| - I understand that dermatologic issues can be a hit or miss, but I feel like this office has really taken me for a ride. I came in originally with some sort of skin infection. I didn't get to see the doctor, but a PA, which is fine. But she refused to listen to me at all when she diagnosed me with eczema, and I told her that with my history and previous symptoms (without getting too graphic haha), it seems like it's infected. She said no, just eczema and gave me an rx for a steroid lotion and told me to stop taking hot showers. Needless to say, weeks later, the symptoms are still there and have gotten worse. I come back and see the doctor this time. He says, "Oh no, it's infected." And gives me 2 rounds of antibiotics. I follow up again after symptoms have gotten a little better but have not significantly improved. He diagnoses me again with eczema and just tells me to continue using the steroid lotion. One month later I come back and it's gotten worse again. He takes a look at me and goes, "Well what do YOU think it is?!" and then makes some diagnosis on the fly just to get me out of the office: folliculitis. Dude, I'm a pharmacist, not a dermatologist. That's why I'm paying you $60 per visit copay for. Four visits in and over $200 later, I would have hoped for a resolution by now. I've wasted a significant amount of time, money, stress, and effort on this office. I should've gone with my gut and gotten a second opinion :(
