Dr. James Clune, MD

Expert care with clean removal of stage 3 melanoma. Dr Clune & his team couldn’t have been better with communication, wound care & followup.

I almost never leave medical reviews but felt it might help others to know how great my experience was with Dr Clune at Smilow Cancer Center (Yale New Haven) . For my melanoma surgery I consulted with specialists at Memorial Sloan Kettering, Johns Hopkins and elsewhere before choosing Dr Clune and I couldn’t be happier. Given the lesion was on my face and was invasive, I was trying to balance taking care of the cancer with the cosmetic result. Not an easy task ! I am only 8 days post-surgery and the healing time is long. But Dr Clune and his team were so professional, thorough, organized and compassionate that it has made a huge difference throughout the process. Not just medical but hospital admin staff were terrific. From a results standpoint, the scar is positioned better than I could have hoped. And the plan for medical oncology followup gives me great confidence for the future. If you have a cancer whose removal is cosmetically sensitive, I highly recommend Dr Clune

Dr. Clune is very impressive. He knows his stuff and is very patient-centric. I was very fortunate to have has him as my surgeon to remove melanoma.
