Testimonials

Just a few comments from some of our patients: -

Dear Dr Ashworth
Many thanks for your speedy response and informative report. An excellent service and one which I will have no hesitation in recommending to other people.
Kind regards
J.S.T - online

Dear John Ashworth,
Thank you so much for this information, at last I have information that actually makes sense.
Just like to say I am really impressed with the service you are offering. When I went to see a dermatologist at the Hospital, there was a nurse taking pictures to send to the dermatologist anyway, so I never saw the consultant then and I had no explanation of what it 'could be' or likely to be so I am more than happy with this report and fee.

Thank you

Dear Dr. Ashworth,
Thank you for your report. I congratulate you on your project and am sure that your service will be most welcome by many people. I simply looked on the internet when the earliest available appointment with my GP Practice was for mid April and am glad I found you web pages.
Kind Regards , JI, by email

Dear Dr. Ashworth,

Thank you so much for my prompt and thorough assessment! It gave me lots of ideas and encouraged me to look more carefully into potential external causes. After a week of looking very carefully at everything I was in contact with I realised my hands react to the cosmetics I use to treat acne. I also noticed that in my sleep I tend to slide my hands between my face and the pillow. The rash on my eyelid has nearly disappeared, and my hands are much calmer now. Thanks again for your help, really appreciated! All the best,
D. by email

Dear Dr.Ashworth
Thank you for the consultation, which has left me fully informed, and much reassured about my condition.
yours sincerely

Many Thanks Dr. Ashworth, Glad you think it can be zapped. I hope it only takes one zap.
Will gladly reccommend your clinic as I had such a great result on the pigmentation marks at the Alex (hospital) all those years ago.
