Well, it was all brilliant but.....the notes made at reception didn’t make the doctors system by the time I arrived upstairs and so had to repeat some. Since making the follow up appointment I have been emailed to see if I want to make another appointment, so felt a little disorganised. The treatment though and the advice...brilliant.

profile
Dr Veronique Bataille sees Patients with all dermatological conditions and specialises in skin cancers, melanoma, familial melanoma, atypical nevi and family cancer syndromes.
Dr Bataille trained at the Louvain Medical School in Brussels and graduated in July 1985 with Magnum Cum Laude. She started her dermatology training at St John's Institute of Dermatology Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust London in 1989. Dr Bataille then moved to the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London and The Royal London Hospital as a Clinical Research Fellow where she completed her PhD on the genetic epidemiology of skin and eye melanoma in 1995.
She spent many months in 1993 at the Sydney Melanoma unit in Australia, one of the busiest in the world and then moved to St George's Hospital London where she spent two years as a Senior Registrar again working in the pigmented lesions and melanoma clinic.
Veronique became a Consultant Dermatologist in 1996, when she was appointed Senior Lecturer and Honorary Consultant Dermatologist at Barts and The London School of Medicine, where she continued her interest in the genetics of melanoma and other skin cancers. Dr Bataille now practises at West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust where she provides specialised care for Patients with acne + eczema + psoriasis + moles + skin cancers.
In 2003 she was appointed Consultant and Advisor to the internationally known L'Oreal Paris. Dr Bataille has published in numerous dermatology, genetic and cancer journals and regularly writes reviews and book chapters on skin cancer and other aspects of dermatology. She is currently Assistant Editor of the Clinical and Experimental Dermatology journal.
You can learn more about Dr Bataille on her personal website and you can read her blog posts. And she has commented on an article on the genetic risk for skin cancer published by the BBC.

Me and my partner went to see Dr Bataille for a general check, and we're both extremely happy with the way both our appointments went through. She's just perfect, she listens, she takes all the time needed to examine your skin and to answer all the questions you ask. And most of all, she's very gentle and you feel in the safest hands. She's a gem!

Please accept my thanks for your prompt attention to my case. As someone with a fair complexion and a life lived outdoors, I am well aware of the potential for skin cancer and find reassurance in these results. How often should I schedule examinations with you to monitor my skin conditions, especially for suspicious lesions of this sort or any others of a similar nature? With gratitude for your professional and courteous service.

Dr Bataille was one of the doctors recommended to me by my Insurers. I read her bio and reviews and Dr Bataille was my first choice. I saw reviews which mentioned how she is able to reassure the patient by both her very pleasant personality and more importantly the fact that she was clearly knowledgeable and inspires confidence.
