Betty met Dr. Scott when her ophthalmologist became concerned about a mole on her lower eyelid. \u201cHe came highly recommended,\u201d Betty emphasizes. \u201cMy doctor gave me three names but told me to try to book Dr. Scott first if I could.\u201d She scheduled her first appointment with Dr. Scott to take a biopsy.<\/p>\n
The biopsy was \u201can uncomfortable situation,\u201d Betty says, \u201cbecause someone is working on your eye, but you can\u2019t see it or feel it. But Dr. Scott was very calm and confident and talked to me throughout the whole procedure.\u201d<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the biopsy identified the mole as basal cell carcinoma. Dr. Scott referred her to an experienced Mohs surgeon to remove the cancerous cells. \u201cThe office set everything up,\u201d Betty says. \u201cI was very nervous, but I appreciated that Dr. Scott didn\u2019t beat around the bush. Sometimes, doctors make things sound better, so you don\u2019t worry, and you\u2019re ultimately faced with a situation you\u2019re unprepared for but Dr. Scott wasn\u2019t like that at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
After the Mohs surgeon removed the cancer, Dr. Scott\u2019s team placed her under anesthesia to reconstruct the area. \u201cHe worked on that little area of my eye for two hours,\u201d Betty says. \u201cHe\u2019s so meticulous, and he said he was very pleased with the results.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for her recovery, Betty says, \u201cThe most uncomfortable thing was the eye patch because it literally covers half your face!\u201d But Dr. Scott explained that the compression was a vital part of the healing process and advised her to keep it on as long as possible before her follow-up appointment.<\/p>\n
\u201cDr. Scott is really funny,\u201d Betty says. \u201cHe has a dry sense of humor. He said, \u2018Don\u2019t take the patch off and put it back on \u2014 I\u2019ll be able to tell!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Roughly one month after having her stitches removed, Betty says, \u201cI am so amazingly pleased with his work. All my family members and friends can\u2019t believe how good it looks! Dr. Scott must be very talented to do all that work in such a tiny space.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Dr. Scott wasn\u2019t the only one who impressed her. \u201cFrom the receptionist to the nurses and the surgical coordinator, everyone was so efficient, and they made it so easy. Everyone who supports Dr. Scott is equally professional. You couldn\u2019t ask for a better experience, and I can\u2019t recommend them enough.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
