Always attentive to my specific situation, and responsive to any concerns.

I appreciated Dr. Alkassis’s doing a visible check of something likely benign even though it had been checked by a senior dermatologist. It reinforced to me how careful and thorough Dr. Alkassis is. I appreciate the respect and careful listening he does with my husband the patient, who has Alzheimer’s.

Dr. Alkassis is very compassionate, professional, and explains options well. I never am concerned about asking a question and always get a complete answer.

As usual - it was outstanding. All questions answered and future direction was clear.
