Had high hopes for Dr. Wisco and couldn't have been more disappointed. I would not recommend, nor…read morewill I ever go back. The appointment lasted 15 minutes, & he billed my insurance for 45 minutes. He used liquid nitrogen to freeze off one spot on my nose (which is still there) and charged $551.68. What happened to physicians' integrity? I feel bad for folks with serious issues. I can't even imagine what that bill would look like. I was told to arrive 15 minutes early. The office staff came out of a staff meeting after my appointment was to begin & when the receptionists came to their seats, they said nothing. Finally they took my insurance card, which apparently wasn't scanned because the first bill I received my insurance hadn't been billed. The whole experience was cluster. Save yourself the headache and seek treatment elsewhere.

The lady at the front desk was as nice and helpful as anyone I have ever met, she had a great smile and made me feel like I was important. I filled out necessary forms. it wasn't minutes later the Dr assistant was calling me in, she was very knowledgeable about why I was there, that was very nice and she also made me feel important and very relaxed. I usually am very nervous when meeting dr but for some reason I was relaxed. Dr came in shortly and he too had taken the time to know why I was there, he took a look, was very good at explaining the problem and the solution. He also took time to look at my skin, He is a great communicator and Doctor. I would highly recommend this office. they are very caring and the building is a beauty too. sorry this is so wordy, but if you get to come to central Oregon dermatology you are very fortunate.

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.
