Hearing the word “carcinoma” strikes understandable fear into even the most stalwart of hearts. Reading my biopsy results didn’t help! By the time I was scheduled for my Mohs procedure, I was a very Nervous Nellie. My lesion was aShow morelong my temple hairline, so naturally, I was afraid of scarring and just having my head carved! Someone I know had had Mohs done before, and when she asked who my surgeon was, she was so excited for me (no, really!). She told me Dr. Gillen was awesome and I would love him. That truly comforted me to hear. When I checked in at Absolute Dermatology and saw Dr. Gillen’s picture on the wall wearing a pasted on birthday hat, I instantly felt calmer. Everyone on the staff was compassionate and professional and at ease, which I’m sure has the same effect on all the patients as it did on me. I was still nervous but the general atmosphere was one of competency and optimism and matter-of-fact, and I had no doubt they would do all they could to resolve this dermatological interruption in my life. Nick, my medical assistant, was phenomenal and helpful and informational and patient with all my questions. He is ready to apply to medical school, and no doubt, he will be a great physician one day! Dr. Gillen WAS awesome, as stated by my friend. His calm demeanor and easy disposition made me instantly comfortable and trusting with my care. I’ve gone on a bit, but I can’t say enough about Dr. Gillen and Absolute Dermatology! Thank you to everyone there who has obviously been selected for their sensitivity and compassion and personal touch. Thank you for making my experience a positive one. It was so much more than I expected! I came home happy!

This morning I had a MOHS procedure at Absolute Dermatology with Dr. William Gillen. There are multiple procedure videos on their web site (animated), which are helpful to watch prior to your procedure. The procedure was very siShow moremilar to the MOHS video on their web site (recommended & helpful for patients). Dr. Gillen was very friendly and professional, as were his staff, and I felt at ease and comfortable throughout the procedure. They explained what they were going to do up front, and I experienced no pain throughout the procedure. The post procedure pain has been minimal. The procedure room was comfortable as well and I was able to read while waiting for the results. When Dr. Gillen was through, his nurse (Leslie) went through all the wound management information and provided a paper copy of the instructions. I think Dr. Gillen and staff did an outstanding job and I would recommend him to anyone having a need for dermatology surgery. The office was pleasant and conveniently located, near the Shady Grove YMCA. Bravo Dr. Gillen & staff!

Hunter M. • March 25, 2024

I would do it again if needed! I had a Basel-Cell removed from the side of my nose and Dr Gillen was awesome as well as his entire staff. He took his time with me, showed me what he was going to do before he did anything and also showed me his work afterwards. Very pleased with the entire process AND he removed it on the first try so I was very happy he didn’t have to go back and remove more! Many thanks to Dr. Gillen and his staff!!

Patricia F. • March 09, 2024

Procedure went very well. Dr. Gillen’s methodology of ensuring an exactitude of cell removal was greatly appreciated. And his able assistant, as well, was most appreciated. My post surgery first night’s sleep was very poor, as I was unable to secure a comfortable sleeping position, due to right side of head and jaw aching; two Tylenol provided little relief, although taking two Tylenol tablets this a.m. was helpful in providing some relief.

Lucky for me, the Doctor was able to get me on the first pass, so for that I’m thankful

Thomas D R. • February 08, 2024

I needed three visits (two of which were emergency visits) and a lot of pain to eliminate bleeding, I am on anti-coagulants but was assured the bleeding would be a minor issue. After multiple visits, re-attachment of a skin graft and quite a bit of pain, both during my visits and post visit, I will await the healing process for my final degree of satisfaction.

Thomas P F. • February 05, 2024

Positive experience due to expertise of doctor and medical professionals and office staff.
