Very receptive and extremely knowlegeble about my alopecia universalis issue and had various new treatments which I have not been offered by other dermatologist.
Would never go back to him , in fact , I’m suspect of any practice that would have him. He’s pompous and humorless and has an insensitive personality. Couldn’t diagnose my rash but mentioned two serious diseases that it “could” be. Asked how do we rule out those? He said he didn’t know. “ It also could be nothing. “. Offered no help whatsoever but managed to scare me with very bad possibilities . Terrible experience
I lost my Grandmother to Melanoma and since I share my Grandmother's skin complexion, I went in for a once over feeling it was a good idea. Had no concerns. The visit felt rushed and he asked "So you're here because your Grandmother died of Melanoma and you're scared." I said that I wasn't scared, just though it was a good idea to get checked out with that now in my family history. To which he replied "Well you should." He then proceeded to tell me I should basically walk around in a HAZMAT suit, stay inside as much as possi... read more
Worst dermatologist I have seen. He was rude, insulting and worse, missed the skin issues I was there for him to review. I had to point them out to him! His nurse was appalled at the treatment I was receiving. I will never go back to that place and neither should anyone.
I met Dr. Bruce today for the first time, and I liked him very much. He is very knowledgeable, pleasant, answered all my questions, & was direct & honest with me. I like that in a doctor.
Dr abrupt, difficult to connect with, my treatment procedure came with impatient information. Not critiquing his medical expertise, don’t know outcome of the procedure yet, Certainly not an effective communicator.
Extremely arrogant, proceeded to tell me all my skin concerns were age spot, 3 different issues mind you. 2 new pink spots he said the will probably turn brown but could be cancerous watch them. Guess he can't spot cancer cells. I will never go back to this doctor.
Initially I liked him very much. The next two appointments I was kept waiting over an hour. Had a 9:45am appointment today. Finally walked out at 10:45am. Can't believe he's accepting new patients when he can't manage the ones he had. Extremely disappointed.
Appears knowledgeable; in favor of early detection, hats, sunscreen; original reason for visit diagnosed as actinic keratosis; treatment options were explained with final choice up to me; on a subsequent visit he kept looking at what I thought was a big freckle; he asked if he could take a sample for biopsy; he did; he called the next day with the news that it was malignant; made an appointment for exactly a week later; all cancer was removed with some surrounding tissue; cancer had not spread
