  • I've had many MoHS surgeries and Dr. Fewkes was exceptional. It was also the first time a surgeon arranged for a plastic surgeon afterwards and I was whisked in even tho I was more than 2 hours ahead of that appt.she was extremely gentle and conversant. There was only 1/2 hour in between layers rather than jumping in deeply. Couldn't have had a better experience and that compares to probably 12-15 other MOHS surgeries.
