Patient Reviews
Sep 21, 2023
Dr Ahearne performed my melanoma/lymph node biopsy surgery which went very, very well. His professionalism in the pre-op visit to explain the procedure and answers to my many questions relieved my anxiety. Further explanations and Dr. Ahearne’s demeanor on the day of the surgery further calmed my anxiety.
