Many patients commend Dr. Sebastian for his diagnostic skills and effective treatment, particularly in serious cases like melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma. They appreciate his ability to perform timely biopsies and surgeries, often noting his thorough explanations during procedures. However, several reviews highlight significant concerns regarding the quality of patient interaction, citing feelings of being rushed during appointments, inadequate time for questions, and a perceived lack of empathy. Issues with office staff, such as poor customer service and scheduling problems, also detract from the overall experience. While some patients feel reassured by his expertise and the competence of his team, others express frustration over the impersonal nature of their visits and the office environment. Overall, experiences vary widely, with a noticeable divide between those who value his medical proficiency and those who seek a more personalized approach to care.
