As a new patient, it was a 4 month lead time to get an appointment for an annual check up. My…read moreappointment was on a Monday morning, and the parking lot was quite full so I did a couple of laps before securing a spot. An hour or so later there seemed to be more availability. Check in was brief, only one form to sign. I was seated for 10 minutes when a male medical assistant showed me to my room, updated the reason for visit on his laptop, then instructed me to remove everything except underwear, and he departed after closing a privacy curtain. 20 minutes later Dr Christie Williams and the male medical assistant arrived. I was surprised when the assistant stayed with no "this is Chris, he will be attending the exam, is that OK with you?" I felt a little awkward as I am female, but not so uncomfortable as to ask for a female attendant. Dr Williams is personable, friendly, answered all my questions and the full exam only took 6-7 minutes. At check out it was easy to book next year's appointment.

Mom was taken on time, the staff is pleasant. Dr Simkin is outstanding. He has a wonderful disposition, explained things in easy to understand terms and even whipped out a notepad to write a couple of terms down in case we wanted to do more research on our own. He has a rare, warm, beside manner and I feel fortunate he is looking after mom. He currently works 2 days a week, so making an appointment can take some lead time. He has a patient portal, although it is limited in use. You can use it to communicate with him/his staff, but features such as updating current med list is not an option. You can email them with updates as a work around. Otherwise, at the beginning of the appointment there is a manual review and update by an assistant. Location in Chelmsford is easy to get to with plenty of parking.

Of course, there's a charge for canceling within 24/48 hours and of course, they expect you to pay if you don't get covered by the insurance. It's a business not a charity. Of course you will wait when you go to a doctor's office! That's why that little room out front is called a "waiting room". Duh! Now, for the actual dermatology practice, they're wonderful. The doctor is funny and personable and incredibly short, which is hilarious too as my son at 12 is taller than him. The service has been off the charts, remarkable, I would absolutely recommend anyone and everyone to use this dermatologist. Yes he uses beetlejuice on molsekums, it hurts I'm not denying that. But it is amazingly effective to the point that my son admits it was worth the pain.

I would continue to see her if she was not with APDerm. I had a mole removed a while ago and the individual who performed the work (different location from my visit with Dr. Stitt) hacked away at me while discussing with the attending nurse her hours (basically conducted herself as though I wasn't even laying on the table while she performed the procedure). I still have a massive scar that was not necessary to remove the mole. I have had several moles removed over the years by my previous dermatologist (who has retired) and never had an experience or result like this. In addition to that terrible experience, their billing practices are shady at best (wrong codes to providers for services performed and misleading quotes for services). I will be reporting them to ALL the organizations as I have in good faith tried to get these billing issues reconciled directly with APDerm.
