The Dr. at urgent care was uncomfortable suturing her face and called APDerm in Arlington and made an appointment for us after sending pictures to be sure they would be able to help. The nurse practitioner came in and asked what we were there for. We told her we needed to have the laceration sutured. She said she does not suture lacerations, turned and left the room. They spent time trying to get us an appointment elsewhere but were unable to do so. The office manager admitted we should never have been given an appointment. Cost after billing insurance $256. I am making payments on the account but they called today to tell us we still owed the money. They didn't call me, they called my teenage granddaughter to let her know, not the person listed as responsible for the bill. I wouldn't waste my time going to them.

I have been wanting to get laser hair removal for years but have been scared of the risks of laser…read morehair removal as a black woman. Dark hair on dark skin is the hardest combination for this, most lasers have been designed for light skin and dark hair. For me it was important to find someone that not only had the right laser (Nd:YAG 1064nm) for my skin tone, but also someone who had experience treating someone that looks like me. I felt confident enough after my consultation with Dr. Graber to make my first appointment for laser hair removal. The only reason this place doesn't get 5 starts is because it is impossible to get someone on the phone to answer questions. I understand that they are extremely busy, but I had to call 5 times between Friday and Monday to finally get a response while I was in the car on my way to my appointment which was frustrating and scary before my first laser removal appointment. I ended up getting there early so that I had time to ask all my questions. Though I did feel a little rushed at first, when a said I had a couple questions they immediately got the doctor so I could speak to her before we proceeded. After that I felt relieved and much more comfortable proceeding with the laser treatment. In hindsight, I think this is so routine to the nurses and doctors that work there they probably thought I was a repeat patient and didn't anticipate me having questions. But as soon as I spoke up they were much more attentive and explained everything that they were doing along the way. I left feeling good about my overall experience and I think my next visit will be a better one now that I know what to expect. I've only just started laser hair removal treatment so I can't say yet how well it has worked but I have no negative side effects and have been able to go about my life normally after the first treatment.

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.

I visited Derm Assoc. today for the first time because I needed to see someone about two completely different issues- acne and a recurring foot problem. (We have dubbed the foot problem "greyscale" in my house). I saw a nurse practitioner who was super thorough and down to business. She gave me tons of free product for my skin (two full size items and 6 medium sample sizes), and put me on scripts for my acne, both pill form and topical. The foot issue: unsure on how to treat just yet- waiting on results from the lab. I was in and out in no time, but didn't feel rushed at all. The front desk was amazingly efficient as well... seems like this place runs like a top! And everyone was helpful. I'm headed back in mid December and will update then!

So they assigned the nurse practitioner Kate Mc Cabe who looks like she is right out of school and honestly knew less than my son whom had done his extensive research. She insisted on a lotion, rather than the Accutane saying if the lotion does not work, we will prescribe the accutane. 7 weeks later, I go back to the office to get the accutane prescription as his acne had got worst, and I explained that it was creating anxiety and stress for my son and the family. She said we had to make a new appointment to get the prescription, which obviously was their plan all along so they can charge us another $50 co-payment and invoice a fortune to our insurrance. I would stay away from this scam dermatologist obviously abusing the system.

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!

I have recommended this Dermatology practice to so many people…read more I have been to three of the locations now, and they are all excellent. If I have an urgent issue, Lena at scheduling has been phenomenal at getting back to me with a cancellation spot. Without an urgent matter, it's usually a 2 to 3 week wait depending on location. Dr. Dawn Baird is who my daughter and now I, typically see. She is extremely thorough and is excellent at avoiding pain. I do not know how she does it but the couple Novocain injections she administered was 100% pain free. I did not even feel a pinch. I forget her assistant's name, but the two of them work great as a team. Dr. Baird is not your typical dermatologist. She takes pictures of everything and dictates extremely thorough notes, to the point where I have no idea what she's talking about, not that it matters because she simplifies it afterwards. I went in for a very awkward procedure, that she turned simple and easy .... as if it was nothing. And let me tell you, it definitely was something. A little advice... Don't bother with compound W - all it did was make a mess. Great patient bedside manner and a very soft, empathetic touch. If you or anyone you care about has H.S (Hidradenitis Suppurativa), this is the facility to go to. All the doctors are knowledgeable. In addition to Dr. Baird, Dr. Rowe (and a few others) treated my daughter. Knowledge, kindness and listening are the features that stand out the most. Prior to AP Derm we went to Beth Israel in Boston. We have our favorite doctors there too. But, there is no need to commute that distance when these doctors are equally talented...and give you more time. Dr. Baird actually gave us more helpful info than B.I. - we never feel rushed. That's important.

I think we are just seeing the beginning of the end of health care at Atrius.
