Dr. Jacqueline Makerewich (Piggott)

I met Dr.Makerewich in regards to a fairly large lipoma that I had for a very long time on my shoulder. I had consulted with different doctors in the past but didn't feel comfortable to go ahead with the surgery. Dr.Makerewich took the time to explain what this diagnosis was, what the procedure would entail, the recovery process and possible risks. She understood my long term hesitation due to the fact that this surgery would leave a visible scar. She agreed with my wish of having a local procedure and she ensured that all relevant tests would support my decision. During the procedure, she was very reassuring and made sure that I was comfortable at all times. Her staff was very professional and pleasant. On the follow up appointment, she was able to report that the pathology confirmed a benign lipoma. She gave me all the information I needed to continue with this recovery. Overall, she is very knowledgeable and she knows how to discuss these medical matters with everyone not just health care professionals. She is very professional and caring. Her staff at the hospital and her office were very helpful and caring as well.

She is very good. I do like her approach. She explains the problem very well and answers all your question with patience.
