Again, my experience in the dermatology department has been excellent because of Dr. Poblete-Lopez. She did Moh's surgery on my right lower eyelid several years ago and when I asked for an appointment a year ago, I was very fortunate to get her again. She did Moh's surgery last winter on my forehead and it healed quickly with no visible scar. When another biopsy showed a melanoma, she quickly arranged for me to see a surgeon and the surgery was done within two weeks. Since it was a long-standing growth that I had ignored during the pandemic, I was very fortunate that it didn't spread to my lymph nodes. Since that surgery I spotted two new growths and she was quick to get me into the Clinic to check the growths. She did a biopsy on one which fortunately wasn't skin cancer. Aside from her expertise and ability as a dermatologist, she is a very kind, caring and pleasant person.
