OP  Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts)
Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,219 | We had a patient in our office last month that had a suspicious area detected by the VELscope. We had our oral surgeon check it out and he agreed that the patient should see my head and neck surgeon at Fox Chase Center.
The surgeon did a biopsy and fortunately it came back negative. Now his wife is mad at us because we sent him to have the biopsy and there was nothing wrong.
Can you believe it?
