Rebecca Ohliger, NP, Philadelphia PA

Was seen by Rebecca Ohliger FNP at Schweiger dermatology. I expressed concern about a mole on my arm that had begun to change shape and color over the last few months. I also made her aware of my family's history of skin cancer. She took a look at my mole and stated that she was not concerned and that if it changed further to come back and then they would biopsy the mole. I did not feel comfortable with her recommendation and made another appointment with Jefferson health dermatology soon after for which they were extremely concerned with one look at it. They biopsied by mole and it was shown to have atypical cells and from their pathologist, they strongly believed would develop into melanoma if had been left untreated. I will now have the rest of the tissue removed. Had I gone off Rebecca's recommendation I very well could be developed skin cancer by not taking early action. I would not recommend going to this practitioner for I feel that they did not take my concerns seriously nor had the knowledge to take pertinent action when necessary.
