About your surgeon

Dr Cathryn Dillon is a GP partner here at Cranlegh Gardens Medical Centre.

Prior to her conversion to general practice she trained in plastic surgery and related specialties for a number of years.

She continues to provide more complex skin cancer surgery for the NHS that would otherwise require specialist hospital treatment.  Skin cancer patients from accross Somerset benefit from her high level skin surgery skills which is translated to excellent cosmetic results. 

What to expect from your surgery

All surgical procedures are performed in our minor surgery suite at the practice under local anaestetic. This means that area will be numbed using a fine needle injection but you will be able to talk to us throughout your procedure or listen to music if you wish. We know that patients may be nervous so we will ensure that you are made to feel as comfortable as possible.
