She was good--the visit was brief but thorough, and she explained treatment options for some of the noncancerous growths on my skin without going into a lot of detail.

I feel like the visit was a waste of my time. The doctor doesn't appear to have extensive experience. She talked to me for less than ten minutes and determined that she wasn't able to assist me. It was a really poor experience. I did leave that visit feeling disappointed that I have to seek another Dermatologist.

The care giver asked me to describe my problem. She then explained the ailment and the necessary treatments. She listened and Answered my questions. Told me my options and asked if I agreed with the treatment. Told me what yo expect during treatment and checked in on me while applying treatment.
