Had to call and really, really ask hard to get in with the NP and was told they would ask Dr. G about my skin cancer. and I would get a call back quickly. I had to call 3X several days apart before I got a call back and then it was hard to get an answer. IT is very hard to see Dr. G.. Upset, frustrated, I moved on to a Traverse City Derm who was better at communication. I got a much better answer and was very happy I look further. It will be fixed by laser.
