Amy, the P.A., saw me first, and checked
out the various moles on my back and
flanks, and I requested the removal of
two that bothered me. Then I saw the
doctor who froze off a mole that had kept
getting itchy. And the P. A. scraped of
a mole that bothered me. They both
examined a small puffy place in my
groin, and explained that a brief
surgical procedure was necessary to
remove it. I was pleased with their
knowledge, clear explanations, and
respect for me.
