2026-07-03
-
My expectation was that Dr. Waldman would be doing the surgery but, instead, one of her fellows, did almost all of the surgery plus putting in stitches. I had requested my appointment to be with Dr. Waldman as there were other surgeons who had available appointments. I was somewhat uncomfortable and concerned that someone with less experience would be doing the surgery. He was very nice but I'm hoping he is a competent surgeon. I did see and speak to Dr. Waldman but did not tell her how I felt about having her fellow do the surgery.
2026-07-03

Although dermatology surgery is never a pleasant experience, the surgical team did an excellent job of making my visit as pain-free as possible.
