URGENT: Is Dr Jaffer Khan actually a dermatologist?

I read a few posts on here saying that he is a certified dermatologist as well as being a plastic surgeon, so I went ahead and booked in with him to have a suspicious mole checked out. I've just been on his website though, and there's no mention of him being a dermatologist and he doesn't have any letters after his name to say he's a dermatologist (only plastic surgery/cosmetic surgery).

I'm due to go tomorrow... I tried calling them just now to ask them about this but they're closed. Can anyone confirm if he is a derm? Can he actually diagnose BCC or is he just recommended for removal of an already diagnosed one? I'm paying out of pocket, so I'd rather cancel and go to a derm for diagnosis if need be. Thanks :o)

He is very good, well respected, well qualified, been here a long time. You will be in safe hands. Any doctor who has survived in Dubai for many years has to be good, the crooks and cowboys don't last, Dubai patients are discerning IMHO. x

I was referred to him by my own Dr for the same reason. I can assure you he explains everything thoroughly and he avoids unessessary procedures. You cannot even tell I had facial stitches! I had friends who went to other gp dr's and they have more visible scars

HI I was recommended to see him by a Dr at DLC when I wanted to have some moles checked, he was excellent. It was just a routine check and he scanned over and there was one special one I was worried about and he said it was fine and just to keep an eye on it, he also explained alot about moles and put my mind at rest. So in my mind I think he is fine and I know he has always been highly recommended. To be honest I never checked for letters after his name and his qualifications I just took the Dr's recommendation and I would def go see him again ..... Good luck ;)
