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

Dr. Salgado is the most knowledgeable Dermatologist we have ever experienced. She is very thorough with her exams, what ointment(s) / cream(s) to use when and where, very accurate diagnosis, very easy to have a prescription refilled, and takes her time to make sure we are satisfied before we leave the office. I highly recommend Dr. Salgado to our friends and family. We are very lucky to have her as our current Dermatologist.
