Doc was very sweet and helpful during an incredibly painful experience I was having. She listened to my fears, assessed my needs and was able to determine a course with a happy medium. I've only ever been to the dermatologist one other time, many years ago, so I didn't know what to expect, but I was blown away. I think I will keep Doc as my go to!
