It's probably not her fault, but my dermatology appointments often seem to be too rushed. Sometimes I feel that more discussion is needed about my skin problems, what to do about them, why they are changing, and the effectiveness of ongoing treatments.

THE problem is her availability. Unable to book my annual visit very far in advance, by the time I got on her calendar, I had to wait SIX months!!! She's a fabulous doctor, but the back up to see her is really very silly.

The past 2 full body exams resulted in a glance at areas I mentioned of concern, only. There is no full body exam yet I will be charged for one. And the bandages placed after are so minimal that blood is dripping from the site, down my body and onto the hallway floor, lobby floor. Good grief. Visit before last I had to buy a new pair of shoes upon leaving as my show was blood soaked bc I was not bandaged properly. When I went back to the door 4 or 5 girls quickly attended to me, and even attempted to clean my shoe but it shouldnt have happened. This visit resulted in the same just not as bad. What is going on?!

Exploring all options for a cure. Allowed my daughter in room to discuss care. Prompt response to my message through portal . Hoping we can find a cure for this “angry” rash as Dr. Salgado described it
