I've been seeing Dr. Jeremy Halfhide over the past year for advice and treatment following disfigurement from a rare skin infection. He's ultra conservative in approach, which doesn't always align with my risk appetite as I'm more results-oriented. Most clinics with him generally end in 'healthy debate'.

I dislike being lectured on risk without alternative proposals. The good thing about Dr. Halfhide is that he'll offer potential solutions along with explaining everything that can possibly go wrong in the worst ways to ensure I was fully informed, which I grudgingly appreciate.

To me, that signals he's incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in his specialty (being laser dermatology). I may not always agree with him in principle, but I can't deny that I've seen positive results following most of his advice and his sensibilities have ensured that I remain on the right side of the risk scale while we work towards addressing scars from infection and multiple surgeries.

His bedside manner can take some getting used to. If you're after risk-adjusted results and he believes he can help you, it's worth sticking it out. I've warmed up to him over time.

I'm aware of the financial history of SKN. I wasn't impacted as I became a patient after the group was acquired by Loreena Investments. I won't give any advice on how to navigate this issue. Personally, I've chosen to PAYG at this time. I have not discussed this with any of the doctors or staff at SKN.

Given my experiences, I can only recommend. If you're looking for a sensible, knowledgeable practitioner, it's worth exploring options with Dr. Halfhide and SKN Harley Street. Show less »
