My appointment was at 8 and the Doctor didn't come into my room until about 8:45. When he came in he asked if I was still doing the treatment he prescribed a year before. I said no, and explained I went off the oral antibiotics because I try to stay away from putting too many chemicals in my body. He asked if I was using the face wash they sell there (the Aracadia Benzaderm wash). I said I used it for about 7 months and it stopped working for my breakouts. He became irritated and said I still need to use that and gave me some topical gel samples and left. This was all under 2 minutes. I took time off work and paid a 40$ copay to have the dermatologist prescribe me a facewash I already tried and didn't work and then to get a couple of sample topical gels. Not even a prescription for the topical gels. He wanted me to come back in 3 weeks to see how it was working, so I could pay another 40$ copay. Then I asked the assistant if there was any type of cream she recommended I put on my face to prevent scarring for the breakouts and she said no. There's nothing I could do to help the scarring except go through their skin peel laser treatments they offered at out of pocket costs. I felt like my experience there was less than impressive. He didn't ask me anything about my lifestyle, diet, hormones, or anything that might be causing my breakouts. To me, it seemed like all they cared about was promoting and selling their own products.
