Briiliant Treatment for 96yrs old Lady

My 96yrs old mother has now had three minor facial skin cancers, and one leg lesion removed by Dr Helen Robertshaw and her team. Mother visited Dr Luna yesterday and was put at her ease as her new lump was quickly diagnosed as non cancerous. The whole team is professional and efficient, but most of all they are friendly to their worried patients. Thank you all for your kindness to my mother.

Happy and comfortable service

From booking my first appointment to the treatment given over the past 3 months has been first class.
My thread veins were getting worse with age but because these are to be removed from my face it’s not something i easily chose to do.
However, Nurse Amanda was brilliant and explained everything but was also very careful.
I am so happy with the result and if needed again i will definitely go back to Southface.

I saw Dr Alice Plant yesterday for a condition on my face that had progressed and been brushed off by my GP. I was diagnosed with perioral dermatitis which I wasn't surprised about after having done a lot of research on Google. I've just started my treatment today. I also had s skin lesion to be checked which hadn't got any bigger since noticing it in September. She explained it was a Seborrhoeic Keratoses and gave it a couple of blasts of Cryotherapy. I was assured this was nothing to worry about. In fairness my GP had told me to watch it for a 3 month period to monitor for any changes and he didn't think it was anything to worry about.
Dr Plant was so lovely. Giving me recommendations on best mineral suncream to use on my face for a forthcoming holiday. I was listened to and Dr Plant had a nicer manner and made me feel reassured more than any other doctor I've ever met. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use her services again. Thank you.

Dr Robertshaw found a suspect lesion which I was unaware of and suggested removal which I had yesterday. Efficient and completely painfree.

Efficient and professional

I have been coming to this practice for 3 years and have always had a professional and efficient service.

I have issues with potentially cancerous moles. I regularly see Dr Martin who is very thorough and always follows up with notes and advice.
I chose to go private as I can actually book prompt appointments and not have to wait around. Southface has delivered on all counts. Thanks
