Dr Cockburn did a skin graft due to removal of a bcc on my scalp. This followed by a flap procedure to remove the graft. It was amazing. I have full confidence in his talent which is also praised by my skin specialist. Id only go back to him.

Not good. I would strongly recommend seeking another opinion. I personally saw Dr William Cockburn at his office. His prognosis was to carry out excision during the consultation on area without consideration of a biopsy first. The result would have been significant scarring. His abrasive attitude and focus on inflated surgical procedure costs caused me concern so I sought a second opinion. A biopsy from the second Doctor revealed no extensive treatment would be required. Be your own judge however do the diligence and consider reviews first. I hope this helps somebody make an informed decision.

Rubbish no reviews!! He has probably taken them off as I have left a review and it was not good. Stay away.

In January 2019 I suffered an accident which resulted in a large ugly hematoma on my leg. I was referred to a Plastic Surgeon by my GP, however upon inspection he stated " 25 years ago I would have operated and carried out a skin graft, however not now" he referred me to another plastic surgeon who also elected not to proceed. I was then referred to Dr Bill Cockburn at Wesley Hospital Auchenflower. He inspected the area and operated that day to drain the hematoma. A couple of weeks later he again operated by way of a skin graft. It has now been just under 7 weeks and as you will see in the third photograph the grafted area has completely healed. The second photograph is following the operation with a peco device being used to vacuum seal the area.No stitches used. The first photograph was taken in the GPs surgery a few days after the accident. I would have no hesitation in recommending my friends, or for that matter anyone requiring expert plastic surgery to Dr Bill. Thank you very much for repairing my leg. Cheers Robert Wilmot
