[Anonymous]

Looking for recommendations for plastic surgeons located in DC or VA for mole removal. I've heard about the following--anybody have experience with them?

Dr Jules Feledy is very good (Friendship Heights). Don't know the ones you've mentioned.

Another vote for Dr. Feledy. He removed three from my face/neck.

Why plastic surgeon versus a dermatologist?

When the mole is removed, the doctor needs to suture the area. Better to have a plastic surgeon sewing up your face. . . .

OP, I take it you probably have a PPO plan so you don't need a referral to a specialist? If you have a good dermatologist you like, then he/she probably can recommend a plastic surgeon. I, too, would still try to research as best as I could on that doctor, though, before going straight in for an appointment.
