Skin cancer affects about 3.3 million Americans a year. While cancer is a frightening and uncertain diagnosis, skin cancer is treatable in its early stages. Mohs surgery is a treatment for skin cancer which involves removing cancerous skin cells while leaving the surrounding skin as intact as possible.
Moles--they're those flat, oval to circular spots on your skin. Typically brown, or sometimes black in color, most moles live out their lifespan harmlessly. Some moles, however, change, and change can indicate skin cancer. To be sure your skin--and your overall health--stays strong, your dermatologist in Port Charlotte, Dr. Hernandez, recommends you check your moles once a month at home.
Your body has skin cells called melanocytes and these cells produce melanin, which determines the color of your skin. Melanocytes can grow in clumps, producing a mole. Nearly everyone can have between 10 and 40 moles and they can be many different colors or textures, but they are usually less than 6 millimeters in diameter.

This guy is not good for any patient with hard questions.
Things started off on the wrong foot immediately because I didn't remember the name of the dermatologist I had last seen - it was several years ago and I only saw him once. Dr. Hernandez repeatedly said to me "You can't remember?" (that didn't make me feel good) and he acted like I was lying!
I had an area he wanted to remove and biopsy. I asked some questions about the pros and cons, and he didn't seem to like me asking! Later, when they called back with the biopsy results I had a simple question about how often I should come in and have

After being a patient of this doctor, you will wish ALL of your doctors were like him! He is the most patient-oriented, professionally excellent physician I have seen. Being an (unfortunately) experienced consumer of dermatology services, he is tops---especially for the high-end procedures like Mohs surgery. In addition, his staff is always personable, efficient, and expert at what they do. Lastly, he is VERY unusual in that he makes himself available for patient emergency calls 23/7. I just hope he doesn't burn out!

Not impressed with this doctor at all. He's not comfortable enough with himself to allow a critical thinking patient to have an objective discussion with him. I challenged conventional thinking, contradictory medical cancer studies and he took it personal. In fact he was so uncomfortable with this patient acknowledging reality that he lost sight of the fact that he runs a "practice" ! So uncomfortable, insecure and threatened that he suggested I go elsewhere...... so I did.
Not sure if that's grounds for a complaint With the Florida bord of medicine but I'll find out. My health is my responsibility
