If I could give 1-star for Dr. Asarch, who started this practice, I would, as he missed my skin…read morecancer, and also told me an angioma fibroma on my nose was a "pimple," so I applied his logic to the "pimple" I saw on my forehead/hair line, only to discover later, via a second opinion, that it was, indeed, skin cancer, and required Mohs surgery, including a huge hole to be cut out of my head (see photo). I clearly and directly addressed this with my PA, Kate Harrison, who I had been seeing intermittently, in between my annual skin checks with Dr. Asarch, before switching to a different dermatologist, for my Mohs surgery, after the doctors here breached my trust.
So, why 5 stars? Because PA Kate Harrison is awesome, and I have trust in her intelligence, medical competence, and patient-focused personality, as she is extremely attentive to details, and she has done a wonderful job, within her scope of work.
Kate has diagnosed and properly treated a number of skin conditions for me, due to my return to my hometown, of Denver, CO, from both coasts, San Francisco - marine climate & NoVA/Washington, DC - humid climate, so my skin needed a fair bit of adjusting, back to our dry climate.
Wearing my Peloton cycling gel shorts, that are tight fitting, as well as experimenting with various full-body moisturizers, led to a few breakouts, and Kate tackled all of them, remarkably, as well as recommending tips & tricks, and products for me to use, to solve the problems.
In parallel, as I return to walking on the High Line Canal & snowboarding, I've gotten a few corns on the bottoms of my feet (maybe due to my Birkenstocks, maybe due to genetics), and now we have a good cadence, of treating them every 8-weeks, and they are slowly reducing.
I'm thrilled with Kate, hence the 5-stars for her. :-) Also, Forefront Dermatology has turned this office around, from a business perspective, since the acquisition, so I'm pleased with this transition away from Dr. Asarch, for this reason, as well.
