Do not go if your unsure if your going to get the specific medication you want. Worst dermatologist and treated me with rudeness. Don't know how he even is still able to be a derm.

Would give zero stars if I could. Went in for a follow up for a staph infection (which was diagnosed not only through a lab test that was sent out by an urgent care clinic but also by another doctor at Advanced Dermatology)which I had been dealing with for over 2 months and was not clearing up. He walked in and I started to give him the background info. He was dismissive and told me to just tell him as he looked. He made it very obvious he was in a rush before we even started. He told me what he thought was wrong, a condition that was initially diagnosed (and unsuccessfully treated) but ruled out over a month ago later by 2 other doctors (see above). Any attempt I made to explain was dismissed. I told him about the lab test and he told me that basically urgent care doesn't know what they're doing because they're not specialists. (I guess that must extend to medical labs as well). He told me that if I had what I said I had it should have cleared up already. (What did I just get done saying ?!) My skin issues began after I had covid 3 months ago and I TRIED to tell him about the medications I was on, one of which suppresses the immune system, but he was dismissive of that as well. He kept telling me it was my fault for not maintaining procedures for the condition I did not have. Some of the staph sores, which are very distinct looking, had spread to my face regardless of how meticulous I had been to contain it. He told me that it was acne from my face mask. (After 2 years of wearing a mask I have not had that issue and I'm 56 years old, I know what a zit looks like.) He rattled out the names of some prescriptions that he was giving me and left the room. I asked the assistant what they were, as he couldn't even be bothered to explain. He prescribed an acne medication and a cream for the condition I did not have. I told the assistant (who was the more helpful and pleasant of the two) that that I had a problem with this. She brought him back into the room and he assumed the "let's patronize the difficult patient" attitude. He asked me what it was that I wanted him to do for me. I told him and of course, I was wrong again. He said to me, who told you that that was what the problem was? I told him it was his colleague. He looked startled and looked at the computer. HE NEVER EVEN BOTHERED TO LOOK UP MY HISTORY with Advanced Dermatology! (Or the lab results that the urgent care clinic sent over) At that point I was furious and gave up and told him to just prescribe more of what the first doctor prescribed. As I can see from other reviews, this was not an isolated incident. Never again.
