Best Doc for Removal of Forehead Lipoma or Osteoma

I found Dr. Edelson on realself. Dr. Edelson removed a lipoma from my forehead. I had a really good experience having this procedure done with Dr. Edelson. The office was beautiful and relaxing. The staff was all courteous and helpful. Dr. Edelson was the only Dr. I could find in the country that would do this surgery without general anesthesia. He used local anesthesia, which was preferable by me and actually a much healthier way to do the surgery. The surgery is actually quick and easy, so it really does not need general anesthesia. Because of this the price was also very reasonable, thousands less than what the other Dr.s wanted to charge. The consultation was done the same day to save time, which I appreciated because I came in from out of town for the procedure. Dr Edelson is very personable and immediately made me feel at ease. His assistant was great as well. Dr. Edelson’s technique for numbing the area was very gentle and comfortable. He was able to remove the lipoma so quickly that the entire surgery was less than fifteen minutes. He hid his incision under my hairline, so that when it healed - the scar would be hidden. I found out later that this was a technique that he himself developed. After the surgery I realized really how much better it is that it was performed under local anesthesia. For such a simple surgery, it seems wasteful to do otherwise. It was SO much more comfortable for me. I was able to walk out of the office and have dinner with a friend. For those of you who have been under general anesthesia, you know that it’s not so quick to recover. I really didn’t experience any pain, there was some soreness later - but that was to be expected. It’s been 6 weeks since the surgery now and not only is there no longer a big ugly lump on my forehead, there is no trace at all that I ever had surgery. My coworkers are all in disbelief. The scar is totally hidden. If you are having an osteoma or lipoma removed, I highly recommend Dr. Edelson. He did a fantastic job, and nobody could beat the price. That’s not a combination you often find. You get a sense from him that he really cares about the comfort of the patient, what’s best for the patient’s health and also getting the best possible results. Thank you Dr. Edelson!
