He has since expanded into the Spencer Wing based in the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital in Margate . The practice continues to grow as demand for skin and cosmetic treatments increase. Due to significant expansion,in 2003 we acquired a newly refurbished building in Castle Street in Canterbury, which offers a comfortable environment in which to provide modern and comprehensive skin care, unique to this part of Kent.
