“Excellent care for 5 years - from skin cancer to Botox, and in between. Acne, eczema, some one-off skin issues, successful skin cancer checks (DIAGNOSED my small, skin-colored, basal cell carcinoma that looked like a skin tag to me), painless removal of a few benign skin growths in the same visit, and Botox (outer eyes region & scowl wrinkles). My husband knows I get a vague “simple dermatology procedure” that helps me look & feel more youthful, but I’ve never specifically admitted it’s Botox. He thinks Botox always looks “horrible and obvious;” he has no idea that’s what I do every 3-4 months! (I’ve been warming him up to the idea.) He asks why I spend money to minimize my age because I don’t look any older; that’s the point! I also love the bowl of free samples (mini brand name products) at checkout! He also has great bedside manner.”
