BOOK APPOINTMENT

I cannot live without holistically caring for patients and making a significant impact on their lives. The gift of practicing dermatology allows for detecting skin cancers, diagnosing difficult life-altering rashes, and enhancing the appearance of patients. As a result of this, I am grateful to improve the status of patients' health, give them a better outlook on their lives, whilst bolstering their self-esteem.

I was very impressed with Dr. Trakismas"s professionalism, but at the same time she was very personable. She not only described what she was going to do, but also described the sensations I would feel. I appreciate how calming she was at a time when I could have been quite nervous. My second visit was just as good as the first. Dr. T is so sweet and this time she added some humor to our time together. My daughter mentioned that she needs to see a dermatologist and I told her to call Forefront immediately. I hope Dr. T can see her as well. She needs a Dr. T because she tends to be anxious about doctor visits and I know Dr. T will put her at ease.
