When something is suspicious he does a biopsy. The biopsy is sent to an independent lab not his office so the results come back by them and if it's basel, squamous or melanoma the lab is the one that has the final diagnosis and then it's up to the surgeon to remove the site. All types of skin cancer can grow and go deep and if it's not taken care of it can become a bigger and more graver problem. I rather have someone who sees them early and takes care of them. Unfortunately my husband is fair skin blue eye Irish and more suspectible to skin cancers. Our dermatologist is Dr Thi Tran and he's the most honest human being there ever was.

Since reading the many posts including yours it has brought me to my senses and I now have a new attitude and have stopped doubting my husbands dermatologist. Thank you
