Dr. Michael Joseph Fazio, MD

I am a fellowship trained Mohs surgeon. Dr. Fazio treated several skin cancers in the center of my face (nose and eyelid) two years ago. His technique is impecable. His results are simply perfect. I can tell you from experience that you can do no better in your choice of a surgeon if you are afflicted with skin cancers.

Dr. Fazio and his team are consummate experts: compassionate, caring, and technically brilliant. He and his nurses made every step of a complex procedure and reconstruction easy and painless. They go a long way to keep their patients comfortable and at-ease. As a fellow physician, I could not rate him and his staff highly enough. Dr. Fazio is an inspiration for us all.

My primary care physician dropped the "C" word on me 6 months ago (Aug 2018). Cancer... my mind raced. What does this mean? Should I hurry and buy more life insurance for my family? CAN I even still buy more life insurance? It turned out to be Bezel Cell Carcinoma, and according to all the doctors, this is one of the most common types of cancers for a middle aged white guy, and is relatively treatable if I act fast. So I called the referral my doc gave me, and got Dr. Fazio's next available appointment, about a month out. The morning of the appointment, I go in at 7:30am, sit in their waiting rooms’ overstuffed leather recliners, which would make any bachelor pad envious, the nurse calls me back to the room, the after a few questions, she gently numbs my nose with a shot, it stings, but not bad, about 2 minutes later my nose and some of my teeth are numb. Dr. Fazio comes in, talks with me for a minute, then takes off the layer of skin where the cancer was. It felt like tugging around… my nose, but no pain at all. The numbing juice worked well. It took him about 30 seconds to cut around, then they applied pressure, cauterized the area a bit, then came the next step… they were now going to run a biopsy and check if there’s cancer below the area they cut. I’ll save you the suspense, but for an hour I waited to see if they would have to cut anymore… the nurse calls my name…I walk back through the hallway, trailing the nurse into the room, feeling like John Coffey in the final scene of The Green Mile, but my fears were completely unfounded. They sat me down, and said the biopsy came back clean. No more Bezel Cell on my nose!!! Woo hoo!! So happy. The bandaged me up and I’m home now, writing this review for you, who may be thinking about seeing Dr. Fazio, and all the questions surrounding a visit. Please just go. I was hesitant at first, scared as heck, but Dr. Fazio and his staff were so wonderful and caring, I told them I was going to give them a great review online, and Dr. Fazio paused, looked at me longingly and asked that my review include asking people not to be afraid. Not to be afraid to come in for a check-up. He just wants to help as many people as he can. He said too many patients wait too long, because of fear of the unknown. The sooner you come in, the better chances you have. I told him I would relay that message to you. Good luck!!! Life is magical.

Clean, professional, friendly and efficient!

I have had 3 mohs surgeries with Dr. Fazio over the past 3 years to remove cancerous moles from my face and ear. This practice is very well run with an outstanding staff. This Dr. is extremely efficient and does excellent work. I would highly recommend him for anyone needing mohs surgery.

I have had over 12 Basel/squamous cell surgeries with Dr. Fazio over the years. His attention to patient health (above all), detail, procedure, patient comfort and after care are beyond excellent. His staff and support teams, to a person, are the best. From small tag removals to complex skin graphs, I am constantly amazed at his level of skill and care. His after-care and follow-up is timely and appreciated. A recent nose/graft surgery was extremely complex. All cancer was removed, gratefully. We thought the extreme grafting would be impossible to overcome on my nose. But Dr. Fazio's skill level left me amazed-yet again- at his surgical talent. Dr. Fazio is an outstanding physician and surgeon.

Everything was done with my well being @ their most caring way. Starting with Dr. Fazio & his team of support nurses they took care of my skin cancer procedure just as it was explained to me but with my well being first & foremost in their treatment. The MOHS surgery was very successfull because of Dr. Fazio.

Doctors and doctor's offices don't get any better than this. The waiting room is as comfortable as a nice living room. The staff were very friendly and very competent. Dr Fazio is a truly professional and caring doctor. This is a medical practice that puts the care of the patient first.

This is a class outfit. Dr Summer Youker was fantastic .Courteous efficient staff great service. Office worked like a well oiled machine . Dr Youker personally followed up .

This was my 2nd time seeing Dr. Fazio for removal of a basil cell carcinoma. The first surgery was to remove a basil cell carcinoma in my eyebrow and it left absolutely no scar whatsoever. We had to check the chart to see which eyebrow it was. There was no pain at all in either surgeries. Recovery time was at a minimal. I would definitely recommend Dr. Fazio for any cancer removal surgeries.
