I first saw Dr. Curcio for treatment for a basal cell skin cancer on my left arm. After she excised it there was a long incision due to the size of the original lesion. She gave me clear and simple directions on how to take care of it. It healed beautifully. After a short time you could barely see evidence of the incision. She is very gentle in performing the surgery.
Later, after a full body check, she found a rough spot on my left calf which three other dermatologists (over a period of five years) had told me was due to aging. She biopsied it and it was a squamous cell cancer. It needed Mohs surgery. I am 73 years old and she told me that areas on the lower part of your body can take longer to heal. But I followed her instructions again on how to take care of it and it healed perfectly and quickly with no noticeable scar. She is a genius surgeon.
I am very happy to recommend Dr. Curcio as a dermatologist and a Mohs surgeon. I think she is the best! I grew to think of her not just as a wonderfully skilled doctor, but also a friend.
We miss her here in California.
