Dermatologist: Specific Reason for Asking
Moved here from up North. Go to get skin checks here every 6 months. Both times I left with a face full of band-aids due to multiple biopsies. I see most other patients walking out of the place covered with band-aids.
Back home I also did 6 month skin checks. Had One biopsy maybe once per year. Anyone here have frequent lesions needing to be burned off, by a dermatologist they Love, who isn't scalpel happy? Thanks!

When we got here, I went to Village Dermatology and Dr. Tran and his staff removed the cancerous growth. I was very pleased with the medical care they provided and my wife and I have been going to them ever since. On each visit, they spray a few spots and take 4 or 5 biopsies, which I don't mind at all. They once found a melanoma on my wife's back, but it was tiny and they removed it. |

I hadn't been able to go to the pool even once all summer, because as soon as one of the incisions was healed well enough for me to go swimming, they needed to remove another one. And that whole next week I spent nearly sleepless since one was on my leg, one was on my back, so I had to basically find a spot and not move at all, all night, or risk pulling a stitch. I gained almost 10 pounds in the last 1.5 years because I've had big huge clumps of skin removed from my body with stitches and healing time needed, all on my lower torso - making it very difficult to move, and exercise wasn't allowed. I don't need that kind of headache in my life so if it's not actually cancerous, or growing on something important (like my kidney), then the lump can damned well stay where it is.

I concur, I left that practice a long time ago. His brother spraying liquid nitrogen into my ear was the final turning point for me. Just MHO. |
