Very fortunate to have a Dr. Pipitone has the surgeon to perform Mohr's surgery, as well as syncing her methods with Dr. Simon to close, the affected areas the next day. With the initial consultation prior to surgery, any and all concerns and questions I had where put to rest. The attending nurse (Anna) on the day of surgery was most attentive and assuring throughout the procedure as well as seeing to my comfort during the wait times. Dr. Pipitone was very, very thorough and checked to be assured all of the cancer was removed, and addressed any questions and concerns regarding my current health care plan. Very fortunate to have had Dr. Pipitone as the surgeon.

Dr. Pipitone was recommended to me by my own primary doctor. I believe I received the best of care from this dermatology surgeon and her assistant, Carolina. When calling with concerns after the surgery, I was urged to come into the office, which I did on two occasions after the Moh's surgery. I never felt that my questions or concerns were trivial. I was treated with great courtesy and respect. I greatly admire both Dr. Pipitone and Carolina.
