Luv Dr mafong. Wonderful doctor!
Excellent
I like this practice very much, but it does seem to be over-scheduled. Appointments were booked pretty far out online. I waited about 25 minutes in the waiting room, and about 15 minutes for Dr. Mafong to return after his assistant did the prep work for a biopsy.
Dr. Mafong is thorough and explains his processes and procedures well.
Wow. A doctor who actually spends time with you?!? Dr. Mafong was great! I appreciated how he talked me through my options and addressed the issues at hand. Great visit. Excellent bedside manner. He wasn’t rushing out the door ahead of me like other docs do.

Dr. Mafong is a terrific physician. I would mark 5 stars, except that the wait to see him seemed a little excessive.
Dr Mafong is an excellent physician, very personable. He did a great job on my first MOHS procedure for Basal cell, and I flew back to him from Albuquerque to consult on my upcoming squamous cell. I would highly recommend him. Terry
