Had a thorough annual skin check. Doctor explained things as he reviewed things, which I found quite insightful. He also took a biopsy of a mole out of an abundance of caution, which was also appreciated.

May 30, 2024Luka T.Verified patient
I believe the office had issues with my insurance company and it was just after work hours, both contributing to a longer wait time, but I don’t entirely fault them for it. Good and quick experience with the Dr who confidently addressed my concerns. Thank you!
