Brief Summary

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

Conditions

Anxiety; Surgery

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• 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.
