Oxford Dermatology

I recently purchased this book.I am a Doctor with post graduate qualifications.nnI will suggest that this book is very basic.If you are planning dermatology training or higher education no point of buying this book.Also quality of paper and pic is average.

My GP only referred me to this clinic as we were really impressed by the reviews written about Dr Arif Aslam. However, when the clinic finally called me to make an appointment, they had advised that this doctor had unfortunately left but I was welcome to make an appointment with one of their other dermatologist which eventuated with my appointment today with Dr Harvey Smith. To say I was disappointed by my experience would be an understatement. Right from the start, he was dismissive, didn't bother to take a history (eg. what I've tried, triggers, medical conditions, etc) and when I did try to give him one, he made no attempt at eye contact and his body language clearly showed he was disinterested. 5 mins and I was rush out the door with most of that time being spent with him hiding behind the computer checking if there was an interaction with a regular medication that I was taking (as he didn't what it was) with the one he was about to prescribe.nnTo make matters worse, it was quite clear that he isn't up to date with the latest dermatological treatments and/or didn't know his prescription medication as when asked about soolantra, he tried to cover up the fact that he didn't know what it was by assuming it was just another brand of topical steroids and said it wouldn't be effective as it was drying. *face palm* I can't speak for the other dermatologist at the clinic, but GPs and future patients if you are in need of a good dermatologist, please stay clear of Dr HARVEY SMITH, the $215 fee is not worth the money.

Recently my melanoma returned after 15 years. For peace of mind yesterday I went to Oxford Dermatology for a 2nd opinion to have a consultation with Dr Arif Aslam. I was so impressed with his professionalism, extensive knowledge and caring persona. He was concerned about two of my moles and after our consultation I had two biopsies. Generally, this would have been a particularly stressful event ( especially after recently recovering from Melanoma surgical procedures elsewhere!) However, Dr Aslam's wonderful sense of humour and calming nature made it a breeze! His checkup of my moles was very thorough and honestly the most comprehensive one I've ever had. I can't thank you enough Arif - so relieved I've found you and you're certainly worth the journey from South of the river!nAndy :)

Dr Arif Aslam is a well qualified and professional dermatologist. He removed a BCC from my temple. I am happy with the Mohs surgery he performed and the post surgery care. Would highly recommend Dr Aslam. Thank you Dr Aslam.

Dr Aslam performed my surgery on my nose removing a BCC and I am very thankful to him, his experience, lovely caring manner and sense of humour. It was quite extensive surgery and my results are terrific. Dr Aslam I cannot thank you enough. If I ever need surgery again (hope not) I will be requesting a referral back to you.
