I don't know anyone who says, "I'm so happy I'm going to the doctor today". However, your staff did an excellent job of making me very comfortable. I know I'm not the only patient and your call was appreciated. It brought back memories of my childhood and our family doctor. You are a good doctor and I would recommend your facility to anyone. I spent a lot of time with your staff and they support you with kindness and compassion.  You made it an experience I can remember with fondness.

I appreciate your generosity in allowing me to observe you at work.  This was very educational, and now I feel I can properly inform patients about the expected experience when undergoing Mohs surgery.  It is clear to me what an elegant, accurate, and effective method to excising skin cancers.  I am impressed with the way your clinic is run.  The nurses and staff are very professional and responsive to the patients which I’m sure they appreciate.  I hope to see you in the future!

Thank you so much for the wonderful care you and your staff gave me. The removal of my skin cancer was a breeze. I appreciated the straightforward information and genuine care. I hope dealing with my insurance is not too big of a headache for your staff. I am thankful they were willing to go an extra mile to get my visits approved. If I am lucky, my employer will realize you are the best choice for their dermatology services. That way, I can continue to have the excellent care you give.
