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.
