Very cordial staff and information regarding the procedure. Painful night and discomfort in position prescribed in instructions. Bleeding and dark soaked dressing this a.m.. Do I need to wait 48 hours before changing? Antibiotic prescribed has had no ill effect. Let me know about the sleeping position and dressing concern. Thank you!

I did not know what to expect before going to Dr. Urban. I had never had skin cancer and was a little on the nervous side. The staff there could not be any nicer than they were. The did their best to put me at ease and when Dr. Urban himself came in and explained everything in detail I was not quite as nervous as when I first walked through the door. I am scheduled to have my procedure in a few days and I would be a liar if I told you I was not worried but I am less worried since I met the staff and the doctor. Another great point is they are on time with appointments.
