A couple of months after my visit to the West Bend office, I received a letter in the mail from…read moreBend Dermatology saying that I was delinquent on my balance and that they made multiple attempts to collect but failed. This is completely untrue since I never received a phone call or voicemail message or letter in the mail. The ONLY communication from them regarding this was the letter saying I've been referred to their collection agency. Bend Dermatology charged me a $3.70 collection fee and I had to pay the collection agency $2.50 to pay the balance (which was $23.18) via credit card (checks are free) so I paid $6.20 more than the balance due to these shenanigans. Save yourself the inconvenience and incompetence of this business and look elsewhere. I should have looked at Yelp before making an appointment with Bend Dermatology as the low ratings (that are well earned) would have caused me to go somewhere else. BTW, my PCP referred me to Bend Dermatology so the next time I see her, I'll let her know that this is a disservice to her patients.

It's taken me nearly five months to sit down and write this review because I wanted to come from a…read moreplace of clarity--not raw anger. I needed to focus on my daughter first, but I also feel a responsibility to share our experience for others who may be seeking care. I am a Bend native, and Bend Dermatology has always been the go-to in town. When my child was diagnosed with alopecia areata, we were referred there by another doctor. Unfortunately, our experience with the physician who specializes in alopecia areata was one of the most disappointing and upsetting medical experiences I've ever had. From the very first appointment, this doctor showed no bedside manner, no sensitivity, and no grace. My daughter and I left multiple visits in tears--feeling unheard, unseen, pushed, and disrespected. At one point, very private information about my daughter's diagnosis was spoken loudly from across the hall, leaving her embarrassed and humiliated. The language used was blunt, cold, and unnecessarily harsh for a vulnerable preteen. The doctor suggested procedures like scalp biopsies requiring stitches, explained in such a clinical and frightening way that my daughter felt terrified. When we asked about other options, she called in her superior--who confirmed that those procedures weren't even necessary and that alternatives existed. This contradiction only added more stress and confusion. What concerned me most was their push for my daughter to start a medication that wasn't FDA-approved for her age. She was 11 at the time, and the drug is only approved for 12+. The suggestion to start her on it early felt careless and dismissive of the very risks they themselves had emphasized regarding insurance approval, bloodwork, and safety protocols. Neither of us felt comfortable moving forward, and I was disturbed by the pressure to do so. To make sure it wasn't just me, my sister--who has decades of professional experience attending doctor's appointments with clients--came with us to one of the visits. She told me it was one of the worst appointments she'd ever witnessed. That, to me, speaks volumes. I will not name the doctor, but Bend Dermatology will know who I am referring to. What I will say is this: if you or your loved one is dealing with something as personal and vulnerable as alopecia areata, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere. Thankfully, we found a new dermatology office above the Old Mill that has been a complete breath of fresh air. They welcomed my daughter with compassion, validation, and professionalism, creating an environment where she felt safe and supported. The difference was night and day. Good riddance to Bend Dermatology. I would not recommend them for alopecia areata--or any condition that requires sensitivity, empathy, and respect.

They seem not to care about their patients at all anymore. They don't return calls and the front desk and medical assistance blamed it on being short staffed. The medical assistance made me feel like it's my fault they are not doing their job. The office staff need to be retrained on customer service. Heidi Holmes was wonderful to me while I was there, but the disorganization, no call backs, no prescription being given to my daughter correctly and after months her face a complete breakout mess I am switching clinics. Sorry Heidi but my daughters face is a mess, and I have been calling you for days with no call back on what's happening with her treatment plan and then to be treated like crap by your staff is unacceptable to me. Thanks for the many year's you guys were a great Dermatology to go too. I am sorry I am leaving your clinic, and I hope one day you can get your clinic back to where it once was. Michalyn Morris
