    I appreciated the professionalism, knowledge, patience and kindness that Dr. Tristani showed to me and I trusted her with my care. She explained the procedure that I was about to receive very well and I felt prepared.

    Dr. Tristani did a previous Mohs surgery for me and I knew I wanted her to perform this one as well. Very painless and perfectly done procedure and sutures. Going back tomorrow for removal of outer stitches. Based on my previous Mohs, IÕm sure once the healing is complete the incision will be barely noticeable. SheÕs the best!

    Dr. Tristani made me feel well cared for and answered my questions, and helped my husband look at my surgery site and know what to keep an eye on since it is on the top of my head where I can's see it.
