I find that developing and maintaining a trusting and lasting doctor-patient relationship is of the utmost importance, because a strong doctor-patient relationship can help instill confidence and empower patients to have an active role in the treatment of their skin conditions.

I had a very rough procedure. But, not be of the service or care. It was because of the sensitivity I had to a medication during the procedure. But Dr B, Nurse Rachel were so attentive the entire time and so kind, caring, understanding and encouraging: I can never thank them enough!
