Stone Dermatology

I went to Stone Dermatology in January 2014 with a basal cell carcinoma present on my nose. I saw a very nice young lady whom I believe held the title of PA. She explained to me the cell could be removed with the scrape and burn technique. I set the appointment and went in to have it done. She performed the procedure and I returned for my next few visits as scheduled. Low a behold in approximately Feb. or March 2015 the cells returned in the same spot. I went in in June this time and was told she would perform the same procedure. I declined that for fear of it just returning year after year and asked if I can get the Moh’s procedure done. I was told she couldn’t do that and would have to refer me out. I made the appt. for a biopsy only to cancel it after thinking about it.
I went to a second dermatologist and saw the actual dermatologist at the office who reviewed the previous biopsy along with the biopsy they performed and concluded it should have been a Moh’s Procedure from the beginning.
Here’s my review. The gal I saw although quite professional was not the dermatologist that owns the practice. Nor have I ever seen the dermatologist in that building during any of my return visits. But yet I got billed as if it were the doctor himself attending to me.
It took 15 minutes of waiting to get to the check out desk only to go back and forth for another 8 minutes on what they should charge us for the visit. Finally deciding we must have been trustworthy enough to bill the insurance company first and then mail us a bill for the deductible.
Last but by far not least the young lady (possibly PA) was again willing to perform the same procedure on me. This makes me wonder… was it because that’s the only procedure you are authorized to do?
Not very happy with the place like the two stars suggest Meh. I’ve experienced WAY better.
