Patient Reviews
Oct 13, 2023
Dr. Mercandetti identified the cancer, left eyelid. Three surgeries for removal/reconstruction. Honest appraisal of the severity, survival, etc. Excellent coordination with oncologist. A type of cancer which Dr. Mercandetti had seen only one other time in his years of practice. I have since learned that the diagnosis is worse than that which took Jimmy Buffett's life. Dr. Mercandetti is skilled and caring, with an engaging and beautiful personality.
