Patients Seen: Adults

I believe in patient focused, indi­vid­u­al­ized care that involves edu­cat­ing patients on their diag­noses, devel­op­ing an indi­vid­ual treat­ment plan and fos­ter­ing patient sat­is­fac­tion. I encour­age patients to ask ques­tions and under­stand the man­age­ment of their skin can­cers or oth­er skin conditions.

"Dr. V. Lichon was very succinct and simple in the way that she communicated with me. I appreciated this because it is difficult to remember complicated or a lot of new information whilst undergoing a procedure. I also asked if she would talk with me to tell me what was going to happen next in each phase so as to reduce my anxiety and she was great about that too."
