South County Dermatology is simply the BEST !!…read more The front office team was especially helpful and attentive. They listened carefully to my concerns, promptly addressed my appointment questions, and quickly referred an issue to the doctor for review. Their responsiveness and professionalism made the entire process smooth and reassuring. Dr. Dyer was outstanding--knowledgeable, caring, and thorough. What impressed me most was that he personally called me to discuss my test results and address my concerns. He took the time to answer all of my questions and explain everything clearly. That level of attention and commitment to patient care is rare and greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Dr. Dyer and his team to anyone looking for exceptional dermatologic care.

She addresses all of my concerns respectfully and in a timely manner, and I never feel rushed during appointments. What I especially appreciate is that she takes the time to educate me about why she is recommending certain treatments or procedures, which makes the experience feel very collaborative. Her professionalism, clinical knowledge, and attention to detail are beyond reproach. I have always felt listened to, respected, and confident in the care I receive from her.

I was referred to this practice by my GP who had a particular physician in mind but knew they would…read morehave a full schedule and to not expect an appointment with that physician. The first open appointment was with a PA which I was given. The office is accessed from the back of the building on the lower level. There is plenty of parking in this area. Once in the back door, the office is straight ahead. The staff all seem very busy. The were pleasant enough but also not chatty. Slide open the window, take my information, told to wait. Window closes. Pretty standard. I was the only one in the waiting area so I wandered around a looked at some of the information they had available on skin care treatments offered. Almost spa-like services. The reception/waiting area is very bare bones with no windows and hard seats. It took several minutes to be called back where I was placed in an exam room. The tech who brought me to the exam room verified why I was being seen. I expressed my concerns. She seemed very pleasant and left. I waited in that room quite a while. I could hear someone coming and going in the hall so one provider must have been going from room to room. When it was my turn the PA arrived with the tech. He greeted me, verified why I was there and then began speaking to the tech like I wasn't in the room. He sat on a stool, took out a magnifying glass and started looking over my face. Not at something I was there for, just all over my face. While doing this he is rattling off technical words to the tech who was writing everything down as he said it. Apparently he believes I have rosacea. For which he did not offer to treat me. Weird. If you catch that early it's treatable. He wasn't even sure at first it is rosacea and after dictating to the tech for a while changed his diagnosis to 'just make down rosacea' but then no treatment plan was offered. Once done with that he stood up asked what skin care I used and offered a cream for a secondary issue I was there for. My primary issue is a concern for skin cancer. He completely ignored that. I pointed it out. He ignored it again. I pointed it out again. He side stepped. I insisted he address it and he described how 'sometimes' a condition will occur and then described to me a pre-cancerous condition that is exactly what I had described to him at the beginning. He didn't tell me he didn't think it was an issue or he thinks it's something else or address the spot on my face in any way at all. He just kept avoiding the discussion until I forced the issue. I felt so uncomfortable with the experience after a few days I called the office and spoke to someone about my concerns. They assured me the treatment was the usual method and they would speak to the PA and get back to me. They never called me back, but the PA called and left me a voice message saying if I didn't understand the treatment to call him back. I do understand the treatment. I just want to know what is being done to improve this practitioners ability to treat patients. To respect their concerns. To communicate better. He treated me like a bug under a microscope then tried to walk out of the room as soon as his examination was complete. He was literally backing toward the door as he tried to end the appointment before I had gotten answers. I never received a call back from the person I spoke with and at this point I have lost all confidence in this group. On top of that, my insurance denied the claim. Great.

I have a long history of skin cancer, and saw Dr. Brooks Kimmis earlier this year for a semi-annual…read morewhole-body skin check. He was quietly professional, and appeared to provide a thorough examination. He biopsied one area, which was later confirmed as a squamous cell. I am also regularly seen at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. My Nurse Practitioner there saw me only 60 days after my examination by Dr. Kimmis. She biopsied 3 additional and separate areas, all of which were confirmed as skin cancer - - 1 basal cell and 2 more squamous cell. Upon calling Dr. Kimmis to report this development and express my surprise and disappointment that he had not identified these additional cancers, his sole response was: "Thanks for telling me."

