What patients say

I had a lump on my shoulder for nine years and kept being told to leave it. It caught on my bag strap every single day. Dr. Cohen removed it in about forty minutes with a local, and I went back to work the next morning. The scar sits in a crease and I genuinely have to look for it.

Two surgeons had already told me mine was too deep to bother with. Dr. Ellenhorn ordered an MRI, explained exactly where it sat in the muscle, and took it out cleanly. Having someone actually look properly instead of guessing made all the difference.

What I appreciated most was being told the truth. I went in with two lumps and was told one needed removing and the other did not, and that nobody should be selling me on taking out the second one. That honesty is why I sent my brother here.

Mine was actually painful, which apparently is not typical. Turned out to be an angiolipoma. It was explained to me properly for the first time, removed, and the ache I had lived with for two years was simply gone.

A lump on the neck is not something you can hide, and I had stopped being photographed. The incision went into a natural line and four months on you cannot see anything. The whole thing took one visit.

I have familial multiple lipomatosis, so I have a lot of these. They dealt with the three that were causing problems, talked me through why the rest could wait, and sent every one to pathology. I finally feel like someone has a plan rather than just reacting.
