Just moved to the area from San Francisco and I'm really picky about my pedicures. This place was…read morequiet and comfortable. No extraneous annoying sounds and I smelled NO chemicals. None. Seriously. I know that's hard to believe. Communication with the staff was easy- i liked that, too. Always a plus when someone is massaging your feet or using sharp tools on your hangnails. Good makeup tips from Debbie, too. I think they've been in business for a couple decades here, so that's prob why it seems like they really know what they're doing. Also, the always important question of sanitation: it's clearly sanitary here. I had no questions. Saw her disinfect the tub before my feet went in, tools came out of a sterilizer box, and liquid sterilizer with tools soaking was in view. Oh, and my favorite part of a pedi: the massage. Top notch. I've found my pedi place in Central Mass, woohoo! Going back for a facial soon too.

Availability is a big issue. Dr Kates only works Tuesdays, Thursdays and every other Friday, with…read moreno other specialists in the office to cover. This means when biopsy results are in, it may be several days that go by between the time they are available and Dr Kates contacts the patient with the results. His assistants are not able to communicate the results, nor are phone calls or portal messages returned in a timely manner to let patients know this. If you have ever had a biopsy, each day that passes can create increasing angst. When I brought this up to Dr Kates, his tone was one of frustration that he is only one person and can only work so many hours. Although I am sympathetic to healthcare professionals who are overworked, I felt he was upset with me for bringing it up. Limited availability also means after a surgery, if there is an issue which may not be an emergency, but a concern you just want to inquire about, there is no one other than Dr Kates who can comment or assist. Dr Kates only does surgeries on Tuesdays, with a follow up call on Wednesday. If there is an issue after that, and he is not working, you will not get any type of timely response from him or his office. The office is closed from noon to 1 every day, with no option for voicemail. One time I called around 4:25 and the office was already closed for the day. At that point I reached out to Mom's GP, who looked at the photo of her wound and felt Mom needed antiobiotics right away. Had Dr Kates or his office returned my call or looked at the photos I posted on the portal the day before, Mom could have gotten these 24 hours earlier to begin her healing. She is 89, so infections could have serious consequences if not addressed in a timely manner. A week after Mom's surgery, Dr Kates called to check on her. He told me I had his cell in the discharge instructions. I mistook the phone number for the office one. It would have been nice if his office reminded me of that when I called 2 days after her surgery concerned she was developing an infection. I'll take responsibility for missing his cell on the discharge, but having someone in the office offer this up at the start of my post surgery reach out would likely have saved some angst. Dr Kates and his assistant don't have a warm bedside manner and don't express empathy towards elderly patients. He does routine surgeries frequently, yet, no instructions on aftercare are sent prior to the procedure. Which means an unscheduled stop to the pharmacy after to get hydrogen peroxide, gauze and other wound care not provided by his office. Also, for someone in assisted living where the nurses don't provide wound care, knowing instructions ahead of time would allow for a visiting nurse to be lined up for the daily care required, rather than rushing around trying to find resources after the surgery. When Dr Kates arrived in the room just prior to the procedure, he didn't greet or even make eye contact with me or mom. It was very uncomfortable and I felt a lack of empathy and interpersonal skills. His assistant suggested if return transportation was a problem for the 2 week follow up, I could simply remove the stitches myself. Of course that is not something I am going to do on my elderly Mom and it also suggested the doc didn't feel any need to check out his work and make sure Mom was healing as intended. I was not allowed to stay in the room during Mom's procedure. When then brought her back out to the waiting area, Mom's sleeve and side of her shirt were ruined due to the amount of blood which resulted from the procedure. I don't know why he just didn't have her put on a hospital gown, maybe he didn't realize the amount of blood which resulted, but that is also concerning for someone performing surgeries as long as he has. It's an emotional time when you go to a dermatologist with a worrying growth. My perceived lack of compassion and human detachment from this office has led to several recent poor experiences. As a result, we have switched dermatologists.

He treats me like family so I never need to worry about any procedures he does as I know it will be as perfect as possible. He won't do anything you ask for that he thinks you don't need, so I feel confident in his care. Over the years he has treated me for allergic rashes, skin spots that were suspicious and given me botox and fillers as needed. He diagnosed and fixed skin things that other doctors didn't know what was going on with me. I'm 74 years old and I hope to be with Dr. Kates until he retires and so people will continue to guess my age as much younger. That feels wonderful!! Btw, I travel out of state to see him and he's worth every extra mile..........a grateful client, Donna

Sent me a rudely worded letter informing me of the charge and on the letter they stated they called me twice. I was talking to my husband and he figured it out that they called his cell but his phone flagged as potential spam so he never listened to the message. I called and they wouldn't wave the fee. Just said they have a service that makes the calls and they don't know what to say. Clearly it's a silly mix up and there were mistakes on both sides so I would expect some understanding. But nope so I won't be back.

More like leather So needless to say a LOT of damage was done. Neverending it seems. With the accumulation as it is I should be seeing a Dermatologist yearly. So that sounds good ... But " Chicken -Me" is an entirely different story! Nervous with raging anxiety, as soon as I got out of my parked car my knees started buckling... Thinking what will they find this time? Entering it's very clear that they are following all mandates during the pandemic. I shared the sparse waiting area with only one other person. . chairs are at opposite sides of the room. I felt completely safe. My actual wait time was at best 10 minutes. I was called in by a friendly assistant and taken to the exam room. Within no more than 5 minutes my exam began. I saw Nelya Christiansen PA-C . She is an absolute delight. She introduced herself and went over any concerns I had. Obviously she could see all the flaws, etc but was completely non- judgemental and took the time to listen to me. There wasnt any condescending attitude from her and I felt like I was in great hands - completely comfortable I won't go into the diagnosis or treatment. But what she did today was painless... Let me state that again - PAINLESS and basically done so quickly, I didn't really have much time to think about it .. Over in no time. How cool is that! Leaving, she again reiterated what was discussed and treatment and gave me the decision on when to return - which I prefer. I will definitely refer people to her! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!
