| - I am so happy I found a good dermatologist.
After reading reviews for a few offices, I noticed that most patients are seen by a physicians assistant instead of the doctors themselves so I decided to go with Dr. Fife's office. The next available appointment was two weeks out the time that I needed it, so I scheduled it. Charlene on the phone was really nice and emailed me the forms that way I wouldn't have to fill out any paperwork in the office, she told me I would be seeing PA Brittny. I was also told the visit could cost anywhere from $60-$90, depending on what I would need done, we will see once they bill my insurance.
One thing I have to point out, the yelp listing address is wrong, Dr. Fife's office is located at 6460 Medical Center Street, Suite 350, Las Vegas, NV 89148, which is located on the 3rd floor of the building. If it weren't for Sandra R.'s tip, I would have gone to their former location.
The day of my appointment finally came, the office is very modern, looks a little bit cold in comparison to other offices but the staff is really nice. Charlene is the one who greeted me, took my paperwork and insurance cards. Make sure you're well groomed because they take a picture of you. I had rolled out of bed, took a shower, and left for my appointment so they now have a really bad picture of me, haha. My appointment time was set for 8 a.m. there was only one other person in the waiting room with me, Charlene pointed out the waters, juice, and crackers they had for patients waiting, I thought that was a nice touch.
I was called back to the room within 10 minutes of taking a seat. I was asked some information and was told that Brittny would be with me as soon as she was done with the patient before me. The wait was only 20 minutes before she came in the room. We discussed what was going on with my skin and asked if I preferred oral or topical treatment. +1, I am highly against ingesting pharmaceuticals so I am glad that she gave me the option of choosing. She explained to me in great detail what I needed to do and how the medication worked, she is very friendly, knowledgeable, and competent. I was very happy with my appointment, I was in and out in 40 minutes. Before I left I was given samples of the topical cream that I was prescribed and I was also told I might be able to get it cheaper through a company they use vs. my pharmacist, that's good information to know. I had a very positive first visit so I look forward to my next appointment.
