Skin Checks
As a patient who has had several Basal Cell Carcinomas over the past few years and Dr Ben Aldridge treating me for my previous BCC I think it is a fabulous service that I can make a 6 monthly appointment for him to do a thorough skin check. Personally to me if anything does look suspicious it can be dealt with immediately and it alleviates any anxieties I have on whether something is suspicious on my skin or not.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Linda.
We're pleased to hear that our regular skin screening service with Dr Ben Aldridge provides you with both peace of mind and comprehensive care.
Having a consistent monitoring programme is indeed valuable for patients with a history of skin cancer, and Dr Aldridge's expertise in dermatology ensures thorough examinations and prompt management when needed. Your feedback about the importance of regular surveillance really resonates with why we established this service at Waterfront Private Hospital.
We appreciate your continued trust in our Edinburgh practice and look forward to supporting your ongoing skin health.

Thank you for this thoughtful feedback, Sarah.
We're pleased that Dr Katy Nassar provided you with such a thorough and honest consultation.
Your observation about her evidence-based approach really captures what we value here - providing informed recommendations based on medical knowledge rather than simply offering treatments. Dr Nassar's commitment to advising what's genuinely beneficial, rather than what might be unnecessary, reflects our practice philosophy perfectly.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Dermatology Review
Recently called Waterfront to enquire about some skin concerns I have and was immediately impressed with the Receptionist ( Danielle) who was friendly , informative , and extremely helpful , we arranged for me to pop in and she kindly took some pics of my skin issues so she could let the Consultant of my choice ( Ben Aldridge ) have a look and give me a rough idea on costs ect which was very helpful ! I chose Ben Aldridge as I had briefly met him at Lauriston Dermatolgy whilst accompanying a friend and we were both put at ease with his lovely manner !
Waterfront has a beautiful and calm vibe to it and you almost feel you are visiting a Spa !
Mr Aldridge dealt with my issues there and then which was great and although some samples were sent off to the lab for checking , I was pleased to hear that in his professional opinion there was nothing too concerning but this would confirm his thots !
I am absolutely delighted with the procedure and courtesy Mr Aldridge showed me and am healing quicker than I imagined It was worth every penny to get peace of mind from an experienced and highly regarded Consultant like Mr Aldridge to look over any dubious moles on my body caused by sun damage and get the all clear ! Absolutely recommend this! Thank you ! 🙏

Getting expert assessment for skin concerns is so important, and we're pleased you're healing well following your procedure. Peace of mind when it comes to sun damage and other dermatology issues really does make all the difference.
We appreciate your kind words about our facilities and the care you received. Thank you for recommending Waterfront Hospital.

Very positive visit.
Mr Kazem Nassar was very friendly and approachable which made me feel at ease immediately. He explained all my options clearly and took the time to answer any questions I had. I felt relaxed and confident that I was in the right hands.

Relaxed and Comfortable Experience
Kazem Nassar was very caring and approachable. He took the time to listen, explained what was going to happen, ensured the area was numb under local anaesthetic before starting. Apart from a slight discomfort with the local, there was no pain at all during with the procedure.
