So, I'm about to Toot my own horn here. Received this email from a patient:…read more Dear Nancy, I want to thank you for your attentiveness to my health. The initiative you took to reroute my skin biopsy to the appropriate Doctor is genuinely stellar service. Kessel Dermatology has checked a particular skin area on my back that brought me concern for two years. So for me, it was of the utmost importance that a dermatopathologist would diagnose the skin sample from my back. You expedited the turnaround time for my results which provided me great comfort and reduced my anxiety. I request that you forward my note to Dr. Kessel to allow him to review the kind experience you have provided. Thank you for taking care of me as a patient; you have made me feel valued and respected. With the utmost respect, XXXXX I have left her name out, at her request. To tell you how I felt about that, I'll show you my response: Hi XXXXX, First, let me say I'm glad that I was able to put your mind at ease and help to reduce your anxiety. Second I want to thank you for such a nice letter!! You don't know how much I appreciated that. I forwarded it to Dr. Kessel as you asked and he was very impressed. I have been with him for 29 years and this was probably the greatest complimentary letter I've ever gotten. Don't get me wrong. For the first 20 years, I was Dr. Kessel's Medical Assistant, and I had great repore with my patients. They always complimented me to him, but I think he took it with a grain of salt. But with you, we were never face to face, only voices on the phone, so he was extremely happy to hear that I treat the patients I've never met the same as the ones I used to see over and over in the office. I think I may even get a raise out of it!! LOL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- So, posting this was not only to toot my own horn, but also to let people know that not only myself, but everyone of us in this practice treat our patients with the utmost respect, whether you've been with the practice as long as I have, (I think I was born here!! LOL) or you are new to us.

Love Kessel Dermatology and my family and I have been patients for over 20 years. Decided to…read moreventure into cosmetic treatment and had a terrible experience. Rushed, overpriced and the engagement with staff unprofessional. After the procedure was done I asked how long to see results - was told these were the results, needless to say I was so disappointed. I did explore other providers and have gotten superior results, more inviting environment and the cost noticeably different. Will continue with dermatology but very disappointed with the cosmetic arm.

I had two spots I was worried about but went in for a full body check. After waiting for at least…read more30 minutes past my appointment time, I saw Dr Kessel. He was quick; too quick in my opinion. He didn't use any examining devices. I didn't feel completely safe when he dismissed my concerns and said everything was ok. I saw another dermatologist about two weeks later. The doctor did a complete examination of my body. One of the spots I was worried about is pre-cancerous and is being treated with a cream. The other was biopsied and the results came back today: squamous cell carcinoma! I called Dr Kessel's office to tell the manager what happened and she said someone would call me back. No one did! Choose a different dermatologist!

Went for a skin cancer screening. Had a few spots that I wanted checked out. Office staff were…read morepleasant. Waiting area is very nice. Ms. Hassanali provided my care. She recommended doing a biopsy of 3 areas. I thought that was routine procedure. As she does the biopsies, she noted most people wanted the areas checked over time. Good to know now that I'm in the middle of the procedure. She cauterized the areas. When home doing wound care, I find she removed the entire area that looked odd. The wounds still haven't fully healed after over 3 months and they will scar. I have 2 areas in the back of my calves that look horrible. First, reviewing all options with me should be done. Telling me that the entire discolored areas will be cut out and how slowly those biopsy areas will heal, and that they will scar, would have influenced my decision. I didn't have enough information to make an informed decision. Now I have still healing wounds on my legs. Yes, I did go to follow-up appointments and was told legs heal last and slowly. My summer was ruined due to these wounds and I'll be scared. Not impressed at all with the care.

Came to Kessel Dermatology for my first-ever Derm appointment because I had two marks I was…read moreconcerned with and the experience was very impersonal. I booked the first appointment of the day with Alena weeks in advance and it took me longer to drive to the appointment than the time spent inside with her. She did a full body assessment while she discussed the two marks on my shoulder and nose (she said they were no problem right away), and then just carried on. I had mentioned this was my first appointment with a dermatologist, and I am very fair-skinned, have tons of freckles, and am 40 already...so I just thought she would have spent some time discussing some aspects of my skin I should focus on. I highly doubt I am doing great on all fronts of melanoma prevention. Anyway, maybe they were super busy that day or something, but it just wasn't the experience I hoped for.

But without going into too much detail, I had a very basic skin condition that I saw him for over the course of a year. After countless prescriptions with no results, i decided to see another dermatologist. Within 5 minutes this new doctor said exactly what it was (another basic skin condition) and now my skin is completely clear. What astonishes me is that a doctor with this many years of practice in dermatology could not diagnose what is probably one the five most common skin conditions. And it also makes me concerned for other patients of his.
