This Dr runs his practice professionally and proficiently.The staff are thorough and knowledgeable. They inform you of every detail via email before your consultation, welcome you ensuring all Covid protocols are met and when you leave they provide you all the information you need for your aftercare.Dr Moodley himself is meticulous.He scans your entire body without any uncomfortable or awkward feeling. He does not miss a spot (literally). If there is a need for a biopsy, he does it right then and you have the result ASAP. There is no time wasted with referrals and waiting for appointments.If you need a Dr who cares about your skin’s health, Dr Moodley with his no-nonsense approach and vast expertise is where you need to go.

Dr Moodley runs a very professional practice and is the best dermatologist that I have seen in the past 15 years. He is very thorough and takes time to explain the issues to me. He also helped to sort out an issue that had been misdiagnosed for at least 10 years. His office staff are also very polite and friendly.

I have been a patient with Dr Moodley for the past 8 years. He is very knowledgeable and always very kind & helpful. My skin condition was very bad when i went to him the first time and it improved wonderfully within a very short space of time. Ever since then, my condition has been stable & well under control thanks to the treatment he prescribed. I highly recommend Dr Moodley to everyone

I have been seeing Dr Mahendran for a year now. Wish Id met him sooner, so much money spent on aestheticians and beauticians with no results! Hes thorough, took all my other health conditions into consideration to come up with the best solution for me. If sound medical advice and patience isnt your thing, go somewhere else where your skin will be ruined and your money wasted. Then, when youre ready to actually get better, you know who to call.

I am a new patient of Dr Moodley and just from the 2 appointments I have seen him, I can tell he is very knowledgeable and an expert in his field.I would definitely recommend to anybody looking to see a dermatologist.

I had a very disappointing experience with Dr Moodley. Without doubting the medical expertise, the way to manage a patient is often condescending and completely lack any firm of empathy. I didnt expect that given the premium rates being charged. This is a v transactional practice which leads to a very poor patient experience. It was an easy decision to look for another dermatologist.

Have been going to see Dr Moodley for the past 5 years for skin cancer screening etc when I’m in Cape Town and he is brilliant at what he does. He is thorough and current with the latest advances in his field. My opinion is based on having visited a number of dermatologists over the years both in SA and abroad due to having fair skin, a family history of skin cancers and spending a lot of time surfing. A word to the wise: as can be seen from the 1 star reviews, he can very direct, which I appreciate, but if you are sensitive best remember that he is the expert and just let him do his job, the peace of mind after having been thoroughly checked by him is well worth it.

Hi i saw Dr Mehendran Moodley 1 month ago. I had a scalp problem which was troubling for 2 years. Tried all sorts of remedies. Was recommended by a friend to see Dr Moodley. What an amazing experience i had visiting his rooms. He was kind, caring and made me feel as ease. He did not just treat the scalp, he did a biopsy to get to the root of the problem and i can truly say that 1 month later my scalp is healed and i feel fabulous. Need to go back in 3 months for a check up. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Moodley to my friends, family and anyone that asks if i know a good Dermatologist. Sandra Scarlett

Dr Mahendran Moodley is the greatest dermatologist who is so humble and so eager to help his patients. He explains in detail so that you can understand what’s going on with you skin.I went all the way from Rustenburg in the North West to Cape Town just to consult him. And I didn’t regret going over 1500 kilos to see him because since I started seeing him, my skin problem is way much better. I was losing hope that I will never be better but Dr Moodley made me regain my strength and hope that I will be much better 1 day.Thank you so much Dr. Keep doing the greatest job🙏

I have undergone 6 months post cardiac surgery consultation with Dr Moodley. I received excellent and clear advice, from the initial examination through my course of effective follow-up treatments. Dr Moodley and his team put you at ease, efficient and are very caring. I am UK/SA based, and had minimal post -surgical follow-up in the UK, so I have been enormously grateful for Dr Moodleys attention. I have had every reassurance that the advice and treatment given is in my best interest and very pleased with the results.

