Husband has suspected BCC on ear - having trouble getting an appointment with NHS

Hello, I am new to this forum and I’m looking for some advice.

Does anyone know of a private dermatologist in the south London area who will diagnose and treat skin cancer? If you are not allowed to post on here please send me a PM. I would very much appreciate it.

Husband has been referred to dermatology but due to strikes apparently, they’ve had no appointment slots available. So, we are considering going private, very reluctantly.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi. I understand your concerns. I had the same problem and was told I'd have to wait 3 months. I went private to a dermatologist in Bath. I realise this is not in your area but surely you could find one nearer to you and I would encourage you to do so. People told me to wait for nhs appointment but as I, had a melanoma previously I was too worried to leave it and glad I went private

Hi Gingers, thanks for your response. I was hoping that someone on here might be able to recommend a good private dermatologist. Rather than us just searching online and picking someone out. But I see that this forum isn’t that active, so unlikely. Many thanks for responding and sharing your experience. I hope you are doing well now?

We will look further into private treatment.

Hi Mr Whistled own. The name of my consultant dermatologist is Dr Buckley and she operates from the Sullis hospital. Please down st John. Bath. If you can't find a good one in your area I thoroughly recommend her if you're able to travel. Hope you get the help you need.
