This Dr was very rude and arrogant. He stopped me mid sentence as I began to explain my problem. I asked him to do a sun cancer screening and he said he looked over the area of examination. Not actually a thouruogh examination. This guy was so mean and crusty, I was in tears at one point. Would never recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Smith is a gifted doctor! He is very kind and patient when listening to my problem. He was able to determine the ailment when others were not able to. He cares about his patients and I highly recommend seeing him!

To summarize my experience:1 hour wait time5 minute conversation about my condition1 minute "surgery" with liquid nitrogen and cotton swabs - around $100It also took about 20 seconds to ask a question about having sweaty hands and got the answer that there's no treatment for it. Imagine my surprise when I got my bill and was charged for being diagnosed for having sweaty hands - $100. There were no tests done.When I called questioning the bill I was told that "the doctor doesn't lie and he diagnosed my condition".The bottom line: If you want to have an itemized charge for every question you ask, go ahead and use this doctor.

Dr. Smith diagnosed a problem that no other could identify. He was very caring, interested, and his fee was extremely reasonable. I definitely would go to him again and would recommend him to my friends and family.It was a great experience and he cured me!

After my insurance ran out and I switched to medicare you did seemed unwilling to see me. I know that my skin would be much healthier if you had tried different approaches but you did not suggest anything new. I found your comments about another patient to be unprofessional. Hopefully this treatment was unique to me, though I did nothing to provoke it.