I went to Brown Dermatology after a different local dermatologist told me what I had been observing…read morefor a year (at that time) was 'nothing' and sent me on my way. I had waited a year to see that other doctor. As the condition persisted, I took a chance with Brown Dermatology and met with one of their nurse practitioners. My first appointment, which was several months out, was cancelled due to the provider being ill. It was rescheduled for later in the week. For that appointment I had been out for other appointments and was fifteen minutes away for an appointment in ten minutes. When I called them to say I would be late by five minutes they told me if I wasn't there in ten minutes I would be marked as a missed appointment and not seen. Odd, but OK, if that's policy, I just made another appointment. Well, that one was also cancelled because the provider was sick. OMG. A new appointment was booked for later that week and finally, on my fourth try, everything went smoothly. Life happens. Luckily I'm flexible. I was very worried about my appointment because of the previous doctor I had seen. At this point it's been over two years that I have been observing a scaly patch on my nose as well as some other 'new' to me points. The nurse practitioner was very patient listening to my observations and asked questions. She diagnosed two different things going on. The scaly patch is a pre-cancerous condition that she was able to freeze off at that visit so it's no longer a concern. Yay. For the other thing she prescribed a skin cream and gave me samples of face wash and sun screen. After just three days of treatment my skin is already looking more like my normal skin and I really like these samples she gave me. There is a sign at reception saying they are using new software so there may be some delays. They also use an online patient portal (as most doctors do these days) where you can send message and get test results. Their office is on the top floor of the building. The parking lot is large with several handicapped spots by the door. Doors are either automatic or have the wheelchair open mechanism. An elevator is across from the entrance.

I want to update my review of my experience with Brown Dermatology now that I have answers…read more I was seen (and gaslit) at the Warwick, Providence and South Kingstown location while trying to address a butterfly rash that developed any time I go outside and my right arm turning blue. My butterfly rash was brushed off by multiple specialists as a sun allergy despite having a known autoimmune condition and histamine intolerance. They gave me allergy meds and sent me on my way. As for my blue arm, they initially did a biopsy in Warwick that showed that it couldn't possibly be tattoo ink cause it went deeper than a tattoo would go. Despite this and even being sent to rounds at the Providence location over the course of countless visits, they told me to "cover it up with a tattoo" if it bothers me. That's when they brought up how much it'll cost. When I stood up for myself, they sent me on my way. Instead of referring me to a different specialist for investigation or admitting they don't know what's wrong, they brushed me off. I'm so glad I didn't listen to them and continued to advocate for myself! About a month ago, a different doctor who listened to me discovered that my arm is blue due to a condition called Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)!!! It took this new doctor one visit and one test vs 2 years! Unfortunately, thanks to Brown Dermatology, my ability to get treatment and answers was drastically delayed... The kicker is that I asked the doctors at Brown Dermatology and they insisted that it's tattoo ink despite their own labs showing otherwise... TOS is something that needs treatment due to the risk of clots and can't just be "covered up with a tattoo" like the doctors at Brown Dermatology suggested... After this experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend Brown Dermatology.

No one closely looked at my face or scars when I came in for the consult. One person looked at my face without any type of magnifier, just across the desk from where i shelled out 2,400 bucks because I was told the treatment works for scars. I will post my complaint nand pictures to as many media outlets possible to save others from the same predicament and to tell how SkinMD remedies this if at all. I'm sure the Neogen Plasma works, but no one should be sold something that has no value to them. Finally, The procedure was painful. The gel used supposedly has anesthetic/ numbing properties, yet it was less than 10 seconds between applying it and hitting my skin with the treatment wand. Maybe because it was Friday at 5pm and the technician was in a hurry to get done for the week that the few seconds to let me numb up a bit were not spared? My eyelashes got singed along with some of my hairline, red raw skin spots resulted and remained raw for 4 weeks after treatment.. Evidently these areas were done "extra" ; around my scars and in random areas that seem more like errors in the procedure than purposeful. The raw skin I don't think healed better with the 100 dollar plus after treatment cream they insisted worked wonders. I hope to get a refund at the least. I will post what happens at my follow up.... .

(The painkillers and tranquilizers also helped a lot :). It's been about 5 weeks and I had a follow-up visit the other day; all is healing well. The only think I think could have improved my experience is better information and details about the healing process and after-care. I wasn't aware that it can take up to 6 months for full healing, which I learned on my own through research at at y follow-up visit. I've also learned more on my own about the vital importance of the compression garment. They mentioned it briefly, but more in-depth details would have been good. I would also have liked a compression garment that fitted me better; I had to alter the one they provided because the shoulder straps were too short and not adjustable. I've purchased another garment to use, and also plan to get a lymphatic massage to aid in scar tissue smoothing and fluid removal. I suggest that SkinMD provide a brochure with detailed after-care information and healing time, and links to reputable websites and videos about healing and self-care. But overall I'm happy with my results - no regrets! - the price was reasonable and everyone has been professional and friendly. Thank you -
