The Specialist Care Hertford Needs, Without the Hospital Price Tag
If you live in Hertford, you are often forced to choose between long NHS waiting lists or expensive private hospitals in Harpenden or St Albans.
SML Surgical Care offers a third option. Located just 2.5 miles away at The Dolphin Medical Rooms in Ware, we provide:
- Consultant-Led Surgery: You are treated by a specialist surgeon, not a GP or skin therapist.
- Rapid Access: No referral needed. Be seen within 48 hours.
- Affordable Pricing: Our rates are significantly lower than large private hospital chains.
Specialist Treatments Available to Hertford Patients
Sebaceous Cyst Removal
The Treatment:
We provide complete surgical excision of sebaceous cysts. Unlike basic drainage (often offered by GPs), our consultant surgeons remove the entire cyst sac to significantly reduce the risk of it returning.
Common Questions:
Will the cyst grow back?
Because we are surgeons, we remove the entire sac capsule, not just the contents. This is the gold standard for preventing recurrence.
Can I have it removed on the same day?
Yes. For many patients, we can offer a ‘See & Treat’ service to save you multiple trips from Hertford.
Lipoma (Fatty Lump) Removal
The Treatment:
Lipomas are benign fatty lumps that can become uncomfortable or unsightly. We remove them under local anaesthetic using minimally invasive techniques to ensure the smallest possible scar.
Common Questions:
Is the procedure painful?
No. We use local anaesthetic to completely numb the area. You will be awake but will not feel pain during the surgery.
How much does it cost?
Our prices are fixed and transparent, often 30-50% lower than private hospitals in Harpenden or St Albans. Check our price list for details.
Mole Checks & Removal
The Treatment:
Whether you have a mole that is catching on clothing or you are worried about a change in appearance, we offer expert assessment and safe surgical removal.
Common Questions:
Do you test the mole for cancer?
Yes. As a safety-first medical clinic, we send lesions for histology analysis (biopsy) whenever necessary to rule out skin cancer.
Will there be a scar?
All surgery leaves a mark, but our Consultant Surgeons use plastic surgery techniques to ensure the scar is as faint and neat as possible.
Skin Tags & Warts
The Treatment:
Fast, effective removal of benign skin lesions that are no longer treated on the NHS. We use cryotherapy (freezing) or excision depending on the lesion type.
Common Questions:
How long does it take?
These appointments are very quick—often taking just 15-20 minutes.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly with us and avoid the wait.
