Going to a peer only puts you in the position to make a decision which begs the question, how do you do that if they disagree? In TV and dermatology who would you go to? And, if you think the doc that is giving you the second opinion is better than the original doc why aren't you going there initially? Just curious?

JoMar, that is an excellent question. After thinking about it more, as long as I'm seeing Dr. Casper I will not go for another opinion. I keep reflecting back to the time that he kept looking at a spot and finally said "I think we should biopsy this spot right here". He did but it turned out that it was benign. I was, and as I reflect on that, impressed with what I will call a very careful approach. I do not think that he freezes more than is necessary nor do I think he biopsies more than he should. I simply trust him.
