Brilliant Doctor. Exceptional patient service. Thorough. I was in his care for 4 hours of outpatient surgery and I cannot imagine going to anyone else.

This is the third Mohs surgery I've had - the first by Dr, Leffell. I would not go anywhere else after this experience.

Went to see him. He said he could do the surgery on my face and to make an appointment. Left the room quickly before I could ask any questions. No way would I use him.
