hi lisa - you are right to think that 2 minutes is unacceptable. i'm with the other responder in that mine checks everywhere. not exactly a FUN exam, but very necessary. she is checking IN places that no one has ever checked and pretty much no part of my body is left unchecked. she checks my scalp, asks that i don't wear nail polish, and everywhere else that you can possibly imagine!! this is your health and doctors should be taking the necessary time with their patients. you are wise for recognizing that and for wanting to go elsewhere.

also on the mohs' surgery - it is not painful and its more like plastic surgery so they take their time with you as well. they remove a small part and keep biopsying the area until there is no more cancer. i had to go back three times (waiting room to operating) in order for him to get it all and was there most of the day.

best of luck to you both!
