Dr. Zussman is an excellent brilliant concerned dermatologist. I have been having hair loss. The same day of my appointment her staff called back to inform me that some of the medications I take could cause hair loss. She had researched this and I am very impressed with her concern for me.

The doctor had no idea what I was there for! Once she realized I was there to have pre cancer "frozen" off my face, she asked me if I have ever had anything removed with the Cryo gun before. I said yes, you remove four spots off of me last week. She made me feel like I was a no named no faced nobody!

I had some places on my face that I was concerned about. I wasn't sure if they warranted a visit to the Dr. or not. Dr. Zussman was very kind to me.

I was impressed that before coming into the exam room Dr Zussman had read my chart and familiarized herself with my history. She knew my mother had a malignant melanoma diagnosis and talked with me about her. It was something I had discussed with her at my appointment last year. The Dr brought it up without me having to. I felt like she was on top of my situation and cared and made me feel like I was not just a number on a chart.

I specifically asked for a provider that would be able to help with my issues and when the provider came in the room, I was first surprised with the age and that it appeared to me that she was just out of med school. I didn't feel confident in her as a provider and she had to look up journal articles to see what was written about my issues. She went back and forth on what it might be and just didn't seem that she had the experience necessary to help me. I don't feel that I can go back to this provider again. And at the end of my visit, the assistant told me that, "this really isn't her specialty," when I specifically asked for someone who would know. I'm just not satisfied with this provider or clinic and probably won't go back again. I'll see another provider that is more engaging and concerned with what my needs are.

issues I was concerned about she said were not reasons for concern and didn't explain exactly what they were or cause. she also said all trratment would need to be addressed by a cosmetic dermatologist, which was a little frustrating.

UofU Patient
March 06, 2015
She was very vague in discussing possible treatments and outcomes. I scheduled an appointment to share my concern with someone who had a presumably high level of expertise in the matter, but I left with no guidance and no more knowledge than I had before. While I like the ultimate decision-making being left up to me, I would prefer a provider with an opinion, who offers more firm advice. I felt like my appointment was a waste of both my time & hers.

DR Zussman is very professional, she knew how to find what was wrong, and it was a rare thing, and went about how to fix it and now it is under control.
