My inteacy with Dr. Mayden were terrific. She was thorough and professional. Her assistant was as well. The surgery was quick and painless.

My only complaint was the wait time. I had a 1:00 appointment and was not called back until after 1:30. I know that the Dr. can get busy with other patients, but I suspect the delay may have been due to going at lunch time. I will schedule early mornings from now on.

Book with Dr. Maydan

"She diagnosed my rare skin cancer enabling me to get early treatment."

 

"Dr. Maydan is a superb practitioner of Mohs surgery. She removed a skin cancer from my face leaving an opening the size of a silver dollar then she closed it leaving no visible scar. I highly recommend her if you have this medical need."

"This message is for those who have Mohs surgery scheduled with Dr. Maydan. You couldn't have made a better choice. I just had stitches removed 3 days ago and can't even find a scar without magnifying mirror. Only redness and marks from stitches remain (which is temporary). Good luck and don't worry."
