What Our Patients Say
My procedure today was performed admirably by him, with Deb capably assisting, answering questions, allowing me to feel totally comfortable and in the know on what happens next. I could not be more thankful or pleased.
This was last year. Did it not post then?
Melissa Clapsaddle, the PA-C, was honest in explaining what treatment was not a possibility. She was kind, attentive, and took time to explain my condition. Then she did something I would not have expected. She sent a note to my attending cardiologist because she felt he needed to see and asses my presenting need. Excellent care!
Is awesome. Real assertive and compassionate towards his clients needs. 100%.....Been a patient of his over 10 years. Great Doctor for any kind of skin issues.
Thank You,

Due to biopsy results, I needed to have a procedure and learned best practice is the Mohs procedure. I learned that Highlander Dermatology practice and the providers were ‘top of the heap’ re skills—technical skills as well as human/care skills. Well my experience has NOT disappointed! I did not have one single exchange that wasn’t great! Dr. Straka and his team offered me CARE, not-too-nerve wrecking Mohs procedure experience today! I feel like I’m in good hands!!!!
Always asks all kinds of questions and really takes her time with me every appointment.
Never had a better skin care Dr.
