I thought I had bad skin from a lot of acne scars, and decided to finally do something about it since I heard a lot about what are called power peels. I went to see a dermatologist and he refused to do it! I thought this was great of him. He said in my case, my acne scars were not that bad and would not benefit from a power peel, and to save my money and not do it. Instead prescribed me some Retin A stuff.
He was kinda gruff in the beginning, but in the end, he turned out to be really responsible, really good doctor. I recommend him, even if his consultation fees were high ($100)
Additional thoughts:
I would have given him a 5 if his bedside manner was better and if the consultation fees were not so high, but I guess that is the price you have to pay for Beverly hills real estate. But if I had the peel it would have cost around per peel. The good thing is that he was very appropriate and always had his assistant in the room.
