Patient Reviews

"For years I had a few moles that irritated me. My first call was to my GP who confirmed they were not malignant, but the NHS does not provide the service of removing them. I decided to go to The Private Clinic lip lines filler іn Lingfield Harley Street whеre I met Dr Mark Lloyd and hiѕ assistant Cat Digregorio, ᴡho explained the mole removal procedure to me as well аs the cost. And the possibility to pay іn stages if that ᴡould work ƅetter witһin my budget. Тhe procedure ѡas booked fоr a fortnight later, and the operation waѕ done within half an hߋur. Tһе staff at the clinic aｒe so sweet ɑnd caring, and I ѡas loοked after by Elaine Meltzer. Ι highly recommend The Private Clinic." – Monique, Mole Removal Patient

"I had a cyst removed on cheekbone, I’m happy with the results, I strongly recommend The Private Clinic, special thanks to Mr Mouzakis and his team that helped me and treated my problem!" – Vasilis, Cyst Removal Patient

"I approached The Private Clinic for a mole removal and I’m really happy with the result. From the first consultation to the post operation check ups I was met by the friendly staff and the entire journey just went smoothly. I highly recommend The Private Clinic. Also a special thanks to Dr. Mark Lloyd, Cat, and the team for making the process comfortable." – Sarah, Mole Removal Patient

"I would highly recommend Dr Mouzakis if you are thinking of having surgery for cosmetic reasons. I am really happy with the results of the removal of my xanthelasma. He is really professional knows what he is doing and very kind friendly and patient doctor." – Bulutoglu, Lesion Removal Patient

"A few months ago I had a skin lesion removed from my left chin. I was treated respectfully throughout the whole consultation and treatment process. At all times I was kept fully informed what was happening and I received good advice. I have waited for a few months to write a review so that I could properly judge the result of the surgery. It has all gone well and I am delighted with the result. The lesion has gone and the site of the incision is almost invisible now. I would recommend Mr Mark Lloyd, Plastic & Ear Reconstruction Surgeon and I am grateful for the support of chaperone, Miss Sahera Begum. Both provided a high standard of care and I am grateful for their friendly and professional work." – Adrian, Lesion Removal Patient

"I had 2 large moles removed from my face which I was very nervous about. They all were so kind and professional throughout and helped with all the details so I fully understood all the aftercare and procedure. I’m so pleased with the results and can’t believe how simple and swift everything seemed to Mr Michael Mouzakis. I can’t remember the nurse’s name but she was an absolute star too! Thank you" – Michelle, Mole Removal Patient
