The woman behind the desk was very rude -- at first she refused to tell me, and when I persisted, she finally admitted that there...

Review for Dr. Mikolaenko
I very much appreciate a straight to the point approach and that is what I got. No dancing around. He told me like it is and what I am dealing with. Then we discussed options on how to make my situation better. I am looking forward to my appointment next week and to discuss my situation further.

Review for Dr. Carrese
I would recommend Dr. Kelly for surgery consultation. He is on time, caring and will always ask if you have any questions that he will take time to answer. That is important to me to know that I am included and heard when decision making regarding my healthcare.

I was misdiagnosed with being allergic to Isotretinoin, even though I had been taking it for more than a month daily without any problems. She had a special allergist that she trusted, but she did not refer me to this specialist until 4 months later, which wasted my time and money and extended my...
