My fourth visit to Dr. Nanda was every bit as satisfactory as the first three. Dr. Nanda and her staff are very caring, and make every effort to put the patient at ease in what could be a trying situation. They are upbeat and cheerful and make you feel welcome in their clinic. Every step is carefully explained. I was concerned because the squamous cell tumor that was to be removed was close to my eye. The surgery was accomplished quickly and was entirely painless. Though Dr. Nanda said I might experience swelling and a black eye, neither happened. Very likely I will have more of these problems due to overexposure to sun in my youth but I will have no worries that Dr. Nanda will take good care of me.

Dr. Nanda performed Mohs surgery for a squamous cell carcinoma on my forehead. She and her staff were friendly and informal, yet very professional. I was really just there for an evaluation, but they were able to schedule my surgery for the same day, even though they had to stay late. The surgery was absolutely painless, and my surgical incision was closed by Dr. Christophel, an associated plastic surgeon, to minimize scarring. The whole experience was as easy as could be and I strongly recommend Dr. Nanda for anyone who needs skin cancer surgery.

Dr Nanda is one of the best. Her kindness and caring spirit are above the average doctor. Her medical knowledge and the way she comes to your level to explain to you is superb.

I had a lesion under my eye that turned out to be basal cell carcinoma and wanted to go to a DR. that specialized in MOHs surgery to be sure that I did everything possible to be sure it would not return. Dr. Nanda is a great Dr. from the minute you walk in the door and she also follows up to be sure you are ok. She has a great staff. I do not feel I could have got better care anywhere else. #1 in my book!
