Loved the doctor and staff in the back! The reception girls in front / one seemed liked she didn’t really want to be there while the other was splitting, I assume, sunflower seeds in her mouth and removing shells from her mouth, wShow moreith her fingers to dispose of in the trash can by her desk…Appeared, not very hygienic for a medical office. But grateful for the professional atmosphere in the back rooms and for a professional caring and friendly treatment. Thank you.
Mohs surgery. Dr Callahan provided a detailed explanation of the Procedure. Checked numerous times during the Procedure to ensure I was not experiencing any discomfort. Dr Callahan assistants, Ashley & Leslie were both very profShow moreessional and helpful. Leslie provided a though explanation of post procedure care and consistently emphasizing that Absolute Dermatology is available 24/7, if any issues should arise. Could not be more pleased with Dr Callahan and her team. Very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and compassionate.

Dr Callahan is very engaging and caring. She removed a squamous cell carcinoma on my leg. The removal of it did not hurt at all and I’m almost 24 hours postoperative and still no pain! Highly recommend her!
Staff was very friendly, eager to help with any questions. Physician was pleasant, knowledgable and explained everything that happen step by step. Assistant was also pleasant, informative answered any questions. The only thing I wish I knew a head of time was that the procedure would restrict my mobility some for two weeks , no lifting ect . This did catch me off guard,

Yes I went in there with skin cancer on my forehead the the three women that was in my room with me and that new tech tech they were awesome everybody needs to ask to see those three people they were just fantastic and thank you so much Miss Allen
First time patient, from the time I walked in till the time I walked out everyone I had contact with was courteous and professional. Dr. Shields and her assistant described everything they were going to throughout the whole process.
Dr Callahan and her assistants were great. The Doctor has a great bedside manner. The set up of the practice could be better. The waiting room is cramped and crowded. I've had 6 Mohs surgeries and this is the first time I've had to return to the waiting room between each "round" of Mohs.
