Dr. Hendi and his staff are top notch. They are professional and very caring. They explain everything in advance of what they are going to do. I had MOHS surgery done and he was fabulous. Fortunately for me it was Melanoma in situ which is stage 0 and he was able to get it all in one visit. Dr. Hendi even followed up the next day to see how I was feeling. What an extraordinary office. I had a referral for him and another surgeon and he had the better reviews/skills by far. Before I even met him, I felt very confident that he would do a great job; his credentials speak for themself.
