Dr Shamly Dhiman performed surgery on my daughter's face for a basal cell carcinoma. We were not…read moreable to use a dermatologist because my daughter is mentally handicapped and needed to be put under for the procedure. The dermatologist said that I would need a general surgeon to do surgery and referred us to Surgical Specialists of Charlotte. I would not recommend Dr. Dhiman for surgery on the face. The area that was removed was under her right eye. Dr. Dhiman only used 4 surface level stitches to close the incision. There were no stitches used that dissolved in order to keep the incision from coming apart. When the stitches were removed a week after the surgery, the incision completely opened up leaving an ugly hole in her face. The after care instructions were not correct for surgery on the face. She told me just to use iodine and keep it dry. The dermatologist told me to use Vaseline to keep it moist. The iodine burned so badly because it was an open wound. I was only able to use it once. I'm not sure why her instructions were completely different from what information that I was told by others who had had the same surgery and by the dermatologist. There was no follow up appointment even though the incision opened up. I asked if they wanted me to bring her in and they said it wasn't necessary. Her primary care physician is the one who removed the stitches due to the bad weather when it snowed. We couldn't get to the office due to the weather and the weekend. We didn't want to wait until the next week because the longer the stitches stay in the face the more scarring there can be. As of now, the scar on her face is very obvious. The dermatologist said that she would most likely need plastic surgery in order to smooth it out. Given that she would have to be put under for that, we won't be having that done. Dr. Dhiman was a nice lady and she was very kind at the pre op appointments. I just would not recommend her for this type of surgery. Also, while she was under anesthesia, they drew blood to run some tests on her. Whoever did the blood draw, stuck her arm and hand five times and left her arm badly bruised. That took about weeks before the pain in her arm was better. I know that it wasn't a problem with her veins because I saw them put the IV in her other arm with no issues before the surgery.

I went in to see one of their doctors in January. He's told me that I would need surgery and it…read morewould be scheduled by the end of the week. I have yet to have a phone call from this establishment and I have called the surgery scheduler who comes up with excuses why she can't get me on the schedule. She's busy she's rearranging the Dr. schedule, she's overbooked and having to rework everything. It does not take three months to schedule somebody. Maybe they need a new scheduler??
