Patient Reviews
Dec 31, 2024
Today Dr. Contestable and his assistant, Omani, performed Mohs surgery to remove a basal cell carcinoma on my nose. They made me feel at ease (and I know I'm receiving the best care possible from previous procedures I've had here as well). They explained the process well, listened to me, asked if I had any questions and provided a number for me to call if I needed to get in touch. I felt truly cared for. At the end of the day, long after I'd gone Dr. Contestable called to ask how I was doing. This is a personal touch I truly appreciate.
