This is how patient care should be provided. I was able to get an appointment right away when my own dermatologist couldn't see me for months. The staff was very friendly, the wait was short, and I received a higher level of treatment than from any of the three MD dermatologists I've seen previously. Finally found a provider where patient care is the priority.
