June 16, 2026Cherylin E.Verified patient
I would not recommend this dermatologist. From the start, the provider was curt, dismissive, and made me feel like an inconvenience rather than a patient. They asked me to prepare a detailed list of the products and ointments I use, then barely glanced at it and offered no real explanation, guidance, or treatment plan. She prescribed two ointments that did help my skin at first, but her bedside manner was so poor that I didn’t feel comfortable returning or continuing treatment. The tone throughout the visit felt cold and judgmental, and as a male patient I felt I was being treated with open bias rather than respect. Overall, I left feeling unheard, disrespected, and without any meaningful help, so I will not be returning or supporting this practice
