I appreciate your generosity in allowing me to observe you at work. This was very educational, and now I feel I can properly inform patients about the expected experience when undergoing Mohs surgery. It is clear to me what an elegant, accurate, and effective method to excising skin cancers. I am impressed with the way your clinic is run. The nurses and staff are very professional and responsive to the patients which I’m sure they appreciate. I hope to see you in the future!
My husband had his hand operated on by Dr. Dhir , using the Mohs technique, back in the spring and doesn't even have a scar!! Not only is he a wonderful surgeon, but a super nice person!! Everyone there was great!!
Thank you so much for your care & skills & kindness.
Everyone was extremely pleasant and helpful. All procedures were explained in detail which made the experience comforting. This is a wonderful group.
Doctor Dhir and staff, I appreciated the high level of professional and personal care. Explanation of treatment, pathology, and care was thorough, appropriate, and excellently delivered. Thanks!
Words can never convey the depth of our gratitude in the treatment of our mother. Going the extra mile with follow-up phone calls and the prayers were greatly appreciated to relieve our fears and concerns. The kindness and compassion that was shown to her and even to us was so deeply felt. Thank you and your staff for everything.
I wanted to send you a huge thank you for all the work you did after my surgery. As you can see, the scar is not visible at all! This was a picture from our wedding day and I thought you might enjoy seeing the end result of all of it! Thanks again for taking such excellent care of me and my face!
Obviously, every detail has been addressed in the design of your facility...richly enhanced by VERY skilled hands & friendly faces! Happy to say, the surgical site is healing beautifully...beyond expectations. I recommend your practice at every opportunity.
