Miss Rakhee Nayar offers Mohs micrographic surgery, skin cancer removal, and facial reconstruction at Fairfield Independent Hospital in Crank, St Helens. Fairfield is a well-established independent hospital serving patients across Merseyside, Cheshire, and Greater Manchester.
Which site you will be seen at
Miss Nayar both consults and operates at Fairfield, so an assessment and the surgery itself can both take place here. Her main private Mohs list is at Circle Cheshire in Northwich, and Fairfield is the closer option for patients travelling from St Helens, Warrington, Wigan and much of Merseyside. Which site suits your case depends on what is being done and when, so please ask when you book rather than assuming. It is a short conversation and it saves a wasted journey.

Getting there and parking
Fairfield sits in the village of Crank, on the north side of St Helens, roughly fifteen minutes from Warrington and about half an hour from central Liverpool. It is a rural setting rather than a town-centre hospital, so allow a little longer than the mapping app suggests at school-run times. The postcode for sat-nav is WA11 7RS.
Free patient parking is available on site. The hospital is reached easily from the M6 and M62, and takes patients from Warrington, St Helens, Liverpool, Manchester and the wider North West.
What happens on the day
A first appointment is a consultation, not surgery. The lesion is examined, the history taken, and if a diagnosis is already confirmed the discussion moves to how it would be removed and repaired. You will leave knowing what is proposed and what it costs.
Mohs surgery itself takes most of a day, because each layer is processed and read under the microscope before the next decision is made. Most cancers are clear after one or two layers. The waiting between layers is the bulk of the day, and you spend it in the hospital rather than in theatre, so bring something to read.
Follow-up
Wound checks and suture removal are arranged at whichever site is most practical for you. The schedule is set out before surgery so the journeys can be planned in advance.
Common questions
Can I be seen at Fairfield if I live in Warrington? Yes. Crank is about fifteen minutes from Warrington. There is a separate page covering Mohs surgery for Warrington patients.
Is Fairfield part of Circle Health? No. Fairfield Independent Hospital is an independent hospital and is not part of the Circle group. Circle Cheshire in Northwich is a separate organisation.
Can I be assessed before travelling? An e-consultation allows an initial look at a lesion before you make the journey, which many patients use as a first step.
