He did an unnecessary deep biopsy that left a deep gash on my face, then refused to talk to me, phone me or have any contact with me when I wanted to ask him what to do about it.

Staff was polite and very friendly. The doctor on the other hand, well I understand being blunt and informative but this was beyond that. When one is told they are lying and have things that no tests have been run for in that office, there tends to be a problem. When one is pretty much told not helping you, you have to suffer have a nice day there is a problem.

Waited about 35 minutes to see him then he spent about 20 min discussing my skin type, precautions, checking for spots on my arms, legs, back, stomach and chests. He also covered what I should eat vs what is very bad. I rather enjoyed the visit as I learned a lot, deserved some criticisms, satisfied with the visit as a whole. I did have a keritosis on my upper lip which he gave me a shot to numb pain and then cauterized the spot. He also told me to keep applying vaseline so I would not scar. I have had this done with freezing before and expect the spot to be gone with in a few months. Which is normal. I have another visit in 4 weeks to follow up and will repost then as well.
