Douglas J. Fife, MD

I went to Dr. Fife for a consult regarding an ugly & noticeable scar on my nose along with an indent that was the result of a previous skin graft procedure performed by another dermatologist. Dr. Fife discussed 3 options with me, one being a scar excision. He explained in detail what it would involve, what to expect, the results, etc. It involved having surgery again to create a flap to cover the scar and lessen the indentation just above the tip of my nose. Every single one of the office staff was helpful, knowledgeable and very personable. The results of the procedure are beyond my expectation. Excellent surgeon. Excellent bedside manner.

My plastic surgeon very much wanted me to have my Mohs surgery done by Dr. Fife. Dr. Benjamin Rodriguez respects him very much and wanted Dr. Fife to do exactly what he did - remove my basal cell carcinoma without worryingly about the reconstruction, which Dr. Rodriguez did, himself. The result from both surgeons is still healing after one month but will be nearly undetectable.

Excellent physician and extremely talented. A large portion of the outside of my ear had to be removed because of my misspent youth in the sun. I was terrified. Dr. Fife and his kind staff calmed me down and told me exactly what would happen. I’m the kind of person who works best with all the information; Good and bad. This doctor and staff completely understood.
The topper was that Dr. Fife personally called me after each of my procedures. THAT is a compassionate human being and the doctor I want.

Dr. Fife created a whole new portion of my ear by anchoring a flap of neck skin over my ear. He also shaped it to look the same as my other ear. Utterly amazing.
