To determine if in-office pre-operative consultation has a significant effect on the anxiety level and overall post-operative satisfaction of patients undergoing first time Mohs surgery
This study is designed to determine if having a seperate in-office pre-operative consultation with the dermatologist before having a dermatologic procedure has any effect on patient anxiety levels and satisfaction following the procedure. The goal of the study is to help us understand if pre-operative consultation is beneficial to patients to reduce anxiety and increase satisfaction following the procedure.

| The score on the PSQ-18 survey following the Mohs procedure | The PSQ-18 (aka patient satisfaction questionaire-18) is a validated assessment tool developed to measure holistic patient satisfaction with the aspects of clinical care (assessing six domains of patient satisfaction: technical quality, interpersonal manner, communication, financial aspects of care, accessibility of care and time spent with the physician), and by virtue of its brevity (18 questions taking an average of 3-4 minutes to complete) has great utility for measuring patient satisfaction in the clinical setting. Each question ranges from 1-5. Lower scores are better. The primary null hypothesis for this study is that mean PSQ-18 survey scores do not differ between patients receiving pre-operative consultation versus those not receiving this intervention. | 2 years |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Patient anxiety as measured on the 10-point VAS scale for anxiety | The VAS is a horizontal line with a scale ranging from "no anxiety at all" to "extremely anxious." By measuring the position of the patient's response on the line, a score out of 10 will be generated. The VAS for anxiety will be administered to enrolled patients at three time points: randomization (consent visit), pre-operatively on day of Mohs surgery and post-operatively on the day of the Mohs surgical procedure. |
