Dr. Amani A Abdel-Maguid, MD

I saw Dr. Amani Maguid a couple of years ago because two epidermoid/keratinous cysts abruptly appeared on the right side of my forehead—one midway up its front and one above the temple next to the lateral hairline—and I had also a pre-existing sebaceous cyst just inside the center of my upper hairline. She decided to inject all three of the cysts with cortisone, and when I politely asked her what other treatment modalities were available on the off-chance the cortisone didn't work, she snapped, "The cortisone always works!" Well, it didn't work; and as if that weren't enough, she left a small scar over the epidermoid/keratinous cyst midway up the front of my forehead because she ruptured a blood vessel during injection and did a very poor job suturing shut the resulting aperature. (I then made an appointment with the plastic surgeon who operates out of the same building she does, Dr. Dr. Alex Colque, who was able to remove the cysts with minimal scarring.)
