Feb 2024 Skin Check with Sarah Riley PA-C “OK” Certainly No Great Experience. Very fixed on getting exam notations to MA THUS Impersonal, Little Eye Contact, Short Answers.
I pointed out 5 Small Painless Scattered Areas of Discoloration on L Shin. Ms Riley PA informed Me No Health Hazard but Laser Txs would be Tx of Choice for Cosmetic Purpose & referred Me to Nichole (PA I Believe) with The Practice Aesthetic Dept.
Went to Nichole Jan 2025. MY Literal Experience from Waiting Rm to leaving Exam Rm lasted 3-5 minutes.
Nichole Called Me Back frm Wtg Rm, got to her, she said “Straight Back, Follow Me”. We Sped back to the Rm. “What are you here for”Me “Discolored areas L Shin”. I began to lift the snug bottom of my pants. Nichole “Just Drop your Pants” I got the pant leg up, She looked at area, “those are not Hemangiomas” Me “I’m an RN but never worked in skin care but Sarah Riley PA said areas Blanche”
Nichole “Well, They have No Idea what we do back here, those are NOT Hemangiomas on ur Leg & a Laser won’t help you”
Me “where do you Suggest I go”.
Nichole “ I don’t know, Maybe Dr Yellin”.
Me “I see him & I’ve already asked him about the areas on My leg, He referred me to a Dermatologist, so I saw Sarah Riley”.
Nichole “well I don’t mean to sound Rude butI don’t know Why you were sent here”
I won’t even go into the Answer I got after asking what could be done Re the large discolored area around a tiny Botched surgical scar on the Rt Shin done by another Dermatologist in another Practice that looks & feels like a 2x2 grafting job.
I pulled My pant legs down and got the Heck out of there!!! Healthcare Has Drastically Changed for the Worse!
Just FYII did get a print out of The Feb 2023 Exam. Sarah Riley’s Feb 2024 Charted Notes referred to Areas on my shin as Painful (have never been painful), due to infection, most likely strep (NO Way) & if doesn’t clear up (?) try NSAIDS. That was NEVER Discussed!
One Stunned, Offended, & Confused Patient!
