I can't express just how pleasant of an experience this was, considering the not-so-pleasant diagnosis. From the moment I walked into his office for the initial consultation, to the removal of my sutures yesterday, this has been a truly rare experience from a doctor. Dr. King is extremely kind, caring, thoughtful, professional and reassuring. He was remarkable calming during the pre-op and then again after, was overly supportive and generous with his time and consideration on follow-up. His entire staff is very friendly, kind, professional and caring. It's rare to engage with anyone in the medical field that offers the genuine kindness that this doctor has. I am so pleased with my results and am confident that the scarring will be minimal over time. Anyone in need of reconstructive surgery that may be skeptical about the character of the physicians in this field will be pleasantly surprised by the warm and engaging bedside manner of Dr. King. He is truly amazing. It's unfortunate that more physicians aren't capable of possessing this character. I highly recommend Dr. King.... and I thank him.

To the three medical practices whose combined concern, expertise, and amazing speed excised and…read morecovered my surprise scalp cancer 14 days after its biopsy findings arrived, and just 7 days before my wife's long-scheduled shoulder replacement, thank you. A year ago, concerned about one small area on my scalp, David Foster of Perlmutter Dermatology froze it with liquid nitrogen. Not liking what re-grew, in early May he sent a surface biopsy whose alarming analysis he received on Thursday May 28: "...morphologic and immunophenotypic findings... consistent with an atypical fibroxanthoma. However, a pleomorphic dermal sarcoma cannot be excluded... Final diagnosis will rest upon examination of the completely excised specimen." David referred us to Dr. Daniel Lee at the Williams Center, whose receptionist Paula called early Friday. Incredibly, she scheduled us to see Dr. Lee early on the next workday, June 1. This initial conversation, and every subsequent contact we had with Dr. Lee and his administrative and professional staff, showed their grasp of the threat we faced and the fears we felt, and we quickly learned that, professionally and personally, they would always respond generously, at a level far beyond our hopes. Our sole priority had become excision of my scalp lesion. But on Monday morning, Dr. Lee proposed making a wide excision the following afternoon, because this quick, thorough resolution would also preserve my wife's planned June 17h surgery date. At 9:30 that evening, however, still considering our situation, he called to present another possibility. Warning us that in this area the average wait for a Mohs procedure was a month, and some Mohs surgeons did not work on sarcomas at all, he suggested that next morning his staff might explore whether a Mohs practitioner who did treat sarcomas might have an opening before Anne's surgery. If we heard nothing, we were to proceed to his office for that afternoon's already-scheduled excision. On Tuesday, minutes before we were to head up the Northway for that procedure, Dr. Lee's office called to say that Mohs surgeon Dr. Steven Altmayer would remove my lesion the morning of June 10. A Mohs surgeon is both a dermatologist and pathologist, so minutes after removing each layer of a lesion, he can determine precisely what he is dealing with and whether further excision is required. In that time his nurse Kendra brought Anne back in to be with me. Fortunately, my malignancy turned out to be superficial, and Dr. Altmayer removed it in just two installments. With a pressure dressing on the open wound to minimize bleeding and prevent infection, my wife and I drove up the Northway to Dr. Lee's office for coverage of the defect in my scalp left behind. While we waited my scalp bled a little, and nurses reinforced the dressing. My wife made me eat lunch. After finishing up with another patient, Dr. Lee spent two hours painstakingly creating this magnificent rotation flap. The attached photo was taken just seventeen days later; clearly, his work will soon be invisible. Since both procedures were done under local anesthetic, I could hear fascinating comments throughout, even ask questions. During the Mohs procedure the nurse let Anne join me each time removed tissue was being analyzed. At the end, Dr. Altmayer told us that the growth was all shallow, never near the skull, completely removed with clean margins, and that I was in good shape. To my quip that at 81, I would be dying soon anyway, Dr. Altmayer replied, chuckling, "Not from this, and not on my watch." Dr. Lee warned us beforehand that skin on the skull typically does not stretch much but, luckily, in my case it did - enough to permit that local tissue to cover the Mohs wound. He separated an area of skin larger than that defect, with thickness precisely equal to its depth, so that, once stretched into place, the whole area was level. I experienced no pain during either operation, only a sensation of pressure not usually present and, during creation of the flap, an awareness of skin being stretched. The days following the two procedures remained pain-free, though the sensation of the scalp being stretched faded over a day or two. Dr, Lee removed my stitches on June16, one day sooner than usual, to accommodate my wife's June 17th surgery. We are both grateful to Dr. Lee, Dr. Altman, and all who worked to remove my scalp cancer in the short time between its diagnosis and the 17th. You freed us from worry about my possible sarcoma, and that freed us both to focus on her recovery. For your expertise, willingness to see your patient's situation from their perspective, incredible speed, and kindness, we are both grateful.

