Dr. Pricha Bunyasaranand, MD

I personally don't think it should be that difficult to get a doctor to listen! However, this doctor doesn't seem to think listening to his patients to be a problem. He walked in the room with a diagnosis of psoriasis, when I explained that wasn't what I had he ignored me and just kept on with his diagnosis and treatment. When I said I wasn't there for a diagnosis but because my hematologist wanted me to get a biopsy to compare to a previous biposy and why, he dismissed that and insisted I had psoriasis. I said , no I didn't that I was producing too many mast cells and believed along with my allergy doctor I had something called Mastocytosis. He disagreed. I just needed a biopsy not his "psychic" thoughts that just by looking at me he could decide what was wrong. I'm not a one size fits all. I have medical disorders that are unusual and don't fit in a preselected box! And it would be great if he had just shut up and listened to me!

Dr Bunya has a keen eye and was able to discern a small basal cell carcinoma that appeared on my right shin. He excised the area and sent off a sample to the lab that verified his diagnosis. The scar from the excision is faded and is a small price to pay. His early recognition and diagnosis were key. He is a very caring and qualified dermatologist - interested more in his patient's health than in "playing games."

Was very satisfied with what he told me. Very professional. Very nice staff.
