Patient Reviews
Sep 28, 2016
Dr. Karen Benik saved my life. A birthmark I had for years changed color and shape. When she saw it she knew immediately it was skin cancer. She removed it and sent it to an experienced pathologist who said it was nodular melanoma. Very serious. Dr. Benik advised me to see an excellent surgical oncologist specializing in melanoma, Dr. Jakowatz at U.C. Irvine Health.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?
