Patient Reviews
Jan 22, 2024
I was diagnosed with a Melanoma cancer on my ear, he had me come in on a Saturday gave me 2 options, 1 to do the excision and monitor or 2, excision and Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy and remove them. I chose the second. He operated 13 days later and removed all the cancer and nodes in my neck, pathology came back I was clear. Very professional and on time, all his predictions of my condition were spot on. I would never hesitate to use him again.
