Forefront Dermatology
Dr was distracted and seemed uninterested. On the other has, he successfully treated my condition. His assistants were knowledgeable and helpful. Still, I think I’m going to be looking elsewhere for a dermatologist. Specifics: A detailed list of medications had been submitted before my visit but apparently was not looked at in advance or was not discussed in any depth before a biopsy procedure was to be conducted. The doctor asked if I was on a blood thinner and I said I was. After the doctor left the room, my wife asked what blood thinner I take and I said Eliquis. The nurse apparently told the doctor which drug because when he came in, he said he hadn’t heard the answer to the blood thinner question and couldn’t do the procedure since he didn’t know i was on that particular medication. The doctor didn’t know because he hadn’t asked any follow up questions and had not looked at the medication list. This seems like an oversight. The doctor did apply an alternative treatment, and that

Overall Forefront is great. The nurses were very helpful and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Kakar is very friendly and I feel I had a good exam but he is very fast. Write down a list of everything you want him to look at before you get there. And have him slow down if you have additional questions. I will continue going here.

Terrible doctor with terrible bedside manners. Misdiagnosed my rash, I called back to ask for a different medication, he was rude and dismissive. I got a second opinion and a biopsy and sure enough, he was wrong. I wouldn’t recommend this doctor. He was very arrogant and proved he was a big waste of my time and money.

Professional and respectful! From staff to Dr. KAKAR, the entire visit was easy, effective and patient conscious. In on time, out on time with follow up visit scheduled within expectations. I especially liked Dr. Kakar's simple to understand explanations of treatments. Would definitely recommend!