Review №13

Undoubtedly the best in his field! Ive been going to Dr Moodley for about 5 years, hes been treating my buffet of skin conditions. Im not a patient person, I want things fixed immediately and as such I love spent a bomb on pigmentation treatments at institutes with no results, if anything they made my skin worse. Dr Moodley has a method. Its a marathon not a sprint (which is painful if youre like me and want a quick fix😅) but hell its worth the wait. Its a careful process of ticking all the boxes slowly and safely. Dr Moodley builds a relationship with his clients, his consultations are quick and effective and you know youre being looked after. I would highly recommend Dr Moodley, careful, caring and knows what he is doing.

Dr Moodley is an excellent dermatologist who balances an extensive scientific knowledge and precision with a deep care for the emotional and holistic well-being of his patients. To me, this is particularly clear as a returning patient. He is detailed, thorough, calm, efficient and accurate, and someone with whom returning patients can build a strong sense of trust. The blend of scientific skill and genuine, empathetic concern is what makes him stand out among other doctors.

Review №16

I have been visiting Dr Mahendran Moodley for approximately six years, after a recommendation from my dentist who noticed what looked like a basal cell carcinoma above my upper lip. Dr Moodley performed Mohs surgery to remove the BCC, which was very big as it had been growing for years. Dr Moodley amazingly left practically no scar at all. At all my annual follow-up visits, Dr Moodley has always been extremely efficient, but compassionate at the same time. I always leave the surgery with my mind at rest - thank you Dr Moodley.Heather Hughes (Mrs)

Dr Moodley saved my life and I am forever grateful to him and his team for taking such excellent care of me. On my very first visit to Dr Moodley he identified a mole on my back which he was concerned about, he told me it had to be removed and that he would like to remove it that same morning, to avoid me having to return later and worry about the procedure. He really acted this swiftly (without alarming me until he had the biopsy results) because he knew how dangerous it would be to delay the removal. At first I was scared but he spent time explaining the possibilities that I would have to deal with and at every stage, I felt informed and empowered. He conducted the procedure to remove the mole in his rooms, with his assistant comforting me and holding my hand through out. A week later and the results from the biopsy showed that the mole he had removed had stage 1 melanoma. I was immediately referred to a plastic surgeon and within 10 days of visiting Dr Moodley, the area around the melanoma had also been removed and I received the good news that Dr Moodley had actually removed all of the cancer in his rooms. My lymphs were cancer free. Who knows what a couple days might have meant for me if he had not acted as swiftly. Since then I have visited Dr Moodley every 3 months and despite my experience which was obviously scary, I find so much comfort visiting him and knowing that he is the best and I am in good hands. His after care is meticulous, he is always up to date with my oncology reports and without needing to be, he takes an interest in my life and how I am generally dealing with life after melanoma. It took a long time for me to be comfortable being outside and Dr Moodley helped me get there ensuring that any outdoor exposure I have is safe. Forever grateful for this wonderful man.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Moodley’s for over three years and cannot think of ever seeing another dermatologist! Dr. Moodley’s expertise with all different skin types is unparalleled and his patient interaction is also exceptional. His in-depth knowledge of his field makes it seem almost intuitive, and his calm and relaxed and reassuring manner is exactly what one needs when visiting a medical professional. He is a leader in his field, both in terms of qualifications as well as his approach to patient care. I can not recommend him enough! Plus, his front office staff are highly professional and friendly and always on top of things, which makes the experience easy and efficient. If you need a dermatologist in Cape Town, Dr. Moodley is who you should go to - without question.

I dont normally post reviews, but I was really surprised to see some of the negative reviews for Dr. Moodley. I went to see Dr Moodley after a random person walked up to me in the street and told me to get a mole on my arm checked out. Dr Moodley was incredibly informative and efficient. He moved around his schedule to fit me in the day after my first exam so we could remove the moles immediately. He got me my results and less than a week and came in before opening hours the next day so he could fit me in for a consult on my results. Dr Moodley AND his staff were incredibly comforting and supportive to me throughout the process. The nurse and reception staff made sure I understood everything and called to check-up on me after the procedure. My experience has been very positive with Dr Moodley and I would happily recommend him to others.

Ive been going to Dr Moodley for almost a year now and the experience has been well worth it. My condition has been well managed and Ive been well-informed.

