| - Before I made an appointment I searched a good doctor. Well most of his reviews and the one I read his most likely a good doctor. Made an appointment, got there 15 mins early however got called after 1 1/2 hour :( , took me into the room, questions me why I'm there . Doctor came in , asked me again what's the problem ( can't he looked in my chart what's the problem ? Since I told one of the med assistant?)
To make it short, the med assistant came in and the Doctor telling me to apply this and that without telling me how much it's cost. He never even examine my problem , he's like four feet away . After being said and done in few minutes, told me to come back in a month. Went to their cashier Bought this kit worth $80,thought of trying since expensive!
Went to Walgreens and picked up the one they prescribed. One of the meds they prescribed worth $200 and they never even explain it to me in the office how much it's cost! And insurance won't cover it!
The Pharmacist told me that they have to call the doctors office and ask for the authorization because insurance won't issue it and it'll take like a week to wait.I said why they won't cover it it's a prescribed meds and doctor has signed it. So I called the office and told them what the pharmacist had told me. So I waited and waited til I went back to my next appointment. Went there early and hoping they'll call me early. As I expected got called after an hour or so and I was tired for waiting since I came from my work.
They took me in , doctor came in, see my problem and said oh most of it are gone and I said that there's one here that's still here and he told me oh I'll inject with this and should be gone in 4 weeks! And If that still be there then I'll do a minor cut . So I just said okay politely.
Went to their billing, whoa!!!without explaining she told me had to pay $150, she never explained why I'm paying for amount. I didn't go there for cosmetic, you mean that simple and tiny injection worth $150? That's ridiculous!! Plus I have insurance. What happened to my insurance? Can at least they'll explain it?
Been to this dermatologist in Hawaii for 17 years and had no problem with this doctor. She even gave me a sample to start with. She even checked my problem although its visible for her in my fist visit.She made sure I understand every procedure. She spent time checking my problem. And I didn't stay and waited that long. For entire appointment took only 40 minutes! At their billing? They explained everything what and not the insurance covered. This dermatologist name is Carla Nip-Sakamoto. She's really a great and good doctor to be with. That's why I stayed with her for 17 years and I didn't go anywhere. After my first visit just went back after 6 months then a year just to follow up everything.
I guess I need to find another derm doctor.
