Default Alliant Derm - mohs - dr Brandon Markus

Turns out I have a squamous spot on my cheek - diameter of a pencil eraser. Jen Davis (excellent medical professional) is recommending mohs/Markus.

I’ve not had mohs before nor seen Markus.

1) Any comments + / - on Markus? Is he the right person for the job?

I’ve read about the mohs surgery and understand the basic process.

2) How painful is the numbing process? About how many numbs can I expect in a 4 hour window (that’s my middle of the road guess for what I might need)?

3) Waiting for lab reports - is it typically the hour/plus or hour/less with Markus?

I know to bring entertainment - so I’m having my wife accompany me. I will of course have my prescribed service animal (sloth) with me. Yoshi and I are inseparable.

4) Anything else I should be aware of?


Thanks group!
