My experience with Dr. Khorasani was nothing less than stellar. In early July, my dermatologist removed a small growth on my right lower eyelid that turned out to be a basal cell. I was referred to a Mohs surgeon on Long Island (where I live) who I met with and was clearly very qualified to perform the procedure. However, because of the location of the basal cell on my lower eyelid, I was told that I also needed to see an oculoplastic surgeon who would close after the procedure with the Mohs surgeon. So, I would go to the doctors back to back from one office to the other on the same day. So, the Mohs surgeon gave me the plastic surgeon's card and sent me on my way to make arrangements to see him before we could schedule the Mohs procedure. The problem was that the plastic surgeon who was recommended by the Mohs surgeon wouldn't get me in for a consultation for 5 weeks, which meant the procedure(s) would have to take place some time after that. My dermatologist and the Mohs surgeon were both very reassuring that basal cells don't spread and they are very slow growing and, as such, I could wait 5 or 6 weeks to have the procedure(s). That said, I didn't want to wait and I was extremely frustrated by the fact that the plastic surgeon seemingly had zero compassion for the fact that I wanted to get in sooner for a consultation, despite the fact that I essentially pleaded to be squeezed in for a ten minute consultation. Again, I understood that the situation wasn't dire, but I wanted to get it done and over with. It was then that I began doing my own research and found Dr. Khorasani, who was and is completely amazing. I emailed him through his website and the next morning his patient coordinator arranged the consultation the next day. It was during that consultation with Dr. Khorasani that I was put completely at ease about the Mohs procedure. His bedside manner is second to none. Also, rather than recommend an oculoplastic surgeon, give me his or her card and send me on my way, he put a mark on the spot on my eyelid, took a pic with his phone and dictated a text which he sent along with the pic to Dr. Robert Schwarcz, the oculoplastic surgeon who Dr. Khorasani recommended. Within 10 minutes, the procedures were coordinated and scheduled with both doctors to take place a week and a half later. The ease of getting things done with both Dr. Khorasani and Dr. Schwarcz lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. On the day of the procedure, I went to Dr. Khorasani's office and before I knew it, he removed the basal cell. Because of the location on my eyelid, he was very conservative in his approach, but still removed it nearly entirely with the first removal. After testing, he removed a very tiny portion more when he went back a second time and then I was done and packed up to head to Dr. Schwarcz, who did the closing and was equally amazing (and I will review separately). I have never written a review of a doctor before, but I felt compelled to write this one. Not so much for Dr. Khorasani whose reputation and skill speak for themselves, but more so for other prospective patients who find themselves needing Mohs surgery (especially for the first time) and may be dealing with stress, anxiety and/or frustration as I clearly had been. If that's you, I urge you to see Dr. Khorsani. You'll thank me for it.
