Catherine Balestra

Dr. Balestra is very professional, caring as well as compassionate. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs Mohs Surgery.

Excellent doctor! We met for a consultation, and she explained every part of the process to me with extreme patience. Surgery is scheduled for next week.

I was referred to Dr. Balestra by my dermatologist for a surgical procedure. She was very pleasant and professional. I would see her again and would recommend her to anyone needing her services.

Careful and timely. First class service. Go!

Dr. B has performed 2 MOHS surgeries on me. The incisions were approx 3" long for each. Both healed without an obvious scar. NONE of the dermatologists I have used in the past has ever done such fine work.

The nurses were friendly, attentive, and worked nicely as a team with Dr. Balestra as she performed a small excision on my neck. The procedure went smoothly with no discomfort. The office reached out to me the following day to check if I was doing OK, which was very appreciated.

Dr Balestra is a wonderful doctor. She was very kind and explained the procedure and made me feel at ease. The entire office was extremely friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.

I was told that I had cancer on my face and I was recommended to Minars Dermatology. When I was told this, I was thinking the worse, that I was going to have this huge scar that was about 3 inches long on my face. The anxiety level was at the top. When I met Dr. Balestra, she made me feel extremely comfortable and kept telling me that I wasn't going to even notice the scar. I am 5 weeks in now for the Mohs surgery she did, and she was right no one can tell I had any surgery She was meticulous, careful and took her time doing what her expertise is. If I need anything else done , she would definitely be my choice. Thank you Dr. Balestra for a great job and the way you treated me during this procedure.

As a Florida resident in the sun for over 80 years my family and I have had over a dozen Squamous or Basal cancers requiring MOHS surgery . Dr. Balestra has performed her medical magic on all of us. Her professional skills are matched only by her positive and friendly demeanor.

Dr. Balestra did my MOHS procedure. Listens and explains everything very well. Did a great job with my procedure. Office staff very friendly and efficient.

Dr. Balestra is an outstanding surgeon. She’s very professional and I felt very safe and comfortable being under her care. Her staff likewise professional and courteous. At all times Dr. Balestra made me feel very comfortable during the entire procedure. I would and will recommend her to friends and family.

Taken in at the time of my appointment. While waiting for results of first cut, realized I didn't charge my phone the night before. On table in waiting room there was a multi plug phone charger. Staff very helpful and friendly. It was obvious they enjoy doing what they do. The following day I received a call from office to check on how I was doing. Glad I was referred to there office.

I have had two MOHs surgeries under the care of Dr. Catherine Balestra. Both of them have turned out beautiful! You can hardly tell that there was anything done on my nose or my ear. While waiting on the phone to make an appointment with Minars Dermatology, I heard that Dr. Balestra did exceptionally well in college. Im not surprised. She seems to be extremely skilled, she explained everything to me so that I could understand, and she is the very nicest doctor that I have ever had. Eventhough she was treating me for a MOHS surgery, she noticed another spot on my leg that she felt like needed attention and I was so thankful for her observation. I highly recommend her for anyone needing MOHs surgery. I have had two MOHs surgeries under the care of Dr. Catherine Balestra. Both of them have turned out beautiful!

Excellent!

Very friendly, caring and knowledgeable

Dr.Balestra performed the Mohs surgery on my nose. She explained everything she was doing. The procedure was painless. She was very attentive and precise with my stiches. My nose looks as good as new!

To tell you the truth I came back to Minors only because they take the insurance I ended up with at my new job. I had to get a small bit of Squamish cell removed from my forehead. It has improved so much from the last time I was here! Everyone was so nice and attentive! Dr Harrison-Balestra was fantastic! She let me know every step of the procedure, was very attentive to anything I said. And then I got a call from the office today to make sure I was doing well. I am so impressed with Minors Dermatology! Thank you! To tell you the truth I came back to Minors only because they take the insurance I ended up with at my new job.

Dr. Balestra is amazing. I had a very large deep cancer on my face near my eyebrow. She totally removed the cancer and RECONSTRUCTED the eyebrow area and matched my eyebrows perfectly. She cares about her patients. She is AWESOME!!

Dr. Balestra is a trustworthy and compassionate physician who skillfully removed my skin cancer from my face. After months of having an area of concern on my nose I went to the dermatologist and was diagnosed with skin cancer. I was able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Balestra for Moh’s surgery within a few weeks of my diagnosis. Her concern for my healing was evident as I had scheduled follow up visits months after my initial surgery. My scar is barely visible but most importantly she removed all the cancer.
