This doctor basically ruined my life. By which I mean my face, self-esteem, and bank account. She missed a basal cell carcinoma that was growing on my nose for years — while I faithfully went for skin checks every 6-8 months. By the time it was caught it was so large that the Mohs surgeon sent me to a plastic surgeon for repair work and I am about to have my fourth surgery (under general anesthesia). The plastic surgeon says I'll likely need two more surgeries and has been straightforward that my face will never look the same again. I have lost wages due to time needed off from work, opportunities, in that I have had to say no to professional events while recovering from each surgery, am embarrassed enough by how I look that I won't attend social events, and haven't left my house without medical tape on my face in over six months. The plastic surgeon made it clear it will likely be a year (or more) before I look less disfigured and we get this repair as "good as it can get."

I thought she was a competent, experienced doctor but to miss this says something else. No doctor is infallible, and I'm sure she regrets her negligence, but I will bear the brunt of this for the rest of my life. Stay away.

I can't believe how quick and efficient Dr. Osder is! From time spent in the waiting room, time spend in the exam room and time to complete small procedures, I am always amazed at how quick she is. And I don't feel that I lack her attention.
