I cannot recommend Dr Anand highly enough. I was in a very worried state when I came to see him about a basal cell carcinoma on my face. I greatly appreciated both the time he took to listen to my concerns and to calmly explain the lesion and the (Mohs) surgical procedure to remove it. Thanks to Dr Anand and his excellent team at One Wellbeck, the procedure itself was straightforward and surprisingly painless. It is healing really well and the scar is subtle. I could not be more grateful for the expert care I received from Dr Anand.

I cannot recommend Dr Anand highly enough. He is a highly skilled surgeon who has carried out a facial procedure for me which is virtually invisible. Dr Anand has a charming manner with patients: he is welcoming and friendly and develops an instant rapport, setting the patient at ease and carefully listening to the patient's concerns. His expanation of options is clear and concise, and his post-treatment/consultation follow up letters are very helpful with clear guidance. I would not hesitate to recomment this consultant to friends and family alike.
