Early this year we had evaluated a patient for an implant-retained denture and determined that the patient was not a candidate - but recommended they get a biopsy of a lesion Dr. Amalfitano noticed during the appointment. Today we received a call that after three separate biopsies, the patient was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma. Removal is scheduled and the case is hopeful, due to being caught early. The patient stated that although they had seen multiple other dentists prior to this, none but Dr. Amalfitano had noticed and remarked on it! He expressed gratitude for Dr's expertise.
This is such a good reminder of why it's important to get second opinions and see specialists! We take pride in being honest, precise, and committed to your health. Thank you for putting your trust in us. We hope you have a blessed day!
