When I was a child, I developed a bad case of Acne. My mother found Dr. Ochs through a mutual friend and I have since been seeing Dr. Ochs as my primary Dermatologist for acne and moles.
Acne can really hurt a child's self-esteem. This was exactly my case. I fought with acne for two years before visiting Dr. Ochs. The first time I saw Dr. Ochs, she was confident she could help my acne. Being a child, we went down the route of over the counter creams and eventually, antibiotics. After fourteen years, I think this was the best route. While many people used harsh treatments like Accutane, Dr. Ochs never felt like this was the right route for me. And today, I agree. It took longer but I never dealt with any side effects. Side effects that I saw my friends had with treatments like Accutane.
A few years into seeing Dr. Ochs, she noticed that I had a few particular moles that were cause for concern. I had no skin cancer in my family, how would I have known to be cautious? With her recommendation, I had professional photos taken of my moles (as a reference for future changes, etc.). She was able to catch a pre-cancerous mole on the back of my neck and another on my shoulder two years later. Well, with the thanks of Dr. Ochs, I can say I am confident that I will be able to prevent skin cancer. Now and in the future.
Today, I recommend Dr. Ochs to all my friends. Each one of my friends that have visited Dr. Ochs has said wonderful things. She is a doctor that has her patient's interests at heart. read more
