About Dr Katie Lacy

Dr Katie Lacy is a Consultant Dermatologist at the St. John's Institute of Dermatology at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital, London, and is the clinical lead for the melanoma unit at Guy's Hospital. She has a specialist interest in melanoma and moles and is an expert in the use of mole mapping and dermoscopy to identify suspicious skin lesions requiring removal.

Dr Lacy is an excellent dermatologist. She combines expertise with a pragmatic, clear approach and genuine care. I’ve had great results thanks to her treatments and advice. She takes the time to explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand and ensures the treatment is right for you. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

I have been a patient of Dr Lacy now for several years and cannot praise her professionalism enough, she is an excellent dermatologist. She is extremely thorough with her examinations, very knowledgable and caring. She explains everything in a clear and comprehensive manner and always takes time during our consultations. As I see other specialists in other areas away from dermatology she also updates them if necessary as well as my GP after the consultation to explain the full picture. I am extremely grateful to her, thanks so much.

Skilful, professional and kind. Dr Katie Lacy was absolutely the best person I could hope to have been seen by. Rapidly diagnosing the issue and dealing with it. Clear explanations, and exceedingly kind. The administration of her understandably busy diary also handled brilliant well by Ruth. Thank you both so much.

Dr Lacy was excellent. Her skin examination felt very thorough and I was guided through the findings with very good explanations. The consultation also did not feel rushed despite its depth. I would highly recommend her!
