  • Doctor is great. However, she spent mi small time discussing next Dx of seborrheic dermatitis. I had to message, via gateway, several questions regarding care and Rxs. Patients should never be left to google Rx instructions. I do like her a lot. She just need to provide detailed information. [redacted]

    2026-06-04

  • It seemed a bit rushed, the doctor was cleaning up her stuff as I was trying to ask questions, it made me feel like I was spending too much time when I've only seen her for a total of 15 minutes. Did not give any other provider recommendations, so I felt like I was on my own after the appointment.

    2026-06-04

  • I am very happy with the provider. We also talked about some skin concerns I had besides my hair concerns. Thank you.

    2026-05-29

  • She seemed a little rushed but that may be because from what i hear and read the hospital tries to get doctors to fit visits into 15 min. time frames.

    2026-05-26

  • She is very kind and caring. She entered the room with obvious ken of my issues, and she answered my questions and set up a plan to address them. Of course, as is always the case, I came home with further questions, and will be emailing her with them!

    2026-05-29

  • I had a very good experience with this provider. It was my first time seeing her. She was listening, carefully understood my concern. She was very friendly and professional.

    2026-05-27

  • It was a very good visit. I had some questions which she answered clearly and made sure I understood the information.

    2026-04-13

  • She was rushed and did not provide any information or recommendations regarding skin care. Specifically did not provide information about using sun screen. I had to ask her about it and she did not take the time to address it fully. I felt that this info should have been the focus of the visit especially since she had to freeze 7 precancerous lesions on my face.

    2026-04-12

  • This was my first time seeing this care provider. She was very professional in all ways. I went into the skin exam wondering if I might have some cancer on my scalp. My scalp was looked out. A sample of the skin on my neck was also taken. I experience no pain. I am cancer free. I am happy.

    2026-03-04

  • Pleasure to be a patient of MGB

    2026-02-18

  • She was wonderful. The only downside is that turnover of dermatologists means she doesn't yet know me personally, but I hope that will improve in the next couple of years.

    2026-02-18

  • [redacted] This was one of a few times where I have really felt that a provider did not have time to see me and listen to me. It felt like they were rushing out to get to their next appointment. I wait months for this appointment and to spend less than 15 minutes with the provider it felt very dismissive of my concerns. [redacted] I would've just appreciated a more thorough explanation and alternatives rather than just ending the appointment. [redacted]

    2026-02-14

  • I am very happy with my doctor

    2026-02-14

    2026-01-21

  • The doctor was very knowledgeable, very caring, and she listened. Even though I was a new patient, she listened and I felt very relieved after talking to her.

    2026-01-16

  • The nurse questions were not truly applicable since I never interacted with the nurse in the room when the DR was there. However, I believe a nurse & an observer in training led me into the room. I was asked a question and as I was responding I was cut off twice. When they left the room they were talking right outside the door and I heard the older nurse tell the other they want to tell me their life story and I just don't have time for it. I get they are busy, but the office was quiet the day I was there and honestly, did the discussion need to take place where I could hear every word. It doesn't make a patient feel good hearing someone saying things like I overheard. The DR was very good and did not now this occurred.

    2026-01-14

    2026-01-12

  • It was very thoughtful that the doctor entered the room and said if you are not comfortable seeing me, I will get you another doctor. She is a resident in the building I work

    2025-12-31

  • It would be helpful if Dr. A would slow down a little when she speaks - when given new information, I need to assimilate it. It does help that the notes were detailed, however.

    2026-01-02

  • I was seen almost immediately. The doctor was very pleasant, listened to me, and discussed options.

    2025-12-22

  • I was very impressed with the doctor. She had many good ideas and some of them I have to really think about before I actually apply any of them, but they're good ideas and it's just me getting used to the whole idea. No, I'd be very happy to give any recommendations and she's excellent. I'm very happy.

    2025-12-19
