| - For the non-specific version of the review, this is a wonderful practice. When calling for an appointment I was informed they were 3-4 weeks out for an opening and got a first thing in the morning appointment with their P.A. Located in Ballantyne, my GPS took me right to the building - signage in the parking lot clearly listed the practice and the building numbers were big and easily seen. Plenty of parking. Clean, lovely building.
The lovely young lady at the front desk was fantastic after I walked in at my appointment time (thank you morning Ballantyne traffic, YOU SUCK!). Filled out the typical paperwork (which is also available online, but of course I forgot to print that out and take it with me). I was called back a few minutes later and the P.A., Renee Hazelton, that I had my appointment with, saw me promptly. She explained what she was going to do and what it was going to cost, since it was not covered by insurance. She got down to business, handed me a set of post-procedure instructions, and I was on my way within minutes. Checkout was a breeze, with another lovely friendly young woman, and I was on my way to breakfast about 30 minutes after I arrived. There was no sitting half-naked in a room for 45 minutes - awesome.
For the more specific and medical version (stop now if you don't have skin tags)... I had some skin tags in places where clothing was irritating them. My previous GP, before he retired before dealing with the fallout of Obamacare, would take care of these for me in a most painful and not terribly cosmetic nature with freeze spray, some scissors and cauterized the wound with silver nitrate which was unsightly and burned like the flames of hell. For the dermatological version that I got at Derm Care of Charlotte, there was novocaine, some snips with very sharp scissors and some band aids. There was minimal pain - and it wasn't even pain, really, very minor pinches - from the novocaine shots, and there was minimal bleeding. Skin tag removal, which isn't covered by insurance, was $25 per tag, with $150 being the charge of 6-15?(some number in the teens, I can't remember...). I had three that were giving me issues, but since I was there I decided to have her do a clean sweep. As the novocaine wore off a few hours later, a couple of the more sensitive skin spots burned a tiny bit, but nothing major, and the day after I was able to take off the band aids and it was like they were never there.
I had put this off for months, going through pain and irritation, from the thought of my previous removal technique, but this was seriously a breeze. Should I get more or need other dermatological care, I will not hesitate to return to Renee Hazelton at Dermatology Care of Charlotte.
