Rebecca D Thanks you Dr. Book
5/30/23 was my first visit to see Dr. Book (in his Trumbull, CT office) for a Squamous cell carcinoma on my right leg. Not knowing what to except was pretty stress full for me so my anxiety was very high. Tracey, the nurse who assisted Dr. Book in the procedure was fantastic. I explained to her my reaction to needles and my technique to deal with them (Lamaze breathing) and she assured me that anyway I felt comfortable dealing with this was fine with not only her but the doctor as well. She kept offering a reassuring voice durning the procedure keeping me calm and comfortable. As for Dr. Book, he was fantastic! He was very empathetic and reassuring the entire time, taking care of everything I needed done in a very calming, professional and efficient manner. He explained everything he was going to do and was doing while he was doing it and went over my after care in detail. All I can say is if you need a procedure like this please do not hesitate to give Dr. Book a call.

I had two squamous lesions removed by Dr. Book this week. One was very small and the other medium sized on my right cheek. He removed both in a single cycle. I just removed the bandage and the wound looks fantastic. It may take a long wait to get in to see him. But he is very much worth the wait. I highly recommend him!

From the moment I entered the office, I was greeted and the staff introduced themselves. I was nervous about having the basal cell removed from my ear but my anxiety was relieved by the team that explained everything to me. Dr. Book was precise and his expertise in this field was was evident. They were working together like a well-oiled machine. I highly recommend this group. Thank you all for caring for me and the follow up phone call the next morning..

I am so disgusted with Dr book and staff!!!! Vey unprofessional and not informative about pre or post treatment!! I ended up in the ER with abnormal swelling to my face after he treated my cyst on my forehead, which was never told could happen or that it was normal. And to add to the chaos my results were told by a unsympathetic receptionist, not even the doctor himself!!! Do not go to his practice, heed my warning !!

I can"t believe this doctor has 5 stars! He scarred my face when removing a cyst and was extremely rude. I don"t usually rate any doctor but I thought people should know about this doctor.

I have seen Dr. Book for over 5 years for 5 procedures for basal skin cell cancer removal. Two of my surgeries involved 2 tattoos , Dr. book was very respectful of my body art and very patient with his closure of area that required no touch up work. I am very greatful for Dr. Book and his skills for diagnosing and removing the skin cancer, the wait time between the removal and diagnosis is long but one must realize that patience means the medical issue will be removed.
