Dr. John Ingraham, MD

Went to Ingrahm for what should have been a simple removal of a piece of superficial melanoma. I ended up with a 5-inch scar, and an additional inch and a half scar from the removal of lymph nodes. Worse, he promised to take out a sebaceous cyst at the same time, but it was not on the schedule. He blamed me for it not being on the schedule, saying that he wanted to take it out 'a month ago'. Ingraham did not offer to take out the cyst 'a month ago'. I postponed the original surgery because I did not want cut when I had an active infection. I have a poor immune system, and have had multiple infections from surgeries. I was not going to have someone cut me when I already had an active infection. Ingraham did not offer to take out the cyst at the original surgery date, he just warned me that having an active infection increased the likelihood that HIS surgery for the melanoma could become infected. For skin cancer removal, be prepared for a giant cut and aggravation.

I was diagnosed properly and being scheduled for asap surgery by him until he found out my injury was a workers comp claim , he then reversed his diagnosis and claimed I had a pre-existing injury ( I didnt as confirmed by Dr Roth in Philly) which cost me the use of both my hands and my means of livelihood , 10 years has passed and I can thank this jerk for turning what wouldve been a minor surgery into a permanent injury and loss of function all over money

I had an acute case of cellulitis in my hand and was transferred from a small country hospital to Hershey, and placed under the care of Dr. Ingraham and his team of residents. I received such excellent care and credit them for stopping the bug so it didn't do further damage to my hand structure. He is an excellent communicator and possess a very nice and comfortable bedside manner. Mrs. A.M.
