The problem with that is wait time. Sure if you can get into Penn, or a similarly extremely well known place, they are generally great, but can you get seen in time? They are _extremely_ backlogged for "normal" people. If you know someone or are a VIP, you can perhaps jump the line.

Had to make this calculus myself - was diagnosed with stage 0 melanoma, penn never returned my (multiple) phone calls. So I went with the local Moh's surgeon who removed it 3 weeks after diagnosis. Did I make the right call? I guess I'll find out in a few years
