Aspen Mountain Dermatology - Dr. Karla Snider Pivik

Aspen Mountain Dermatology

I had an amazing experience at Aspen Mountain Dermatology! I was in urgent need of being seen for…read morewhat I believed to be either an allergic reaction or infection on my face. It had been more than a week and it wasn't clearing up on its own. I could have gone to urgent care but I preferred to see a specialist. I called the front desk and the receptionist, Jenna, was super compassionate about my situation. The soonest I could be seen was two days out, so I booked the appointment anyway. Jenna assured me that I would be called in case there is a cancellation before then that could be filled. Sure enough, not even 10 minutes later I get a call back that there was a cancellation and that I could come in half an hour later. Dr. Olsen was able to diagnose my condition very quickly and was very attentive to my concerns and questions. I was out of the examination room within 15 minutes and never felt rushed. My great experience was largely due to luck, but everyone made the experience all the more flawless despite my diagnosis. I am so happy that I trusted Aspen Mountain Dermatology with my needs!

After waiting for 40 minutes at Aspen Mountain Dematology , they finally took me back to see the…read moredoc... then made me wait even longer... without any explanation and a belated apology from a person who wasn't responsible for the repeated mistake ... after 55 minutes I had to walk out without ever seeing a doc because I had other commitments. Very unprofessional and disappointingly. It was just the error it was the lack of accountability.

Bend Dermatology Clinic - Multiple scars: all of them are atrophic, pigmented and heavily textured

A couple of months after my visit to the West Bend office, I received a letter in the mail from…read moreBend Dermatology saying that I was delinquent on my balance and that they made multiple attempts to collect but failed. This is completely untrue since I never received a phone call or voicemail message or letter in the mail. The ONLY communication from them regarding this was the letter saying I've been referred to their collection agency. Bend Dermatology charged me a $3.70 collection fee and I had to pay the collection agency $2.50 to pay the balance (which was $23.18) via credit card (checks are free) so I paid $6.20 more than the balance due to these shenanigans. Save yourself the inconvenience and incompetence of this business and look elsewhere. I should have looked at Yelp before making an appointment with Bend Dermatology as the low ratings (that are well earned) would have caused me to go somewhere else. BTW, my PCP referred me to Bend Dermatology so the next time I see her, I'll let her know that this is a disservice to her patients.

It's taken me nearly five months to sit down and write this review because I wanted to come from a…read moreplace of clarity--not raw anger. I needed to focus on my daughter first, but I also feel a responsibility to share our experience for others who may be seeking care. I am a Bend native, and Bend Dermatology has always been the go-to in town. When my child was diagnosed with alopecia areata, we were referred there by another doctor. Unfortunately, our experience with the physician who specializes in alopecia areata was one of the most disappointing and upsetting medical experiences I've ever had. From the very first appointment, this doctor showed no bedside manner, no sensitivity, and no grace. My daughter and I left multiple visits in tears--feeling unheard, unseen, pushed, and disrespected. At one point, very private information about my daughter's diagnosis was spoken loudly from across the hall, leaving her embarrassed and humiliated. The language used was blunt, cold, and unnecessarily harsh for a vulnerable preteen. The doctor suggested procedures like scalp biopsies requiring stitches, explained in such a clinical and frightening way that my daughter felt terrified. When we asked about other options, she called in her superior--who confirmed that those procedures weren't even necessary and that alternatives existed. This contradiction only added more stress and confusion. What concerned me most was their push for my daughter to start a medication that wasn't FDA-approved for her age. She was 11 at the time, and the drug is only approved for 12+. The suggestion to start her on it early felt careless and dismissive of the very risks they themselves had emphasized regarding insurance approval, bloodwork, and safety protocols. Neither of us felt comfortable moving forward, and I was disturbed by the pressure to do so. To make sure it wasn't just me, my sister--who has decades of professional experience attending doctor's appointments with clients--came with us to one of the visits. She told me it was one of the worst appointments she'd ever witnessed. That, to me, speaks volumes. I will not name the doctor, but Bend Dermatology will know who I am referring to. What I will say is this: if you or your loved one is dealing with something as personal and vulnerable as alopecia areata, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere. Thankfully, we found a new dermatology office above the Old Mill that has been a complete breath of fresh air. They welcomed my daughter with compassion, validation, and professionalism, creating an environment where she felt safe and supported. The difference was night and day. Good riddance to Bend Dermatology. I would not recommend them for alopecia areata--or any condition that requires sensitivity, empathy, and respect.

Bend Dermatology Clinic - These scars are atrophic, heavily textured and pigmented. Bend Dermatology will not take responsibility for this negligence.

His overspraying of liquid nitrogen left me with deep pits, thick scabs that would fall off my legs because they were so heavy. I did not think that was normal at the time but what could I do? He gave me creams which helped a little with the pigmentation, but did not address any of the other issues. He told me this summer that I could get laser treatments now that Dr. Johnson was back. I was skeptical because lasers can cause more pigmentation. My consultation with Dr. Johnson was not good. She seemed disinterested in helping her place of employment and colleague in improving my skin without me paying for the corrective procedures. When I left she said, "Hey, I gave you this consultation for free!". I immediately let Dr. May and the manager Melissa know that the consultation did not go well and that I need to know how they are going to proceed with helping me fix the situation that is going on two years now. I gave them two weeks to respond to my request to reach out for next steps. Neither Dr. May nor Melissa bothered to reach out to me. It's really galling that despite my disfigurement, Dr. May's negligence and substandard care and Bend Dermatology's neglect and lack of care, they do not feel as if they need to make this right. I will never go back to this clinic and do not recommend this clinic. They do not care about you.