I know several friends and acquaintances who have had skin cancer, and I know someone who passed away from it, so I try to stay vigilant about my skin. That is a big change from my younger years when I spent hours in the sun without protection and never thought twice about it. After noticing a few areas of concern, I scheduled an appointment in early October. The first available visit was early February, but I kept it because I wanted peace of mind and to stay proactive. The Latham location was easy to get to and there was plenty of parking. The office was clean, spacious, and welcoming. I was greeted right away, completed new patient paperwork, and was taken back within a few minutes. After discussing my concerns with the technician, Dr. Menon came in shortly after. She was warm, upbeat, and thorough. She carefully examined the areas I mentioned and determined they were not cancerous, which was a huge relief. After waiting months for the appointment, getting clear answers and reassurance meant a lot. Checkout was smooth and there were no insurance issues. The visit felt organized, professional, and patient focused from start to finish. I highly recommend this practice for anyone who wants to be proactive about caring for their skin. This is a place I would gladly return to and definitely will. 5 stars.

Where do I start? Well, last year (2013) my wife was diagnosed with trigger finger in both hands by…read morea leading orthopedic group in the Albany NY area. At that time she had health care insurance through my employer. In December 2013 she had surgery on her left hand by the hand specialist at the "leading orthopedic group" that diagnosed her condition. The surgery went well, and did take care of her problem (locking fingers, etc), however the pain continued for 2 months, and she was forced to take Tramadol every 4 hours on a regular basis to relieve the pain. He gave her no other instructions or advice to help or prevent pain. The surgery for her right hand was scheduled for January 20th, 2014. With the advent of the ACA (Obama Care), my employer dropped health insurance coverage, and we had to get our new insurance through the NY health care exchange, As a result, we had to find a new hand surgeon, as her current surgeon did not participate in our new health insurance plan. I did some research, and found Dr. Malcolm Roth. We called and set up appointments for an initial consultation and subsequent surgical appointment. From the moment we entered the offices, we felt relieved. The staff gave us their prompt attention, and made us feel welcome immediately. After a brief 10 minute wait, we met with Dr. Roth. He went over the notes from her previous surgery, explained her options, offered choices, and went to lengths to make sure she understood exactly how he was going to proceed. Her surgery was scheduled for February 25th at Albany Medical Center. After the surgery, Dr. Roth met with us in the recovery room. He gave my wife a prosthetic device that was designed to keep her hand elevated. He did give her a prescription for Tramadol, but asked that she try not to take it unless absolutely necessary. He asked her to try taking Tylenol to relieve pain, and to avoid the Tramadol unless she absolutely had to have it. He gave her instructions to keep her hand elevated above her heart whether standing, sitting, or lying down. Shortly afterwards, we left the hospital and went home. That night around 8:30 the phone rang. It was Dr. Roth. He called to check up on my wife, see how she was doing, and how the pain level was. What a surprise! I cannot tell you the last time we had a doctor call us at home, after hours, to see how we were doing. It has been 3 weeks since Dr. Roth performed the surgery on my wife's right hand, and almost 3 months since the other doctor did the surgery on her left hand. She is in the rare position of being able to do a '€œside-by-side"€ comparison of two doctors performing the identical surgery, one on the left hand and the other on the right hand. The difference is night and day!!! My wife has more pain in her left hand that was done 3 months ago than in the right hand that was done 3 weeks ago. To us, Dr. Roth is a miracle worker. Dr. Roth is a genuinely caring human being, showing compassion to his patients, and taking a personal interest to make sure that my wife was recovering well. We highly recommend Dr. Roth to anyone needing his services. Our only regret is that he doesn't practice general medicine, as if he did, he would be our family doctor as well.
