She dr V was extremely thoughtful and considerate of my fears -even gave positive encouragement to me ,, I don''t think I''ve ever had such an amazing dr especially for surgery
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/13/2026
Dr V went out of her way to explain the procedure, the ink application to the specimen and made sure I felt no pain. One of the best experiences I have had at the Clinic. Fantastic doctor!

I went specifically to Dr. Vidimos for a second opinion on Mohs surgery because I trust her opinion and like her as a care provider. With previous treatment, she provided an alternative to surgery which made more sense for my lifestyle and was a faster recovery. With this case, she recommended surgery for longterm results

Dr Vidimos, resident Dr. Joshua and nursing assistant (I think her name was Abby, but don't recall if that's correct) were a great team together. They made sure to tell me each step along the way what was going to happen, they clearly took great care in all aspects of the procedure and making sure I understood what the outcome and follow up would be. Friendly, humorous, professional, and thorough.

Dr.Vidimos was very thorough in her explanation of the condition being treated and the next step in the procedure being performed by Dr. Hwang. The assisting staff members provided the attention needed before, during and after the procedure. We all joined in the relief that it was a one and done Mohs procedure.
