This study is designed to determine if having a seperate in-office pre-operative consultation with the dermatologist before having a dermatologic procedure has any effect on patient anxiety levels and satisfaction following the procedure. The goal of the study is to help us understand if pre-operative consultation is beneficial to patients to reduce anxiety and increase satisfaction following the procedure.
