Catherine Harrison Balestra's Online Review Report Card

I had to have a basal cell removed from my face and even though it took quite some time to finally remove it completely, she sutured it in a way that I am sure will minimize as much as possible the scar. In her own words: “she does it the way she would like to be done if it was her face”. This was just done yesterday and I am in no pain. I totally recommend Dr. Balestra if you need Mohs surgery. She loves what she does and that is something you don’t always get. Her staff is amazing too!

Excellent doctor and staff! Very efficient office, on time and on point for customer service.

Office: clean, warm, inviting, efficient Staff: knowledgeable, friendly, happy MD: Friendly, knowledgeable, great bedside manner, gentle, caring. Overall: great experience, I highly recommend

The nurses were friendly, attentive, and worked nicely as a team with Dr. Balestra as she performed a small excision on my neck. The procedure went smoothly with no discomfort. The office reached out to me the following day to check if I was doing OK, which was very appreciated.

Great doctor and support staff

I was told that I had cancer on my face and I was recommended to Minars Dermatology. When I was told this, I was thinking the worse, that I was going to have this huge scar that was about 3 inches long on my face. The anxiety level was at the top. When I met Dr. Balestra, she made me feel extremely comfortable and kept telling me that I wasn't going to even notice the scar. I am 5 weeks in now for the Mohs surgery she did, and she was right no one can tell I had any surgery She was meticulous, careful and took her time doing what her expertise is. If I need anything else done , she would definitely be my choice. Thank you Dr. Balestra for a great job and the way you treated me during this procedure.

As a Florida resident in the sun for over 80 years my family and I have had over a dozen Squamous or Basal cancers requiring MOHS surgery . Dr. Balestra has performed her medical magic on all of us. Her professional skills are matched only by her positive and friendly demeanor.

Taken in at the time of my appointment. While waiting for results of first cut, realized I didn't charge my phone the night before. On table in waiting room there was a multi plug phone charger. Staff very helpful and friendly. It was obvious they enjoy doing what they do. The following day I received a call from office to check on how I was doing. Glad I was referred to there office.

Excellent Dr & very nice environment.

I have had two MOHs surgeries under the care of Dr. Catherine Balestra. Both of them have turned out beautiful! You can hardly tell that there was anything done on my nose or my ear. While waiting on the phone to make an appointment with Minars Dermatology, I heard that Dr. Balestra did exceptionally well in college. Im not surprised. She seems to be extremely skilled, she explained everything to me so that I could understand, and she is the very nicest doctor that I have ever had. Eventhough she was treating me for a MOHS surgery, she noticed another spot on my leg that she felt like needed attention and I was so thankful for her observation. I highly recommend her for anyone needing MOHs surgery.
