He came very highly rated, but the good doctor seems like he has a few screws loose. His exam was rather cursory, even though I told him I have had basal cells remove before. He seemed more interested in commenting on how "lovely" my skin was than anything else. I asked him if he was flirting with me, and he replied, "Maybe a little." He correctly diagnosed a spot on my shoulder I was worried about as just surface blood vessels, but said I had no need of annual skin exams, which I have always been told every one at risk for skin cancer should have, especially someone who has had it before. Then he went way off topic, and started pushing a vitamin supplement agenda, which, when I checked after I got home, recommended dangerous levels, in some cases. I will not be returning to him. My internist said she will recommend someone else next year.
