Report
The office is nice and clean. But I went for thinning hairline and they did a biopsy and they told me it was hormonal and the only thing they said was to try rogaine. Literally gave me nothing else but that, kind of felt like "oh well". So I would definitely try a different derm that's more involved and concerned.

Was not a happy camper front desk people were not friendly at all. They called me back and the young lady came in to ask me what problems I was having she was very friendly and nice. Then a lady came in to do the exam I guess it was a PA not sure she was not friendly and rushed through the exam was not very happy with this don't even feel confident she made a correct diagnosis probably because she rushed through.
She was to send in a prescription for me and said I would here from the pharmacy in a couple of days it's been a week and two days so I call the doctors office and they said for me to call the pharmacy so I did and they had been given the wrong phone number. I myself had to get it straightened out. So know not a happy camper!
