Dermatologist: my dermatologist went on maternity leave, and my originally scheduled appt was when I was sick and could not make it.I had forgotten to reschedule, finding out that I could not see ANY dermatologist until next year.With a history of basal cell carcinoma with myself AND my two sisters, my dad with an undiagnosable skin rash (gets UV treatments), and my brother a survivor of Stage 4 melanoma, I could not wait.The front desk receptionist immediately got up and arranged with the scheduler to make sure I was seen THE NEXT DAY.Had 4 confirmed BCC areas on my back from this impromptu appt.THANK YOU for taking the time and effort in making sure I was seen. There are not enough thank yous!
