Late last year, I went to Dr. Abate to remove a small angioma in my face. She suggested to remove…read morethe angioma by laser and also to remove a few dark spots in the face. I agreed, stressing, though, that my first priority was the removal of the angioma. She noted a growth between my upper lip and my nose. She thought that it might be skin cancer. She shaved it and sent the sample to a pathology lab for analysis. I paid $250.00 and left. A few days later I realized that the angioma was still there. After a couple of weeks, the pathology report determined that cancer cells were not detected in the sample and that the growth was probably a wart, even though at the time no HPV viral particles were detected. The shaving has left a noticeable scar in my face. Earlier this week, and about four months after I saw Dr. Abate, her nurse told me to see Dr. Abate to check the surgery. I said that I was not going to see again a dermatologist who cannot remove a small angioma and cannot differentiate between basal cell carcinoma and a wart. A wart that can be treated by freezing, leaving no very visible scar. Apparently Dr. Abate was offended by my remark. I realize that I was abrupt and not very diplomatic, but what I said is true: I still have the angioma, there was not cancer, and I am left with an avoidable scar in the middle of my face.

She was also pushing birth control but I said no to that. I was on spironolactone for about 2 years and it destroyed my memory. I was NOT informed about long term side effects and when I asked she basically changed the subject. I was already getting terrible migraines and after this appointment I decided to weaned myself off. I've been off spironolactone for one year now and I am still suffering from migraines and my memory has Never been the same. I don't recommend! It is NOT worth loosing your memory for.

She is very honest and told me up front finger tattoos can be VERY stubborn. With her precise work and the Picosure laser I've had very good results.

I haven't been here in a little while due to my budget, but as soon as I am able I will be returning to finish the removal. The office is very clean and they are always sanitary pre and post treatment. Highly recommend for tattoo removal!

It got so bad that I didn't even feel comfortable leaving my house. I have probably been to every establishment that offers these types of services in the Chicago suburbs. I didn't realize it was such a cut throat industry! I feel like I have been hustled to the extreme! I wish it didn't take me as long as it did to find this establishment. They prioritize results over sales. From the beginning, Rebecca was transparent and felt that it was very important that I understood everything that we were doing, and, why.

However, when the PA came in, she told me that I needed to take a picture. Once again I told her I was not comfortable taking my picture of her chart. So she said she will let the Dr know. About 35 minutes passed, and no one came back into the room. I eventually went into the hallway and found the PA, who said she would check on where Dr. Agha was. However, the PA returned alone and told me once again that I had to take a picture for my chart or the doctor would not see me. I also was wondering whether the purpose of the visit was simply to bill my insurance, especially since Dr. Agha never actually came in to see me. If this was a requirement for having an appointment, they should have clarified this in the beginning of the appointment instead of making me wait for an hour. Overall, I was very disappointed with the experience

She thoroughly explained the procedure, answered all of my questions, discussed after care, provided some gauze and petroleum jelly for the road, and provided a sheet of aftercare instructions showing what to expect in the coming days. So far, everything is healing as expected. I will continue to seek treatment here and would recommend Mary Kate without hesitation.
