I can with great conviction recommend him to everyone who may find themself in his fabulous care.

Dr Ghura is very easy to talk to, he has a lovely mannner and explains everything clearly. He answers questions and goes the extra mile, checking other areas, not just recent surgery. From the outset the process was clearly explained, I was shown photographs of different stages of procedure and recovery which was very reassuring.

Dr Ghura is highly skilled in MOHS surgery, with a very pleasant and friendly manner. I have been delighted at the results of his MOHS surgery with his removal of several facial Basil-Cell Carcinomas (Cancer). We are fortunate he lives and practices in the North West. I highly recommend Dr Ghura .

When I first rang up to see Dr Vindy, within a week I had an appointment and he immediately diagnosed my condition and booked me in with a very good plan to operate within a week after I first saw him. His surgical skills, compassion, empathy and kindness were amazing. His Moh's surgery was excellent at a private clinic near the Alexander Hospital and it was worth every penny of the fees. Instead of waiting a year for treatment on the NHS with all the worry that would entail and the possible growth further of the BCC's , it was all expedited within a month the operation and the follow up care at the Alexander Hospital was excellent in the next 6 months to make sure the wounds healed up according to plan. After 7 months I have just been signed off. I can't thank Dr.Vindy enough for his care and professionalism. His medical and professional care were the best.

I had a basal cell carcinoma removed from near my temple. From my first appointment with Dr Ghura he explained the best way to remove it, why and exactly how he would do it. He showed me other 'before and after pictures' so that I knew what sort of thing to expect. On the day it was removed he once again went through what would be happening and made sure everything was clear and that I was happy. Aftercare advice was given and follow up appointments to check recovery. Recovery was pretty quick and a few months on there's hardly any marks at all.

I was immediately put at ease by Dr Ghura and his staff. Everyone explained what was going to happen and were extremely kind and attentive.

I recently attended Dr Ghura's clinic as I had a small lesion which had appeared on my forhead. Dr Ghura advised a biopsy which I was extremely nervous about. Dr Ghura is very professional and has a very calm manner and was very reassuring throughout the whole procedure making me feel at ease. He explained everything throughly and was very informative throughout. I would highly recommend Dr Ghura.

I am so pleased that Dr Ghura has been able to do my MOHS surgery. Not only was the procedure itself quick and painless, but the aftercare has been clear, supportive and successful. The overall outcome is better than I hoped for! I absolutely recommend Dr Ghura and his team for this treatment.

DermatologyDr Ghura is a much valued colleague which I have known for about ten years both in NHS and in the private sector. He is a very experienced dermatological surgeon and I have referred many patients (NHS and private) to him for Mohs surgery. In all my years of knowing him, I have never had negative feedback about his surgical skills and his professionalism. He is well regarded as one of the leading Mohs surgeon in our area. Mohs surgery is a very specialised skill and there is only a relatively small handful of Dermatologists who are trained in this area. He excels in this. I would gladly entrust...
