Dr. Hopp’s schedule is generally reserved for skin cancer surgeries which, because of their critical nature, take priority. It is usually easier to schedule initial/non-surgical appointments with one of his associate medical providers because of how far out his schedule is booked. When we book a non-surgical appointment with Dr. Hopp, there’s a chance the patient may get bumped and rescheduled with an associate if there’s a cancer surgery that needs to be done right away.
