Patient Reviews
Feb 03, 2017
I had to have some shallow, on the surface only, squamous cells removed from under my chin. The scar is reasonable and understandable. However, he created a small pouch of skin under one side of my chin that hangs down. It doesn't jump out but it is noticeable. I went back to him but he first said it had been there before (No!), then said I needed a neck lift, then said he would cut it out, leaving a vertical scar, for only $600. I no longer trust him.
