Dr. Laura Ann Gowen, MD

I had MOHS surgery on my nose by Dr. Capriotti @ Bryn Mawr Skin&Cancer Cirillo in August 2022. My MOHS procedure was very extensive leaving a large wound almost to the cartilage on my nose. I was turned over to Dr. Gowen for the wound closure.She informed me I would need a skin graft taking skin from my neck. She also told me I was her third graft of the day and she still had another patient waiting. I feel she was rushed and anxious to move on to the next patient so she did what was quickest not what would yield the best result. I was left with a deep crater and scarring which she later admitted was what she expected. Friends and family would say "you should have gone to a plastic surgeon" When I told them the closure was done by a plastic surgeon they'd say "not a very good one!" In consultations with other plastic surgeons who saw the post MOHS photo they all said they would have done some type of flap closure not just a graft. In my opinion Dr. Gowen is inept and should be avoided!
