“Doctor Kiasha Govender is a true professional in every sense of the word. I have yet to find a dermatologist who is so passionate and thorough in her approach to consulting, procedures, advise, follow ups and let’s not forget to mention the most important point, the RESULTS !!!! totally speak for themselves. I am absolutely thrilled with the progress of my teenager’s problematic skin, (which has now totally healed and given him a newfound confidence). Doctor Kiasha has put me on a fabulous skincare programme; my skin is glowing, radiant, healthy and I am regularly checked for any sun damage. Its so refreshing to know you are in safe and caring hands of Doctor Kiasha Govender."
