After cell removal, decisions were made by staff to perform additional surgery to close and repair the wound without fully explaining the options to me. Dr. Lopez corrected the situation, explained the options, and allowed me to forego the planned additional surgery. She noted that should I change my mind after the wound heals, that there would NOT be an insurance issue.

Dr Lopez was in the room and watched the Fellow make the incision. otherwise the Fellow did my surgery. I would have appreciated Dr Lopez to look at my incision before I was bandaged up. The Fellow was very nice and kind but still wish Dr Lopez would have seen it. The RN was excellent.
