Dr Wheatley was fantastic. Truly did an amazing job talking me through things, giving me advanced notice of anything she was going to do (I.e., give an injection, touch my skin, etc.), gave clear instructions, did a good job of laying out my options (ie., we can remove this today or you can come back within a few weeks, if we don't remove this one and the other one comes back as positive for malignancy, we'll need to remove the other one soon, etc.), gave me some fun facts on my birth mark and why my nail injury from 2 years ago still looks like that, made sure I was comfortable with the medical scribe and scribe-in-training being there, adapted when she could sense I was awkward about showing something, and the procedure itself was done so quickly and painlessly and I couldn't have asked for the appt to have gone better. This is a genuine review and I'm very grateful.

Dr. Wheatley is the best derm I've ever had. She's thorough and careful with her exams. She's also personable and warm, which makes the experience less unpleasant.