Im a busy person, so the efficient consults really work for me. In and out and straight to the point as an expert should. Thank you for the great service.

Dr Moodley treated me with expert care when I had skin cancer on my nose last year. He performed the specialised Mohs surgery with excellent results. I have continued to be treated by him for other skin conditions. I find Dr Moodley and his staff to be warm, caring and empathetic and they share my sense of humour. I also appreciate that Dr Moodley is an absolute perfectionist in his work and I want that type of person to treat my skin cancer and other skin conditions. The staff and office is run efficiently and is highly organised which I also appreciate as a busy professional. Thanks for the excellent care again today.

I would recommend Doctor Moodley to anyone fighting acne or any sort of skin problems.Ive been attending doctor for the last 2 years and was worthit, skin keeps improving and I can openly speak to. Doctor about anything regarding my skin, he has good knowledge and sense of humour when. It comes to consulting also looks for the most cost effective treatments when prescribing any sort of treatment. Consultation with never feels like 15minutes maybe because he makes u feel home. Highly highly recommend doctor as Im still attending compared to all. Other dermatologists Ive tried Ive only seen results the last 2 years. Keep up the great work doctor and admin team!!!

I have been a patient of Dr Moodley from 2013 and I acknowledge his understanding and devotion towards his work.He has been instrumental in helping me deal with a few medical and skin conditions ranging from hormonal acne, scarring to a splinter hemorrhage.After countless purchases of the most expensive products and painfull aesthetic procedures, only Dr Moodley was able to help me by identifying the root cause of my issues, what works with my skin and what does not.I have learnt (the hard and expensive way) that there is no easy substitute for good professional advice.Dr Moodleys diagnosis are accurate and his skin care plan is realistic with customisable solutions.Dr Moodley is definitely a leader in his field!

Dr Moodley has been treating my gran for the past 2 years with the utmost care and patience.

I have had a variety of procedures done at Dr Moodleys practice and I am always highly impressed with his calm, professional efficiency, combined with a warm and caring approach. I also very much appreciate the fact that Dr. Moodley is very conscientious about following up and providing the relevant, honest feedback that is needed. I also have nothing but praise for Dr. Moodleys assistants, who add that special, friendly touch to a visit at Dr. Moodleys practice.

Review №34

Ive been struggling with my skin since I was 15(the moment I started high school) and Dr Moodley has really helped me in those 15 minutes of our consultation than any other dermatologist Ive been to thoughout the years. He helped understand what may be causing my acne and the science behind it, Im not a patient person I want things to be fixed immediately especially when it come to my skin and as a result from that I have spent a lot of money on creams and such that gave me no results, and if anything theyve made my skin worse, so he really also helped me understand that patience is key when I comes to the skin and seeing results. Also its always important to listen to the doctor, otherwise you wont know what to do and you may not see the results that you want.I would highly recommend Dr Moodley cause he knows what he is doing.

Review №36

I booked to see Dr Moodley after reading glowing reviews. My experience, unfortunately, didn’t reflect this glowing praise at all. I found Dr Moodley to be incredibly condescending and brusque, and he spoke to me like a child who had no prior knowledge of her own body or condition. The 15 minute appointment time is ridiculous. I was made to feel like I was inconveniencing him if I asked any questions of my own, and left with a diagnosis and absolutely no guidance as to how to manage this. Having found a wonderful dermatologist since, my advice is - don’t waste R1000 on 15 minutes of being spoken down to! Not worth it

Review №39

Very professional, efficient and warm receptionists however...Being aware of the doctors 15 minute consultation limit, I made sure to document my issues on my phone so as to not waste any time during the consult. I asked as many questions as I possibly could to understand my condition however my questions were met with resistant and to some extent belittling. The dermatologist is very skilled and knowledgeable, no doubt, but its almost as if, if you as a patient also come in with some knowledge and history of your own body (I am a Human Physiology graduate), he belittles you, frowns upon your questions and is rude. Also, when I rightly asked about the sanitation procedures they were undertaking in the office to help prevent COVID, I was told that I was being too anxious.Overall, for a 15-minute appointment that costs R1000 and is not fully covered by medical aid, it really isnt worth. Go find another dermatologist.

