Forefront Dermatology
Very dismissive and not thorough exam. Poor and improper evaluation and conclusions/diagnosis, procedure and uncomfortable investigation. Unprepared with no knowledge. I do not recommend this doctor. Poor bedside manner, listening skills and speech. My appointment at this office was disappointing. The clinic did not have my prior dermatology records, and there was no awareness of my skin cancer history or the purpose of my visit. The exam was not thorough; only my torso was briefly checked, and a full‑body skin exam was not performed. Given my history, I expected a more careful review, but the visit felt hurried and somewhat dismissive. No additional testing or follow‑up was suggested. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this provider for patients seeking thorough dermatologic care.
