I went to Brown Dermatology after a different local dermatologist told me what I had been observing…read morefor a year (at that time) was 'nothing' and sent me on my way. I had waited a year to see that other doctor. As the condition persisted, I took a chance with Brown Dermatology and met with one of their nurse practitioners. My first appointment, which was several months out, was cancelled due to the provider being ill. It was rescheduled for later in the week. For that appointment I had been out for other appointments and was fifteen minutes away for an appointment in ten minutes. When I called them to say I would be late by five minutes they told me if I wasn't there in ten minutes I would be marked as a missed appointment and not seen. Odd, but OK, if that's policy, I just made another appointment. Well, that one was also cancelled because the provider was sick. OMG. A new appointment was booked for later that week and finally, on my fourth try, everything went smoothly. Life happens. Luckily I'm flexible. I was very worried about my appointment because of the previous doctor I had seen. At this point it's been over two years that I have been observing a scaly patch on my nose as well as some other 'new' to me points. The nurse practitioner was very patient listening to my observations and asked questions. She diagnosed two different things going on. The scaly patch is a pre-cancerous condition that she was able to freeze off at that visit so it's no longer a concern. Yay. For the other thing she prescribed a skin cream and gave me samples of face wash and sun screen. After just three days of treatment my skin is already looking more like my normal skin and I really like these samples she gave me. There is a sign at reception saying they are using new software so there may be some delays. They also use an online patient portal (as most doctors do these days) where you can send message and get test results. Their office is on the top floor of the building. The parking lot is large with several handicapped spots by the door. Doors are either automatic or have the wheelchair open mechanism. An elevator is across from the entrance.

I want to update my review of my experience with Brown Dermatology now that I have answers…read more I was seen (and gaslit) at the Warwick, Providence and South Kingstown location while trying to address a butterfly rash that developed any time I go outside and my right arm turning blue. My butterfly rash was brushed off by multiple specialists as a sun allergy despite having a known autoimmune condition and histamine intolerance. They gave me allergy meds and sent me on my way. As for my blue arm, they initially did a biopsy in Warwick that showed that it couldn't possibly be tattoo ink cause it went deeper than a tattoo would go. Despite this and even being sent to rounds at the Providence location over the course of countless visits, they told me to "cover it up with a tattoo" if it bothers me. That's when they brought up how much it'll cost. When I stood up for myself, they sent me on my way. Instead of referring me to a different specialist for investigation or admitting they don't know what's wrong, they brushed me off. I'm so glad I didn't listen to them and continued to advocate for myself! About a month ago, a different doctor who listened to me discovered that my arm is blue due to a condition called Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)!!! It took this new doctor one visit and one test vs 2 years! Unfortunately, thanks to Brown Dermatology, my ability to get treatment and answers was drastically delayed... The kicker is that I asked the doctors at Brown Dermatology and they insisted that it's tattoo ink despite their own labs showing otherwise... TOS is something that needs treatment due to the risk of clots and can't just be "covered up with a tattoo" like the doctors at Brown Dermatology suggested... After this experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend Brown Dermatology.

5++++++ (make it 6)…read more Dr. Frankel is amazing! Her clinical expertise and patient care is simply unmatched. Don't expect to have years of the same ongoing skin issues. Dr. Frankel, Maria and the rest of her staff know their skin& leading medical science! The practice is super professional and compassionate. Since meeting Dr. Frankel I simply admire how she incorporates a holistic approach to modern skin medicine; which in today's busy lifestyles often is overlooked by patients (but not by an outstanding practitioner) . I've been to other practices and thought it was the standard to always feel dissatisfied with the level of care, ineffective treatments with medicines that had harmful side effects and not to mention tolerating the poor demeanor of those clinicians. I'm glad I kept searching and found Dr. Frankel! From day one, they educated me in depth on sunscreen, nutrition, lifestyle and environmental triggers that harm the skin which makes for all-inclusive treatment that works. May seem like common sense but it is always part of their discussion and now I see why. They don't just treat an issue, they have a holistic (whole body) approach because external factors can be causing your issues. Bottom line: The office does not leave the details out when treating patients which is why they are effective and patients see healthier results. If you want to be educated, informed and transformed.....this office is the only place in NE for you. And No... its not by magic but Dr. Frankel sure makes it feel that way! She's a 10 hands down- caring, respectful and so considerate! *note: may take a few months to get an appt, book now. Well worth the wait! I usually am only inclined to write reviews for an either outstanding service or an epic fail. This my fellow Yelpers is one of those outstanding Businesses. Dr. Frankel knows her s*~t!
