Can anyone recommend a good dermatologist strictly for removing moles without "butchering" your skin? I have not had good luck in the past where a mole was shaven so deep that it should have been cut and stitched and not shaven. I really would like specific experiences with removing moles and a dermatologist that cared about the type of scar it would leave. Thanks.

Who I WOULDN'T go to...
Dr. Ling!
But, whoever you go see, be sure you make it clear you want to see the doctor, not his/her PA. Had a PA in Lex Park tell me a few years ago that the growth on my hand was a wart and she tried freezing it a number of times with no results. Later found out from a REAL dermatologist that it was a cyst and I had to have it surgically removed. Not a pleasant experience.

hated Dr. Ling and wouldn't take my dog to see him even if he was paying me to see him.

I know Dr. Trianna is there, plus there are a couple of other names on the Leonardtown office
I wonder if they can help with my mole problem, they are just screwing up my lawn.
Nothing else has worked, so maybe a dermatologist can make them disappear as well.

When I first saw the thread, I was thinking "why would a mole need a dermatologist"?

I've had two moles on my face removed. Once years ago by Dr. Trianna. I have no visible scar left and he worked a bit with me on the insurance, so I would definitely recommend him. The other was removed from Dr. Sanji who used a different technique that was supposed to minimize scarring. Let's just say I won't be seeing Dr. Sanji again.

Her name is slipping my mind right now. I think she may have been a PA. I like her, just can't remember her name.

If the mole turns out to be a Melanoma, I recommend Dr. Seraj S. Venna. He is the director of the Melanoma Center at Washington Hospital Center.
You didn't see where, but Dr. Faris Hawit in Calvert is great.

I saw Hewit once and would never go back. He seemed very distracted, inspected me from about 3 feet away, never once touched my skin. As I have a history of skin cancer, it was very disconcerting.
When I was leaving, I saw a sales rep in the lobby that had brought him a bag of food from Panera.
