Herdener Richard S MD

I have a lot of moles. Hundreds. Maybe thousands. As in, I’m practically a human Dalmatian. Because of this, my paler than paleness, and multiple «is your skin blistered?» sunburns my family often points out worrisome moles while strongly encouraging a visit to the dermatologist. So, after my dad pointed out a «weird «mole on my shoulder while I was visiting, I went to see Dr. Herdener to get it checked out. Unfortunately, Dr. Herdener suggested it be removed (which I was not thrilled about, but I’m also a fan of better safe than sorry).
So did I trade the big, ugly mole for a big, ugly mole-​shaped scar? Not even close! Somehow the good doctor managed to magically stitch my shoulder up in such a way that other than a slightly pale mark, it’s as if the mole was never there. I really appreciate that while he’s a doctor, he’s also aware that aesthetics matter. I’ve been to other dermatologists since, and I can say for a fact (based on a few *lovely* scars) that not all of them are as careful or considerate.
Thanks Dr. H!
