City Dermatology Clinic is a London-based medical clinic providing assessment and treatment for a wide range of skin concerns, including the evaluation and removal of moles when clinically appropriate. Our work is led by consultant dermatologists and surgeons who carry out mole assessments and minor skin surgery as part of routine clinical practice, with care tailored to the individual and decisions guided by examination rather than assumption.
This page brings together mole removal reviews that reflect real patient experiences of our consultation process, clinical approach, and overall care by offering a clear, grounded perspective for those seeking informed reassurance from others who have attended the clinic with similar concerns.
For many people, mole removal is considered following changes in appearance, ongoing irritation, or uncertainty about a skin lesion. Due to sustained demand – with over 1,400 mole removal procedures carried out in recent years, around 60 appointments performed each month, and more than 500 skin cancer checks linked to mole assessments – a dedicated Mole Check Removal department was established to support structured assessment and treatment pathways. The feedback presented here is drawn from real patient experiences and reflects how individuals describe their consultations, procedures, and overall care, offering a practical view of what others have experienced when attending the department for mole-related concerns.
