[ATTN: Biltmore Derm--I'm not paying another cent. I'm filing a complaint with the Indiana AG…read moreConsumer Protection Division over your deceptive practices and violations. STOP SENDING BILLS]   My dealings with this "Truck Stop Derm" has been a complete nightmare. I specifically requested an appointment with a dermatologist, but no one corrected me--I was seen by an NP for less than 5 minutes with no disclosure of any supervising physician, despite Indiana law requiring collaborative agreements and transparency.    I was cash-pay and asked for an estimate upfront--denied. The bizarre "insurance fee + treatment cost" model was never explained, leading to gross overcharging: $207.34 for an ineffective intralesional steroid injection that did NOTHING.   Most alarmingly, after the NP's brief exam, she left, and an unnamed person that was in street clothes performed the entire injection alone--no supervision, no introduction, no consent. Apparently this was a medical assistant? They have people treating patients alone that have only obtained a certificate. This violates Indiana scope-of-practice and informed-consent rules for invasive procedures. I'm not surprised the treatment failed completely.   Compare this to a board-certified NYC dermatologist charging $150 for the same shot done personally, this NP-led clinic in Vincennes is outrageously priced, unprofessional, and unethical. Zero accountability.     I emailed and sent a certified detailed complaint--NO RESPONSE. Yet they keep sending bills, doubling with interest! Avoid this place--save your time, money, and dignity.

I would strongly urge checking other places. After a negative experience at the DCSI MediSpa years ago, I thought I would try them again after having had good experiences somewhere else but kind of far away. I regret having tried the MediSpa again. One treatment I had was all right. The other treatment I had went badly and the aesthetician took no responsibility for it at all and made a lot of illogical statements that made me question her judgment/understanding of what she's doing. I'll return to my old place and have learned my lesson to steer clear of the DCSI MediSpa.

READ BEFORE USING THIS "BUSINESS" I would literally NEVER…read morerecommend this "business" to ANYONE. PHOTOS INCLUDED I walked in today, was given forms after being asked about insurance, rushed into a room with no time to fill out the paperwork. I was asked if I had insurance multiple times. Doctor came in and didn't acknowledge us (gf was with me) and told me to sign the paperwork even though he knew i hadn't read it yet. He immediately complained to me that this paperwork shouldve been done already. I had only had this paperwork for 10 minutes while simultaneously having to answer many questions from the nurse. I honesty felt like he made a lot of "sideways" remarks. I felt rushed throughout the whole process. Not talking in a way that resembled a medical professional doing. He asked me about my axillary. When i was obviously confused, he repeated axillary again. When i was still obviously confused, he rudely replied armpit. My gf was in the room, after my appointment she admitted to me that after her years of medical classes, literally having to memorize the whole body multiple times, she was still confused by him acting this way. Why would an experienced medical proffesional talk to a patient this way? "I dont know about your insurance, but you obviously have some things going on." He said this after he already knew i didnt have insurance. My girlfriend's main concern comes in with the medical paperwork. When we left we were given only one paper. It was the receipt for the "service" the business owner who was the doctor "provided." We went home and she said that we needed my medical paperwork and pointed out it was VERY weird that i was provided with no paperwork about my condition especially considering that it was a condition neither of us had heard about nor about the medication that was prescribed. We went back for my medical paperwork and they were kind of weird about it. Repeated several times that they werent sure if they could print it and that he hadnt signed it yet. In return, i kept repeating that i just wanted my information and they eventually let me have it. My gf's top concern is that many things in the paperwork that werent talked about and she only feels relieved we basically demanded to have it because we use many things that the paperwork says makes my condition worse. I cant think of anything else to say at the moment, but if you HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE but to go here, be prepared, stay safe, know your rights and do your own research.

I have been coming to IU Health's Dr. Christiane Machado in Carmel well over a year now since…read moremoving back from Phoenix, AZ. Although I was given subpar treatment (it's extremely hard to find a dermatologist that doesn't have a six month wait. I'm not sure if this is just the Indianapolis area or not), I persisted because I knew acne treatment was a long process that took time. When I arrived today at 3:25 p.m. for a 3:20 p.m. appointment an elderly couple was in front of me and the receptionist was trying to get them taken care of as fast as possible. When I finally had my turn with another receptionist next to her, it was probably 3:30p. Check-in went smoothly. I sat down to wait, and another elderly white woman walks in. At which point, she is also checked in smoothly. She was early for a 4:15 p.m. appointment with Dr. Machado. Less than two minutes later, she is being escorted back. I hear one of the receptionists say to another receptionist that I had been waiting and my appointment had been at 3:20 p.m. Then (of course) whispering ensued, and about 5 minutes later I was called back. The nurse who took me back was frank when I asked "why did the other woman go before me?" I expected her to say something along the lines of "it was urgent," or something of the sort -- something completely understandable. But, no. She said "you were late." I said, "So, someone who had an appointment about 50 minutes after mine was able to be seen because of something out of my control, when there is a ten minute leeway, and I was only five minutes late?" In her frankness, the nurse says "yup." I think they could sense how upset I was, so Dr. Machado magically appeared about five minutes later -- with a different nurse. In the meantime, Dr. Machado ensues in the most hurried and disrespectful appointments I have yet to have with her (and each of the four I have had with her are about the same). I correct her on the pronunciation of my name every time, I have to tell her I'm in a same-sex relationship, so I don't need contraceptive, every time, I have to tell her what face wash I am using every time (what are they scribbling if not these small facts?), and, the worst of all I have to tell her what problem areas I do and do not have EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. This is the last time I will be coming here. Because although it's a long wait for other dermatologists in the area, clearly they are worth every bit of dignity they are probably giving to their patients. Oh, and shout to the receptionist who noticed I was being treated unfairly and tried to speak up. - SHAKKIRA Harris
