I had one of my many problems kind of skipped over about some of my skin sores and scabs that was interfering with sleeping well.

I'm guessing she didn't check my history beyond the previous visit because she asked how the scalp medicine that the NP had prescribed 6 months ago was working, when the NP had just extended a prescription for a condition she has been treating for more than two years. She also suggested that I return in a year, when the reason I was being checked every six months was because I had had squamous cell carcinoma 2 1/2 years ago. She needed that reminder as well.

Doctor didn't even ask me if she could do a procedure before bringing out the instrument and didn't tell me what she was doing, how it would help and that it would cost extra and I don't think I got the full treatment. It made me angry. She made me feel uncomfortable.

Dr. Deshazo made a point to answer all of my questions thoroughly and patiently. She addressed my concerns in a way that helped me see other perspective and the advised me of her recommended choices from there. The results of all three visits - while surprising to me- were delivered very matter of fact with a lot of information for me to digest at home in follow up too.

I arrived about 15 minutes late (I phoned the clinic on my way to let them know about the delay). Perhaps it was because of my delay that the doctor was so rushed and relatively inattentive.

Seemed to speak to shadowing doctor rather than me. Used medical jargon without explaining. Made it clear she was done with our time together and made it seem that I was keeping her from going forward. Lacks compassion and being present with and seeing patient as a person not just flesh to examine. Felt judged and uncomfortable. She did not try to make patient feel at ease.

Usually there is an email telling me there are notes in my chart, or whatever it is called. I have not gotten such. It would, though, be very helpful to have notes as some of the things the Dr. said, treatments, medicines, sunscreens, etc. I did not know the terminology of skin conditions, nor had little freedom to take notes (being nearly naked and being looked over). I had not been seen in 2 years and did have some concerns, but good to know, nothing serious.