Wishing to thank Dr Moodley for hes expertise and professional advise on how to treat my skin allergies. From day one when he diagnosed my type of eczema and started treatment 15months ago, my skin has improved tremendously and after the first 3 days of treatment noticed a huge change. I followed hes instructions and used the medication exactly how he described and has been given a new look on life. I thank him from the bottom of my heart and will highly recommend him anytime to all my family and friends. The best professional 5 star treatment I ever received. Worth every penny.

I have been going to Dr Moodley for 3 years now as I need to have the extensive sun damage to my skin checked regularly. Dr Moodley is the best dermatologist I have been to over the many years that I have been seeing dermatologists. He is exceptionally caring and is obviously expert in his field. He recently removed a basal cell carcinoma from my nose - he took time to explain my options and what he thought would be the best course of treatment and he took pains to explain the different outcomes that I could expect. I felt I could truly make an informed decision about the procedure. I am very very pleased with the outcome. He is an exceptional doctor and I feel that I have the best of care at his practice.

I have been going to Doctor Moodley for almost 5 years now. I’ve been to countless dermatologists and they have always misdiagnosed me. I didn’t understand why my skin wasn’t getting better. The first time I met with Doctor Moodley he looked at my skin and immediately told me what was wrong. It was a sigh of relief after all these years. He helped me have a prominent understanding of my condition and we worked together as a team in order to conquer it. Over the years Doctor Moodley and I have created a great relationship and he always has my best interests at heart. All in all I would describe him as respectful, professional and kind.

I have been a patient of Dr Moodley since 2013. I have trusted a variety of different skin related issues to him and cannot be happier. He is smart and passionate.He considers the impact of his prescription against both the skin problem as well as the impact on one’s day to day life.He thinks long term, he thinks preventative, he identifies and treats risks early on.He is exactly what I want and need in a doctor who is meant to take care of and advise you on how to treat your biggest organ in your body.I gladly visit him every six months, knowing that I get a doctor who cares, who continues to learn and educate others.His staff are just the loveliest. I never miss an appointment due to forgetting as they have a double fail safe mechanism for reminders. They respond promptly to emails, they are always friendly and courteous and they seem to work well together as a team.Thank you Fahmeedah & Lauren. Doctor is lucky to have you in his team.

I have had a chronic skin condition for the last 14 years and have visited dermatologists in multiple countries. In my opinion, none of them take the time to understand the patient, my expectations and work with you as collaboratively as Dr Moodley. His vast knowledge is complemented by his network of professionals ( academic and field) that make you feel like you are in the best hands possible. His treatment is always as non-invasive as possible to make it live able and achievable for results. Definitely the best dermatologist I have visited.

After struggling with a nail infection/disease/extreme brittleness and no-growth of my nails for more than 6 years, I was referred to Dr Moodley 6-months ago. From the get go, he was extremely informative about my condition. Not only did he spend hours doing research on my behalf, he also sent my results and nail imagery to the head of dermatology for further analyzing.This was a clear sign that he was willing to go over and above, not only to provide me with the best possible information, but he was also committed to help me come to the bottom of my weak nails, as this was never a condition I was born with.Today I visited him again, and my nails have improved by 70%, in only 6 months.He is extremely knowledgable, professional and eager to work closely with his clients, to not only identify their problem, but to also help solve it.Overall health is also very important to him, which I really appreciate.

I have been seeing Dr Moodley for over 4 months now and we have been treating my Acne which recently flared up. It was so hard choosing a dermatologist as I recently moved to Cape Town and had been seeing my dermatologist back home for years. However Dr Moodley has been really amazing and advised me on the best course of treatment for my skin, lifestyle and short time frame due to me relocating to another country. Within the past 4 months ive been seeing him I can already see an improvement in my Acne and even though I will be leaving soon Dr Moodley has equipped me with the relevant medication and skin care regime to see through my treatment whilst I am away.

