Dr Newsom is by far hands down the best. I’ve been to other derms but not with the same beside manner and truly caring personality. She explains Tx options clearly and most of all executes. Her technical skills are superb.

I hope an actual human reads this because it’s important to me. Throughout my lifetime, if every doctor I had contact with demonstrated the same level of understanding and dialogue, I would be in a lot better health at 75 years old. I have never had a better more candid honest conversation with an MD. I actually look forward to the next meeting. Very rare for me.

I had miner surgery on my ears where the holes for ear rings were torn .The surgery worked for one ear but not the other. T hole in the one ear was still to big so she has to recur one ear. The Doctor will now close the hole wait 2 to 3 months and re pierce the ear. it makes Sense to get the best results. I am very happy with her decision.

The doctor was great she asked what I felt were important questions. She then took the time to explain what she was going to do before and during the procedure. The doctor and her staff were very caring and compassionate.

Along with being kind and caring, Dr. Newsom is highly skilled as a Mohs surgeon. I’m confident that all the basal cell carcinoma tissue has been removed and the surgery has been performed in an optimal way to promote healing and reduce scarring.
