Dr. Samantha Shaw Wyatt, MD

I had a toenail clipping laboratory tested. Later I had a call saying nothing was found, but I should come back for further testing. I was told not to clip my nails, and given an appointment. I went back and Dr. Wyatt simply said there was no need for another test. The discoloration was probably from stress. I have no clue why I was told to return.

Very professional and Dr. Wyatt has helped me immensely.

I was sick with pneumonia and I called the office upon my return back to work when I realized I had missed the appointment. The receptionist was un-willing to work with me and waive the fee so I could re-schedule. She just stated well you missed the appointment and we needed a 24 hour notice. I understand I was a no-show. I was willing to re-schedule and give them my $50 that I was charged for the no show. Her staff was rude on the phone and very unwilling to help.

I have found Dr. Wyatt and her staff to seem genuinely interested in me as well as just what is going on physically. All the staff in the office are well trained and keep the office running smoothly. Dr. Wyatt has always treated me as her top priority whenever I have had interactions with her, whether through the portal or in the office. I have confidence in her knowledge and treatment.

Communication breakdown; Important information not given to patient by the phone staff in a timely manner; phone receptionist denied medical requests and made judgements that were outside her expertise, while contradicting herself, which made her lack of knowledge evident. Dr. Wyatt is excellent, but the staff seems to lack accountability, and this behavior hurts the reputation of the practice.

I visited Dr. Wyatt twice. I found that Dr. Wyatt had an odd attitude toward me, like she was not interested in me. At that time, I just needed a prescription refill which she gave me. When I tried to make a second appointment, the woman who answered the phone would not make the phone, almost berating me for not paying my bill for the first visit. (This was a few years ago.) I explained that my insurance would pay the bill and I inquired as if it had been submitted. We went round and round, so much so that I finally stopped by the office to straighten this out. The claim had not been properly filed - not my fault. Still, what an awful way to treat a patient. I went to Dr. Wyatt a second time (shortage of dermatologists in Decatur) about a cyst I had and a spot that looked like a shingle. She looked at it, said she did not know what it was and did nothing. I was dismissed. Others have also felt that Dr. Wyatt has room for improvement, in her bedside manner and in her quality of… treatment.

Despite this office being very busy, they are extremely thorough and spend a great deal of time with you at your visit. They explained my diagnosis very well in a way I could understand. The nursing staff was exceptional, the Army vet nurse has a great beside manner and makes you forget you are undressed and nervous. Most thorough skin exam I have ever had!

Dr. Wyatt was professional and had a great bedside manner. I was very nervous about the removal of a mole and before I knew it its was over, I had been distracted from my nervousness by her conversation. Staff was polite and professional . Nice waiting area. I also had a skin tag frozen off, one should note it can take a week or two to disappear as mine did.

Very thorough exam. I felt that I was in good hands. Dr. Wyatt even looked for moles between my toes! I have to have regular skin checks due to the number of moles I have. I always have a good experience and get called back quickly with any results from biopsies.

Had a wonderful experience with this excellent doctor and her staff. Thank you!