Both my father and I (and friends) have been patients of Dr. Moodley for a number of years, over which we have all been made to feel that our money is FAR more important than our conditions, or questions in consultations. R850 for just 15 minutes in his room, and if you go over that, best you know youll be paying more. If you want a repeat of a script? You will have to go back for ANOTHER consultation for that same cream HE prescribed, because he wants another R850 for his time. He wouldnt allow me to leave his rooms recently until removing two moles, and didnt ONCE mention the price or ask what Medical Aid plan Im on to ensure it was covered, here I am R11 000 later with NO help from him or his receptionists in trying to fight my denied claims; in fact, he demanded R540 purely to fill out a 1 page document in order for me to fight my medical aid, and took over a week to get it back to me. Hes rude in consultations and makes you feel like youre a peasant in his presence (he barked at me when I mentioned my one wound felt infected and I quote I said its fine!! - needless to say the wound was very infected and is STILL healing; I had the small procedure and stitches done almost a month ago). I see many reviews are much like mine here as well, sad that nothing has changed. I will not be going back to this doctor ever again.

Ive been a patient of Dr Moodley for almost 4 years now, and i have nothing but praise and respect for him. He is pedantic, caring and armors one with information that assists in maintaining a healthy skin from inside out. He does not offer quick solutions in but a healing process that addresses the root cause.He is that GOOD and meticulous and took my case very seriously. He was with me every step of the way, providing emotional support. It has been a beautiful journey, my skin looks good, healthy and i feel beautiful.I still see him every 6 months; its a joy to visit his office with his warm and courteous receptionists: Lauren Van Blerk and Fahmeedah Wildschutt.

Dr Moodley is my dermatologist and I’ve been seeing him for several years. I’ve found him always to be incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and approachable. His helpful tips (like “anything any irritation longer than 3 weeks or more than 3 colours, have checked out”) are easy to remember and the thorough communication o receive from his practice helps me understand how things work. I will happily recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Mahendran Moodley helped me recover from a really severe case of Steroid Rosacea. It was a process and I had to be patient in this case. I put all of my trust in him and followed his instruction carefully. He helped me recover almost completely after 6 months and I only saw him twice. Its only getting better. I am very happy. Dr. Moodley is very professional and kind and really had my best interest at heart.

I have been to Dr Mahendran Moodley for both medical and aesthetic procedures; and i couldnt ask for a better doctor! He is extremely thorough in all medical explanations and procedures, so I always feel comfortable and know what to expect. I also fully trust that he has my best aesthetic outcomes in mind, which is very important for a young lady like myself !

I have been seeing Dr Moodley for a few years. He is extremely thorough, very knowledgeable and professional. He practices ethically and understands informed consent, which I appreciate. I could not recommend another dermatologist more highly.

Its not often that a doctors visit becomes memorable. You may have a extended private chat or an amazing choice of magazines in the waiting room. Dr Mahendran Moodley is different and efficient in a way, that is truly impressive. I had 3 dermatologists in SA and Germany trying to find out my skin problem over lengthy visits and - at the end got wrong diagnoses.This guy needed a couple of minutes, challenged me to concentrate on his fast-spoken conclusions and gave me a short, prepared written instruction on how to proceed. Impressive! If we had more doctors like that, health care costs would be a fraction. Highly recommended!

Mahendran is a top-notch specialist. Hes friendly, he seems to be an expert in his field and hes confident in his approach, which must be why he gets results.

Review №84

I appreciated Mahendran’s very detailed yet clear ‘in layman’s terms’ medical explanation, I had an excellent understanding of my diagnosis. I particularly valued the various options explained for my treatment. I liked how the options were summed up in order of priority with details on what to expect regarding the length of time, types of medication, and self-care needed to get the best sustainable results. I had seen another distinguished dermatologist in Cape Town but felt rushed and hopeless after an expensive consult, where the best advice given was to get a second opinion. Glad I did.

For a couple of years I have had treatments from Dr. Moodley for skin cancer mainly. A year ago I had a very serious cancer operation on my nose which even included a skin flap on both sides of it. I wondered whether my face would ever be normal again, but with care & advice from him one can hardly notice anything. I certainly have faith in this caring & highly qualified man.

