Having surgery is a scary experience for anyone. Mohs surgery is unique in that my patient is awake for the entirety of the procedure. I take this very seriously. As the physician I make it my mission to help my patient feel at ease. We talk through everything beforehand, play music, and make sure the patient is comfortable. I especially love talking to my patients throughout their procedure. It gives us an opportunity to connect and helps alleviate some anxiety that naturally comes with being at the doctor.

Dr. Pflederer performed Mohs surgery on my lip. She was personable, reassuring and took time to handle all my questions. I felt comfortable and confident I was in good hands. The Village dermatology staff, from Debra and Nicole at check in to Anna in the surgical suite, were wonderful. Highly recommend Dr. Pflederer and her team.

Experienced & intelligent dermatologist, who is kind, uplifting, and loved by all her patients. She stands out in her expertise and knowledge as a fellowship trained MOHS surgeon. Dr. Pflederer provides an ability to connect to her patient’s, taking time to speak with them and answer questions to ensure they feel comfortable and confident in her care.

Had a MOHS with Dr. P on my nose. It was an invasive basal cell and quite deep requiring a skin graft. She had to recreate the nasolabial fold. Dr. P did an amazing job and not only is she a perfectionist, she is as caring as she is skilled. I am in my 50s and was very fearful of being disfigured given how much tissue had to be removed. At this point several months later you cannot really even tell that cancer was removed. My OB GYN wanted her name in order to recommend her to patients once he saw my healing. She really is the best!
