About me
Dr Rakesh Patalay is a Consultant Dermatologist and Dermatological Surgeon at Guys and St Thomas Hospital in London. He has particular expertise in skin cancer diagnosis and management, Mohs micrographic surgery, lasers treatment, skin imaging, cosmetic dermatology and acne scarring.
He no longer sees minors or general dermatology unless his expertise are specifically requested by another healthcare profession.
"I have always strived to be an expert across multiple fields within dermatology. This level of expertise gives me the confidence that I offer the best individualised care possible."
At Guys Hospital, he is part of the largest dermatology surgery & Mohs surgery service in the Southeast, the regional laser service and the first skin imaging service for the NHS.
He is currently the joint clinical lead for dermatology at Guys Hospital, lead for the skin cancer, regional lead for teledermatology and lead for an internationally recognised diploma in Dermatology. He teaches dermatology both in the UK and abroad. He is also the current president of the British Cosmetic Dermatology Group.
Furthermore his experience in general, surgical and laser dermatology both in the NHS and privately places him amongst a select few practicing cosmetic dermatology with this breadth of expertise.
He acquired his MBBS from University College London Medical School, BSc in Neuroscience from UCL, PhD in optics and skin imaging from Imperial College London and his Mohs and cutaneous lasers fellowship at St Johns Institute of Dermatology. An overseas internship was awarded in applied biophotonics and laser dermatology at the prestigious Beckman Laser Institute, University of California Irvine, USA.
