Susanne L Gee, MD MS

I was very disappointed by my visit with Susanne. After calling around to multiple dermatologist who were booked months out, I was pleasantly surprised to find that she had an opening that week. Unfortunately now I know why. I had been suffering from a mysterious rash on my face that was very frustrating and embarrassing as we as uncomfortable. I brought in every product in a bag I had been using to show Susanne, which she disregarded and didn’t even look at. She visited with me at the most for 5 min, before writing down on a piece of paper, «see allergist» and no other resolutions or even a referral. The next week I went to my general practitioner who immediately referred me to a new dermatologist as well as an allergist and prescribed a prescription topical ointment that immediately helped the rash.
I have great insurance and after paying my co-​pay I received a $ 202.74 dollar charge for a five minute visit that left me with no resolution. I left that office visit in tears feeling helpless about the dramatic rash on my face and the lack of care I received. I rarely leave Unilocal reviews but was very compelled to warn others of my experience.

This is very weird phrase for me to use for a medical practice, but I really enjoyed my visits to Dr. Gee. She and her staff are really down to earth and instead of being put off by my sometimes weird sense of humor (having my skin checked for melanomas, ya know, that can make a person kind of nervous, and I respond by joking) laughed and felt comfortable sharing their own hilarious stories with me. Definitely the most positive setting for having moles taken off my skin.
I had to have a couple «problem» spots removed and NBD; done and done. I opted to get a mole taken off my face purely for vanity reasons, and a couple months later it’s healing beautifullly (I mean, obviously it’s healed — I just mean it’s fading out now).
I also like that Dr. Gee will do things like remove skin tags for you — I have a friend who went to a dermatologist who made her feel like an idiot for asking. Skin tags aren’t a big deal, but if they bug you, why shouldn’t you have them removed?
Anyway, this is a place I am happy we found.

I went in for a consultation with Dr Gee because of the reviews on Unilocal-​Seattle. When I called in for a consultation appointment I gave my insurance information and was told «yes, we take that insurance for consultation fees.» The costs that Dr Gee charges for some procedures seemed to be lower than other Dermatologists and I was excited at the prospect at getting the procedure done by Dr Gee. Plus, I live in the Admiral District in West Seattle and the office is conviently located in the Junction. Super easy to get to. Easy parking. Upon arriving for my consultation the receptionist at the office wasn’t very friendly. I sniffled once while reading a magazine and she curtly asked if I needed a tissue.
Consultation went fine and I looked forward to receiving perhaps ongoing services at Dr Gee’s. This was all until I received a bill for $ 195.00 for the consultation. It turns out my specific insurance did not cover the consultation and so the bill goes to the patient. YIKES. I have never heard of such a high fee for a 10 – 15 minute consultation.
I called Dr Gee’s office and spoke to a unsympathetic representative who explained that this is the cost and it doesn’t make a difference whether I elect to get the procedure or not the consultation fee of $ 195 still needs to get paid. I tried to explain the cost was not written anywhere on anything I signed and I was led to believe my insurance would cover it. Representative then told me that usually insurance pays for other patients but my specific type doesn’t and she went on to let me know the document I signed says whatever insurance doesn’t cover patient is fully responsible. This I think is standard for most medical practices never did I think a consultation fee would be so much.
I was hoping Dr Gee’s office would negotiate with the consultation fee if I elected to pay for a procedure. Nope. **VERY BUMMED**
Will look for another dermatologist for procedure.
On the up side, Dr Gee provided free samples and seemed like a very competent doctor who listened very carefully to my needs. She also seemed like a very nice person overall. I wouldn’t recommend Dr Gee’s to anyone on the off chance the person had insurance that wouldn’t cover consultation fee and also wouldn’t want anyone to have to deal with unresponsive office support.

I have been going to Dr. Gee for many years now, even though I also have a different health insurance, because she is more detailed and understands my cosmetic concerns. She is kind, carefull, extremely detailed, and top notch in her field!

Dr. Gee and her staff are always courteous and professional. It feels great to know that they are there to help me and my family. I took my 14 year old son to her for a small procedure and she explained everything to him so that he wouldn’t be scared and was comfortable.

Dr. Gee was fantastic! I’m back in NYC now, and I so wish I could import her here because she was worlds and worlds above any dermatologist experience I’ve ever had. Wonderful staff, and a clean office with well-​chosen, beautiful artwork.
I needed a dangerous mole removed, and got all worked up over it. I thought Dr. Gee was just about to start the procedure; only to learn, she had in fact finished it!!! I hadn’t even felt a thing; my entire visit required only ten minutes. Shortest wait times on all occasions I’ve ever had anywhere, as well. When I called and asked if I could take stitch out myself, the nurse was completely non-​judgemental and walked me through it kindly. Love my samples, too! Thanks to the entire office, the next time I’m in Seattle I’ll be getting my annual with you.

Letters came to me in the mail trying to scare me– with legal words yellowed. That is not how you treat a person. Your comment Dr. Gee is not going to change the scar on my face or how I was treated.

I was shocked to see the bad review of Dr. Gee but once I saw Dr. Gee’s rebuttal, I understood that it there was more there than meets the eye.
I had an AMAZING visit with Dr. Gee. Her staff was courteous and professional, they were able to schedule me at a time that was convenient for me. I did not even get a chance to open my book in the waiting room (how often does that happen?). Dr. Gee’s bedside manner was calm, comforting, and down to earth. I felt very reassured during m exam and she made certain to answer all of my questions.
She made me feel like we were partners in my well being.
I strongly recommend Dr. Gee and will continue to refer people to her.
