Mr Tom Okafor
“Every excision leaves a scar. My job is to decide where it goes and how fine it can be, and to tell you before, not after.”
00Profile
Tom, in the record.
Tom trained in dermatological surgery in Leeds and London and joined Oakwood in 2018 to build the minor operations room. He does every excision, shave, flap and graft here, and the PDT. He is fussy about scars in a way patients appreciate afterwards.
