Patient stories

Marianne Kock

Marianne Kock had several spots of basal cell carcinoma on her face removed with Mohs surgery – paid for by her health insurance.

5 huge stars from me.

I have nothing but good things to say about Skin Cancer Clinic. Everyone without exception is so incredibly nice and really skilled.

I came with a number of spots of basal cell carcinoma on my face and had been referred by my dermatologist to have them removed with Mohs surgery. Since Bispebjerg Hospital in Copenhagen had a very long waiting time, I chose to use my health insurance. At first, though, they refused to pay, and Bolette in reception was so nice and good at helping me. So I pressed them, and the insurance company ended up accepting it – so remember not to take no for an answer.

And what a fantastic treatment I have received all the way. Everyone makes you feel completely safe about lying down in the chair and being operated on, and there is nothing they won't do for you. I have not experienced anything like it before – not even at private clinics – so thank you so much for that.

Unfortunately, I have seen several people with not so nice skin grafts after the same treatment as mine, but where Mohs surgery wasn't used – where they didn't get it all the first, second and sometimes third time, or where a much larger area than necessary was removed. That doesn't happen with Mohs surgery: EVERYTHING is removed, but only what is necessary.

Best recommendations and greetings from Marianne, my sister and my faithful mother, who was the driver.
