Dr. Jeffrey Walter Sassmannshausen, MD

I missed a botox appointment and was charged 700 dollars. I do not know how they arrived at that amount but I had never missed an appointment in about ten years of going to them. Yes, of course it is my fault and I take responsibility for it but 700 dollars seems excessive and I have spent thousands at this physician office over the years Harsh!

This doctor is completely unprofessional and has zero bedside manner. Going in for an initial acne appointment, I was asked at least four to five different times by incredulous nurses and the doctor why I wasn't on birth control. I understand that birth control medicine can affect acne, but taking BC isa personal decision and saying, "no," once should be sufficient for the average person to comprehend. When Dr. Sassmannshausen asked where my ance issues were, I began to take off my jacket to show him my back and chest acne. He decided to grab the front of my camisole and pull it down, pretty much exposing me to himself and the two nurses in the room, before even asking if he could touch me or tell me what he was doing. I was embarrassed by this and astounded by his rushed, rude and impersonal manner. Neither him nor his nurses gave me any information about the medicines that were prescribed and I was ushered out of there so quickly, I didn't even get a chance to ask any questions. I… don't care how busy you are, never act like the patient you are seeing is not as important as your next one, and NEVER touch a patient without telling them first. Never going to this Derm ever again.

Dr Sassmannshausen saw me briefly to take a biopsy. He didn't even do the surgery for the skin cancer, his assistant did. furthermore I was harassed twice about paying my bill and I hadn't even been billed yet the second time. I have an 826 credit score and I am anal about paying bills on time. I was even confronted about it in front of other patients in the waiting room. All these people want is money as you can tell by the elaborate waiting area. Go to a real dermatologist and not the botox squirter at 3 rivers dermatology in ft wayne,in!

Dr. Sassmanhausen is fabulous!

I had heard that this was a good derm. He was not. He was seeing me for a dermatitis on my scalp with some associated hair loss. He asked me an inappropriate question about other areas of hair loss with his nurse out of the room. I am also in medical and have to ask patients sometimes very delicate questions. His question was deliberate and not necessary to my condition. I was very offended. That should not have been his first question. Also he was not skilled in this area of treatment, but did not refer me to another provider. I went to the Cleveland clinic and received good care and a fix for the dermatitis. He , on the other hand stated that when skin is affecting hair that you will never get your hair to return, especially eyelashes. Not true as mine are all back , long and thick again. I would never recommend this doctor .

While I have never been to Dr. Sassmannshausen, I have heard that people are very satisfied with him, and he is very qualified. If I needed a dermatologist, I would go to him based on the complimentary remarks I have heard about him. The reason for the 5 star rating is all the good things I have heard about him.

If he cannot figure it out nobody can!! Love this place!! I recommend it to my friends all the time!!

He is an absolute genius with everything from severe cystic acne and skin cancer to knowing EXACTLY where to place botox and fillers. Staff is always very kind and efficient and the new office is pretty plush and pleasant.

I felt cheated by this doctor. After telling him I could not afford to buy hundreds of dollars worth of medication each month, he kept prescribing only name brand (no generic). He will do everything in his power to make you buy name brand. It makes me think that he is either getting paid consulting fees or being sent on trips by the pharm companies. Unless you want to spend lots of money (I have great insurance) stay away from him.
