Over the next 45 years, I consulted some of the top dermatological experts in the treatment of psoriasis and have used about every treatment, biological and topical, that has come out. Nothing really worked well for me. About a year ago, I saw (yet another) dermatologist, Dr. Jeffrey Sobell in Chestnut Hill near Boston. During the very first appointment, he said "you don't have psoriasis - you have eczema." I was floored. I've seen over a dozen dermatologists in my life, all of whom treated my condition as psoriasis. I am now being treated for eczema and am effectively cured! My skin problems have totally disappeared. I can't thank Dr. Sobell enough.

I wasn't planning to revisit her in a year to get less and less of a cream I needed either. Then she recommended some so called experts and even called one up to contact me, without my permission. She hadn't even given me the name of the dermatologist. I'm not going to go, because she might be the same sort of dermatologist as this one.

When I signed up to see a dermatologist in Wellesley, I did not expect for it to be in a building…read moreas old as the state. I imagine they make out on rent for this horrible building that was likely built in the 1940s. But the actual offices are nice and super modern - too bad I feel like I went through a time warp to get there. The doctor I saw was perfectly nice but I don't feel that her examination was thorough. She didn't check every place and seemed to take great stock in the fact that I had a mole exam within the last 3 years. The entire thing took 4 minutes. I asked about further procedures and pricing... of course, she has no idea. However, I recently had several rude dermatologists and this doctor was perfectly polite. It also showed up on my mass general patent gateway which is helpful for records and billing.

When making the appointment, I didn't feel like I needed to divulge all the reasons why I'm coming to see a doctor to a RECEPTIONIST, so I said I'd like to speak to her about some dermatitis. When I finally had my appointment today, the office assistant was quite adamant that I could only speak to her about the ONE thing I came to speak to her about because they had only allotted enough time for that. So, the doctor just absolutely refused to talk to me about ANYTHING else. It was a serious mind-fuck. Isn't a dermatologist supposed to check your moles or something as part of a routine visit? I felt completely rushed and disrespected - it really ruined my day. And the worst part is that they were so nice and pleasant about the whole thing. I get it. Doctors get paid for procedures they do, not to listen to you complain about how you don't like your complexion. This one will probably be more interested in me when I'm 40 and wanting Botox or skin resurfacing or whatever the fck the bored housewives of Arlington get for their bdays. This was a real disappointment. After reading reviews about a doctor who listens, I experienced something altogether different.

Dr Hirsch does not strike me as the type of Doctor you select for a "routine visit". The woman is…read morerenowned for cosmetic and laser dermatology, which is why I waited for an appointment. In my case, I decided to see Dr. Hirsch for laser hair removal and a general consult about what daily facial skin regimen would be best for me. The woman is adorable. She is full of energy and possesses a staggering wit. More importantly, she is devastatingly blunt. If what you want is unrealistic, she is going to tell you, and I think that is an extremely important characteristic for someone in her field. Luckily, my expectations were feasible, and after a thorough chat about my skin and what over the counter products I could use to keep me looking younger longer (which, although admittedly rather expensive, have been working like a charm!), I was ushered out to schedule the actual appointment for my procedure. The ensuing appointment was just as great as the consult. I am sure I looked slightly nutty in protective eyewear (lasers are bright!), a medical gown, and a hair cap. Yet somehow, Dr Hirsch put me at ease. She even gave me a stuffed animal to hold on to during the procedure. The day after the procedure I was surprised by how red the treated areas looked. It was a little scary! I called the office and the office manager took my information. Soon after, Dr. Hirsch rang my phone and walked me through my concerns. The redness was normal, but she was never condescending, and she even called me each day for 2 days thereafter, just to make sure I was doing well! And the results of the procedure?.... SO GREAT!! I will definitely consult Dr. Hirsch for all of my dermatology and cosmetic concerns in the future.

This is the most unpleasant experience I've had with a doctor in some time. First, she was accusatory (why are you here?), almost scolding me for coming in for an annual checkup. She was cold, condescending, dismissive and SO palely unrealistic. When I copped to going to the beach on the weekends and getting some moderate sun exposure - with SPF 50, a sun hat and an umbrella, always, she asked (was it smugly?), "well......would you ever consider changing your lifestyle to stay out of the sun?" Oh yeah, I'm going to stop all my outdoor exercise and activities - biking, running, tennis, skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, kayaking, etc - and have overweight kids. That sounds like quite a lifestyle change. Why didn't I think of that sooner? Additionally, she seems to be that type that suggests you cut every dot off, to hell with the scars. Seems a bit excessive to me. Back to MGH I go!

The office is conveniently on Beacon Street, his secretary was friendly and efficient, and my appointment was quick and painless. I had a biopsy done, and although I scheduled a follow-up appointment to go over the results, Dr. Bendetson gave me a call two days later with the results and ordered my prescription while I was still on the phone. He really took the time to get to know me in my short appointment, and made me feel comfortable when sometimes skin isn't a fun topic of conversation. He will definitely be my go-to dermatologist in the Boston-area, and I will recommend him to my friends/family.

No one from office gave me a call and they tell me that I'm supposed to keep calling them to see if the results are back * After 6 days when I called, the results were in and surprisingly, the doctor spoke to me. He asked me which medications I was taking (which I already had told me in person) * The biospy was sent to the lab which my medication names and I finally got a report in my hand mentioning that both of my oral medication are culprit towards the rash ( I'm skeptical about that right now) * I just called there office to speak to the dr for the follow up and the receptionist tells me that he is gone for the day.... and basically hung up on me after that.
