I saw a dermatologist in April 2021 who took two punch biopsies and prescribed the betamethasone and desonide ointments. The only caution he gave was that they could thin the skin.
And he provided a 12-month refill supply for the ointments. His manner was terse, quick, reluctant. He came across as arrogant, conceited, not very into dermatology but more into power within his practice. All the staff in the office were young, attractive women, too.
I will be seeing a new dermatologist next week. This doctor is new to the area (as I am, too, having moved here a year ago). Part of her training was at Oregon Health Sciences University where I had gone for consultations relating to Crohn's Disease before starting Humira in 2007. At least, I feel confident in OHSU as the best Oregon offered for medical care. And it gives me hope that this doctor will be more approachable and may take the time to explain options and help me understand.
Psoriasis Club has helped me more than the dermatologist I saw in April. It has given me hope that these daily miseries of the skin will ease.
Do you have advice for this upcoming visit?
Have you ever encountered a doctor who really should never have become a doctor?
Have you had exceptional care from your dermatologist? What does exceptional care look like?
What is the best of the best or the worst of the worst?
Thank you.