Ive been going to Dr. Moodley for about 4 years for my annual skin checks. I find him efficient and thorough, and as long as you list any current issues with the receptionist on the forms provided, he addresses them. When he has recommended a follow up session, it is because the treatment takes time, and he wants to make sure it is dealt with. He caught a mole between my toes that two other dermatologists missed. Im grateful for that.

My wife and I have consulted regularly with Dr Moodley over the past five years on our annual visit to Cape Town and cannot recommend him highly enough. He is exceedingly professional and his treatments have all been successful. Several friends have likewise been to him for consultations and have declared themselves very satisfied.

Dr Moodley is an excellent dermatologist with an extremely professional manner. His diagnoses are spot on and his method of healing is non-invasive. I would recommend him whole heartedly.

Dr Moodley has been absolutely brilliant. I have been seeing him for more than 18 months and first went as I had a suspected melanoma. He was very quick to act and extremely thorough. What I like about Dr Moodley is his time taken, advice given and his care taken. He also did an excellent job of making me feel calm when diagnosed with two cases of melanoma.

Review №93

Ive been under the care of Dr Moodley for almost 3 years and I always appreciated his professionalism and thorough approach to his discipline. My diagnosis was a bit more challenging to ascertain due to it not being as clear cut and a few different conditions seemed to be representing itself so as much as it was frustrating to me, Dr Moodley kept assuring me that as we work together we would resolve this. So this was really an academic approach whereby he would provide a treatment regime and I would regularly provide feedback via email and pictures on my progress and he would always promptly respond with his feedback with either adjustments to my treatment plan or to come in to see him when necessary (I was always accommodated on short notice). He consulted his peers and professors for second opinions regarding my condition and always sent me home with information to read up on, so I always felt well informed and cared for. This especially comforted me during a time where I felt vulnerable and uncomfortable with not knowing the exact prognosis.I am now in a position where I am well and in control of my condition thanks to Dr Moodley and deeply grateful to him for his patience, exceptional care and for walking this journey with me.I highly recommend Dr Moodley!

What could have been a potential health crisis was averted, thanks to Doctor Moodley. I have now been a patient of his for almost a year and have had three appointments to date. Dr. Moodley, who comes highly recommended and is an expert in his field, takes time his explaining things, is happy to answer questions, does a thorough examination each time and conducts himself in a very professional, calm and gentle manner. Im grateful for his excellent care.

Dr Moodley really is an excellent dermatologist - he has extensive experience and knowledge about his field and always takes great pains to explain his diagnosis in a way that you as a patient can understand. He has treated quite complex conditions for both my husband and I and we have always been very very happy with the outcomes. Dr Moodley is a fantastic doctor and will no doubt get to the heart of your problem.

I dont usually write reviews but I had to do one for this great doctor. My aunt was having a really stubborn melisma. She has spent more than $3,000 to treat it but she had no luck with the skin treatments that she had received. In a short 15 minutes consultation Dr Moodley was able to explain everything and gave her the most beneficial treatment she has ever got. I would highly recommend this doctor because he truly seems like he knows what he is doing! Cheers.

I have always had a great experience at Dr. Moodleys office. The consultations are quick and effective, and screenings comprehensive. A general skin screening for any problems (skin cancer screen) includes a full body review, which is very reassuring. Also, I have always found that he answers ongoing questions well and in a helpful manner.

Review №99

A consultation with Dr Moodley is typically a long one way conversation. He simply doesnt listen to you and tries his best to speak over you. He doesnt like it when you ask questions. His strategy is to make a diagnosis as quickly as possible and then blurts out information in a rushed manner so that you dont have a chance to ask any questions.Any doctor-patient relationship is at best patriarchal. He is certainly possesses sufficient medical knowledge but misses the fact his patients are human beings which is evident in his arrogant behaviour.He has 0% people skills.The last straw for me was when he charged me an extra R150 for a repeat script on top of R750 for a consultation!Wouldnt recommend him to anyone.

Dr Moodley was fast, efficient and professional. I see a lot of negative reviews saying he is too quick, but the fact is he is one of the few Dermatologists in Cape Town and needs to see a lot of patients. Maybe he is not warmest person, but I think he is just a little introverted and maybe just tired of people wasting their own time and his with their theories. I have no doubt in my mind I received the best possible care after my consultation with him.
