Gale Sanders, Gadsden

“I was extremely pleased with my experience at Southern Skies. Dr. Mario and his NP, Adrienne, removed a large basal cell on the top of my lip. It was a very extensive procedure resulting in more than 40 external stitches. Within a month the scar was barely noticeable. Much care and thought were given to how and where to make the incisions. Taking into account my facial creases, wrinkles, etc., the scar is almost completely hidden. I recommend them highly!”

Rebecca Long, Gadsden

“I’m very pleased with the care and concern of this staff. Dr. M did a great job on my ear. The reconstruction looks wonderful. You have to look really close to tell anything was done. They are professionals, but they treat me like family.”

Michael Brown, Ohatchee
