Excellent Service

I would highly recommend Southface Dermatology, Dr. Helen Robertshaw, and her team. I’ve had treatments over the year under Dr. Robertshaw’s care, all of which have gone well. Throughout the process, the team at Southface has been consistently professional.

Excellent service

After four appointments at my local doctor(s), none of which proved to be satisfactory. It was very reassuring to meet Dr Alice Plant, who advised of a suitable course of treatment. Overall an excellent service.

I would thoroughly recommend Southface

I would thoroughly recommend Southface. I was seen by Dr Alice Plant. She was excellent in all regards, not only providing a thorough check-up but also taking time to listen and provided thoughtful responses. She also gave reading material for post-appointment follow up.

I would highly recommend Southface Dermatology. Dr Helen Robertshaw is thorough and empathic, I have been seeing her for years now and I would not see anyone else. I actually travel from Brighton to Christchurch to see her, over 100 miles!

It may take time to gain a resolution.

I felt confident that the help I was receiving would hopefully solve my problems. It is too early at this stage to give a definite outcome. I do appear to have a spinoff from the initial treatment. This has manifested itself in a very itchy neck and chest. I am waiting now waiting for my next appointment with Dr Luna.
