I was recently diagnosed with a moderately aggressive form of skin cancer over the summer. My…read moredoctors advised me to get an excision to remove the lesion at issue.
My experience at IUCT Oncopole was fantastic. It was fairly easy to get an appointment. I only had to wait about two weeks. Parking was free and easy. There is a drop off area at the front and a larger lot a walkable distance away with a shuttle bus that runs regularly.
Check in is very easy. Take a number and then wait to be seen by the registration office. Registration to provide name, ID and billing information was easy.
My appointment to see the surgeon ran somewhat late but it was worth waiting. Dr. Falinower took my history and reviewed the reports from my dermatologists. After a brief exam, I had the option of waiting a month to do the surgery or have an surgical intern do it that afternoon. I opted for the intern.
The intern (sorry, I never received her name) was personable and gentle, as was the nurse. The procedure took less than a half hour. The stitches look great and it is healing quite well. I was also given a referral for a radiologist to confirm that they got everything. I get my lab results in about two weeks.
Overall, a very good experience.
