Dates of visit: August 7 + August 14, 2025…read more It never fails that a visit to the dermatologist is always something you schedule months in advance, which is always so odd to me considering that all of my derm appointments tend to be less 30 minutes or less. What is everyone else doing that takes so long!? At any rate, I really appreciated that I could use their text service to make an appointment; I spend a lot of my time in meetings and calls so finding uninterrupted time to make these kinds of requests can be tricky sometimes. Making matters worse was that I was traveling while trying to get an appointment for a spot on my face, making this service wonderful for me. Within seconds I was told that I had a cyst and we not only talked through options for removal, it was done then and there! I had to go back in a week to take out the sutures and that appointment actually took longer than the removal. I also got a call in-between appointments advising the status of the cyst, too, which I appreciated. Really the only issue I had was the intense bruising that occurred on my face that I wasn't warned about--it was so bad I was telling people that I may or may not be in a secret fight club! The nurse at the suture removal appointment seemed surprised by the bruising but didn't speak to it and it wasn't on the post-care sheet I received, either.

Great office, love the dermatologists and staff. Have been going here for ~20 years, my kids and…read morehusband go here and we've never had anything but positive experiences.

I had made an appt with dr schaeffer based on her reviews that spoke highly of her knowledge and…read moreexpertise. When it came time for my appt, all went swimmingly. The check-in process was swift and painless and even waiting to be roomed was a quick turnaround. I was led back by a medical assistant (or nurse?), of the position I am unsure as no one was wearing a badge. Yes they introduced themselves, but I have no idea how to refer to them. She asked me the questions and handed me a gown to change into, straightforward and fine. Now, as a healthcare worker myself, I knew what a full body skin check all entailed but when it came time to meet Dr Schaeffer I was a little taken aback. She introduced herself rapidly and just got right to it. It was while she was still introducing herself that she started touching me right away for her exam. No warning, no eye contact, just hands deep in my hair while still just meeting me for the first time. I shared my concerns all the while she moved to different parts of my body for her check but not really explaining the areas she was checking. Now in my experience, when it comes to a vulnerable exam, there is a little bit more tenderness and patience that is required to make the patient not feel violated or rushed. This was anything but that. Now, while I commend her in her speed, it was palpable that she wasn't really there for her patient. There was no small talk or genuine concern for the backstories of the patient (and honestly it was kind of distracting that she was hands on assessing me while having me explain the history). I will also commend her technique as I did have a skin sample taken at that appointment and did not feel a thing, not even the burning of the lidocaine injection. After she was done collecting her sample, I got a "keep it covered with vaseline, results in 2 weeks. Okay, you are good to go" and before I could even think about follow-up questions, she and her assistant were out the door. I was left sitting on the exam table and they hadn't even closed the door all the way (and mind you I was still in a gown and needed to change). By the time I had changed and thought of questions, like how long do I keep it covered? Can I shower? Pools? There was no one to be found. So like a lost puppy I found my way to the waiting room lobby and left the office. Needless to say, the experience was a unique one and if a "wam bam thank you maam" is your kind of style then she is a great fit. I am not saying that I want someone to pour my life onto for 45 minutes but a little common courtesy and bedside manner goes a long way, especially when assessing the more private areas of a person.
