The procedure was more complicated than I thought, but Dr Dickinson and her staff did a tremendous job. They managed pain during the procedure well, kept me informed what was happening, and were friendly and professional throughout. I would highly recommend them.

Positive: Dr is timely, polite, understood primary skin condition right away and provided options for treatment. The office staff is polite and efficient, facility is clean. I’d recommend the practice. Not so great: she couldn’t help me with a skin infection from Seborrheic dermatitis on my outer ear canal, said that dermatologists don’t diagnosis skin conditions in that area and didn’t have the ear scope to exam the outer ear canal. I thought that was odd—I didn’t understand that - so I had to make another trip to urgent care for a topical antibiotic. Maybe it was miscommunicated by me that it was a skin infection and not an inner ear problem? I don’t know-but I’ll give the benefit of doubt in this case.
