    As stated in my previous review, I began seeing a doctor at Center for Derm for mole checks…read morefollowing an earlier diagnosis of malignant melanoma. I felt the doctor was thorough and took my concerns seriously; he would remove any questionable mole (his concern or mine) and always documented moles with digital photos and measurements. All seemed fine and dandy, but the honeymoon period only lasted a year and a half. The Cliff Notes version of my review is this: Doc gets huffy with my insurance company, and instead of sending them the latest 3 pieces of paper from my chart, tries to stick me with a $2,100 bill that would otherwise be paid in full by my insurance company. THEN, I'm stuck with a $57 tab and the inconvenience of having to remedy HIS problem on my own. My last mole check appointment was in June, and all was well until I got a bill in August for $2,100. I figured that the claim was filed late, or my insurance company hadn't processed it yet, so I didn't panic. Shortly thereafter I received a CC copy of a letter my insurance company sent to the doctor/Center for Dermatology requesting my medical records so that they could evaluate the claim and remit payment. Apparently this was their second request. Between conversations with my insurance company and the Center for Derm. staff, I was informed that the doctor has been in litigation with my (major) insurance company, and therefore has refused to comply with any requests from them, including sending records so that claims could be finalized. Well, I have perfectly good insurance, and I DON'T have $2,100 laying around to appease a business and doctor who has decided to be stubborn (or prove a point, or whatever) with my insurance company. Meanwhile, I began getting letters from Center for Dermatology threatening to send my bill to collections. I got on the phone with my insurance company and asked what I needed to do about the situation. They advised me NOT to remit payment (that imaginary $2,100 I have laying around), and to get ahold of my medical records myself. Because regardless of whatever issues said doctor was having, they're going to process my claim. I must say that even through this situation, the STAFF at Center for Dermatology was professional and pleasant with me, even when there were some miscommunications. My issue with this whole thing - aside from the time taken out of several days to do a job that Center for Derm. should have done for me (send the requested records) - is that I had to PAY for my OWN records in order to save myself the $2,100 that would have been paid out anyway. This would have been avoided had Center for Dermatology TOLD ME at my June appointment that the doctor is refusing to work with my insurance company... he is in my network, and it's not like I'm a new patient; my information is on file and was verified of its accuracy when I came in for my appointment. Had that been the case, I simply would not have had any procedure done. (*Note: On 2/3/11, my insurance company informed me that Center for Dermatology was no longer part of my insurance network on May 16th, 2010.) A word to the wise: if you visit Center for Dermatology, ask if the doctor is in litigation with your insurance company... OR if you have Blue Cross/Blue Shield, just save yourself the time and energy altogether and find a more professional dermatologist.

    BIG IMPORTANT UPDATE: Even though their website lists that they accept Blue Cross/Blue Shield…read moreinsurance and even though I called to confirm they accepted Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance AND even though I ASKED IN PERSON ON THE DAY OF MY APPOINTMENT if they accepted Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance....they DON'T TAKE Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance. And guess who gets stuck with the bill? Not the doctors office full of liars- me! I was really not impressed with my experience at Center for Dermatology & Skin Cancer Ltd. I only had one experience, but I don't really think I will be returning for a second. Long story short, I have been having random medical issues (ie: blowing up in unexplainable hives) that no one can seem to pinpoint. After seeing an allergist and a rhuematologist, I was sent to a dermatologist. I went here because it's near my house. My first impressions upon entering was that it was more of a cosmetic dermatology office rather than a medical dermatology office. Oh well, I figured, I'm here, I'll give it a shot. So I waited. And I waited. And waited. And my 4 O'Clock appt. turned in to a 5 O'Clock appt. I go in to the office with a personality-less nurse (she honestly could not have been a nurse...she must have been a CNA or something) and I asked her not to use latex gloves because, as part of the massive testing that is occurring on my body, there is reason to suspect I have a latex allergy. She told me she just "wouldn't touch me and I'd be fine." Really? REALLY!!!!!!??? What if I had been allergic to latex? I mean, now, the blood tests are in and it's clear that I'm not....but what the HELL would she have done IF I WAS? Anyway, the dermatologist came in, didn't even look at my hands/feet (where the immediate issue was occurring) and said I had eczema. Oh really? I would love to know what you used to make that medical diagnosis. He gave me a pamphlet and prescription and left. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I saw him for less than 2 minutes. Honestly, the experience left a sour taste in my mouth, but I didn't think much of it until I followed up a few days later with the allergist. She started asking me all these questions about my supposed eczema diagnosis that I was unable to answer. She pointed out all the things that should have been explained to me. She asked what type of eczema it was (I don't know). She asked why he didn't do a skin biopsy on my "atypical" hives (I don't know). She explained that there is a significant difference between allergy hives, eczema hives, and what I have (Oh.). All I had to show her was a freaking pamphlet. Proving the allergists point, the eczema medication he prescribed me is NOT working and I'm having an allergic reaction to it (allergies = not his fault; blame it on my genetics), but I'm just really hesitant to go back. I think I'm just going to make an appointment somewhere else.
