After 10 years as a patient, I recently had a very disappointing experience with Advanced…read moreDermatology & Cosmetic Surgery (Capital Dermatology). I had recently switched insurance and was unaware that I now needed a referral. I live about 45 minutes away and made the drive to my appointment, only to be told upon arrival that I could not be seen without one. While I understand that insurance requirements are ultimately the patient's responsibility, the situation was frustrating--especially given how far I had traveled. I calmly suggested that, as a best practice, the office consider reminding patients about referral requirements in advance, particularly when that information is available at the front desk. When I asked to speak with someone about this, the office manager, Mary Mee, came out to speak with me. Unfortunately, the interaction escalated quickly. Her tone and body language felt dismissive and abrasive from the start. Rather than acknowledging my frustration, she repeatedly interrupted me and spoke over me. When I tried to respond, she raised her voice and then told me to calm down, which only added to the tension. At no point did I feel heard or that any effort was made to address my concern constructively. To be clear, I was not initially looking to file a complaint--I simply wanted to offer feedback that might help prevent similar situations for other patients. Instead, I left feeling more frustrated than when I arrived. It's disappointing that after a decade as a patient, this interaction led me to take my care elsewhere.

From the moment you walk in, Sara greets you with the biggest smile. Brooke is just as genuine and helpful! The ladies at the front are helpful, kind and prompt. I feel special coming into the office, which is saying something because my skin scares me! Erin Brimhall is truly one of a kind. She doesn't not take my worries and brush them off. She biopsies the spots I don't like as well as which ones she doesn't like. She tracks concerning ones and monitors them which gives me peace. She has removed atypical spots and found in situ melanoma. I have continued seeing her every three months for skin checks and it allows me some comfort in knowing she is doing to the hard part while I protect my skin. Dr. Harrington has done two excisions for me. One, Mohs surgery with clean boundaries and only one pass through for removal. He completed an excision today for an atypical mole that we didn't want to keep around. I cannot speak more highly of his bedside manner and care in completing the excision for me. Naomi was so great helping him, making me feel comfortable and distracting me while I talked the ENTIRE TIME! My skin is better protected bc of this team at Well Ave. Thank you all so much for the care and kindness you give me!

Their conversations are often loud enough for the waiting room to hear and frequently involve complaints or arguments. It's disappointing because it creates an unprofessional impression and takes away from an otherwise positive patient experience. This isn't a one off, this has happened consistently to the point where I am considering a new provider. If you're anger and don't like people, don't work in a public facing role. Full stop...you are damaging the business.
