He was effective, efficient and extremely persistent.
Dr. Zito did an amazing job fixing my left ear. I had skin cancer outside and inside my ear that had spread to 4 places. I was afraid of loosing part of my ear. He was effective, efficient and extremely persistent. He kept removing skin until the cancer was fully removed …he reconstructed my ear with skin from behind my ear….probably looks better than before!!!

Dr.Zito has great bedside manners and compassion I urge you to see him if you have any issues.
What a pleasant doctor. Living in South Florida I grew up on Miami Beach the boat life never thinking about the sun damage I was exposed to. I had a basal cell carcinoma on my chest he immediately detected it and took action. He had to go in twice to remove all margins. It was a very scary moment for me but he and his staff made me feel at ease. I am grateful, it could have been worse. I highly recommend Dr.Zito over and over. The pictures are 6 months apart. Dr.Zito has great bedside manners and compassion I urge you to see him if you have any issues.
