Unfortunately, I cannot confirm the positive experiences of other patients regarding the consultation and the treatment result. In May last year I had moles removed from my face. I have had the following experience:
Consultation:
The initial consultation was quite brief, lasting only about 5 minutes. Dr. Jethon informed me about risks and expectations associated with the procedure and mentioned that fine scars were to be expected - at a cost of about 100€ per mole. Unfortunately, he did not take time during the consultation to look at my moles more closely.
Surgery:
On the day of surgery, I had to wait an hour. Afterwards, Dr. Jethon marked the moles on my face, but it slipped his mind which ones should be removed. Even though there was about 3 months between consultation and surgery, this aspect should be optimized in the future because the cost of surgery depends on the number of moles. I thus had the feeling that the price was arbitrarily set. The procedure itself was swift and professional in my opinion.
Pulling sutures:
About two weeks after surgery, the sutures were removed by an assistant. Dr. Jethon checked on me briefly and, as I was leaving the room, indicated that I should apply sunscreen to the wounds and apply pressure to the wounds beginning the second week to promote healing. It would be desirable to receive post-treatment information in a more structured manner.
Healing:
More than half of the moles healed satisfactorily. The result could possibly have been better if the timing of the surgery had been better. Sound advice would have been helpful here. Some moles in the mouth area were not ideally treated - two were not completely removed, and two others did not heal optimally. At such a price level, such mistakes should be avoided, and a follow-up appointment to detect and correct such defects would have been desirable.
Conclusion:
Overall, I would undergo such treatment again, but in winter and with a doctor who is more responsive to the patient and provides a sense of individualized care.
