“The billing situation is really complicated at Dermatology Specialists. Every time I'm there, it takes repeated phone calls and multiple weeks to get an itemized receipt (for FSA reimbursement).
The service is fine -- the office/logistics situation is very inefficient. The actual receptionist cannot provide an itemized bill of service.”

“There was virtually no wait when I arrived at the office. The front desk associates were very welcoming. The providers made me feel very comfortable and were thorough.”

The appointment with Rachel Zankin went well up until she biopsied a mole on my leg. The assistant treated the wound with Vaseline and a 1" wide bandaid. Because of the local anesthetic, I didn't notice the issue until my pant leg was soaked through. It took several layers of gauze to contain the bleeding for the next few hours before I was able to go home, and that is after the approx. 2 oz I lost in the 20 minutes after I left the office.
The office as a whole needs to have better standards of wound care. Either cauterize the incision or apply better bandaging.

Zero follow up on a concerning medical issue. Sent me for x rays and never called me to provide me with the results. Ended up going to another doctor.
