Patient Reviews
Feb 07, 2020
I've been to visit him 3 times now. The first time was for what he diagnosed as eczema. He came in and asked what I was there for, I pointed at a place on my arm and he just went, oh - that's eczema, I'll prescribe you a foam for that. I thought he was a little hasty with his diagnosis, but I went home and used the cream and it cleared right up. My most recent visit I arrived 10 minutes early. It had been a few years since the eczema issues. Within minutes I was in the exam room with Michael. His first question was how is the rash doing. Clearly he had read my file before coming in. I showed him a few warts I had and he had come in carrying the freeze can needed to treat warts. Wow - he already have the tools, After that I had him do a full check of my body for any irregularities and then I was on my way home. As I was walking to my car I looked at my watch and it was 12 minutes past my appointment time. WOW, most of the time with other Dr. I would still be waiting
