      For the ocular melanoma I went to an eye doctor, its a standard test where they dialate your pupil, it was a bit uncomfortable but not painful, it lets them look behing the eye.

      PS:  just checked the list of referrals from Sloan and happy to report: my derm Dr. Leonard Bernstein is top on the list!  I heighly recommend him.  He doesn't do checkups, but many in his clinic do, and he's always present (small clinic).

      Hi, I'm in the same boat, had a stage 0 removed last year and history of BCC 3 year ago. I followed your advice here and contaced Erica Lee's office. None of these derms at Sloan see patients for body screens; they only do surgery. However, the friendly lady on the phone from Sloan's derm dept. emailed me a list of derms that they recommend and whow work closely with them.

      I see 2 derms at http://www.laserskinsurgery.com in NYC who I'm very happy with. Dr. Bernstein did my Melanoma surgery and is just about the nices man you'd ever find and very knowledgeable. Dr. Lori Brightman I see for my 3 months check ups as I prefer a female for that. She really takes her time with me, checking my head, even my mouth and sent me to get my eyes checked (for eye melanoma) which I had no idea existed. Together, the both of them take good care of me and its easy to get in with them, they call back promptly and take my insurance (GHI) which not eveyone takes. My BCC Moh's surgery was done there as well (2 stages) and I have NO scar in my face. Amazing work! 

      All the best,
