I feel that Natalie Hart may have saved my life. I had been seen every year for 5 years by another Geisinger dermatologist with concerns about cancer on my forehead where throughout my life I have had multiple episodes, numerous positive biopsies, and Mohs procedures in the spot where I had a hemangioma removed with interstitial radium needles when I was 8 months old. I had pointed out a spot I found suspicious and year after year been told it was nothing. In March of 2025 I insisted it felt just like the other times I had cancer there but was told I was wrong and if it itches or burns it is not cancer. Unhappy with that response and becoming increasingly worried, I called and got an appointment with Natalie Hart . She took a biopsy immediately. It was cancer and it had spread. You can check my chart I have had 3 very painful surgeries to take care of this and am still in pain and have a rather large scar . My leg from the skin graft is still burning and I have had to suspend my aquatic therapy which was giving me a lot of help with my compression fractures pain in my back. If Natalie hadn't listened to my concern that cancer would still be spreading. I feel Natalie Hart was truly present and listening and I hope whomever needs to hear this knows that that is the difference between between general medical care and exceptional medical care. Natalie is a gem.
