    Person in that area had a shave biopsy with a melanoma diagnosis.  Derm wants him to return in 2 days to have the entire mole removed. Do not know the name of the MD, but would like some suggestions for a reputable clinic or specific MD.

    Thanks, 6 year survivor

      I live in Northern California, but I know Dr. Steven O'Day is in the L.A, area. Hope this helps!

      Dr Roger Lo is a great Melanoma dermatolgist at UCLA. CLA also has several top-notch Melanoma Oncologists: Dr Ribas and Dr Chmielowski. We did two years and 3 clinical trials with them.

      Good luck

      If you want a drive UCI –  Dr Smith…She is excellent…doing research cell research on melanoma. There is a surgical oncologist there Dr Jackowitz that is highly recommended…(though i haven't seen him personally) UCLA is closer though. I am in ventura and have struggled finding a derm here…I simply choose to drive the 80mi rather than cont. a hunt and peck ordeal that landed with 2 bad biopsies.
