When I realized my hair was falling out I called Tatjana to ask her about her dermatologist. She said she’s good but her bedside manner is lacking. I ended up seeing her associate who handles hair loss. His bedside manner – nonexistent.
Now here’s the deal – my hair is falling out. Wouldn’t you be concerned? Thankfully, my hair stylist Scott had prepared me by telling me everything I needed to know. And I went online and researched the rest. Possible causes – thyroid, anemia, and definitely stress. I go to the appointment, resident takes my info, doctor comes in and says he is going to inject my scalp all over, it may help, it may not, and then I need to come back in six weeks and do it again. I say do I need to test my thyroid – he says sure and gives me a lab order. He says he is going to prescribe Rogaine and I say won’t that cause facial hair – the resident said it could happen but it doesn’t happen much. Then doctor says I can use Lastisse but it’s expensive.
I leave there a little bewildered and pick up my prescriptions. The Lastisse says to put drops in my eyes and that it might turn my blue eyes brown. So I don’t do that. I go online and do more research and here’s the deal, I call the resident and doctor back to ask about the application and no one calls me back.
SO here’s what I think – what does good mean? This dermatologist is good? What about the fact that no one counseled me on it being stress (except my hair stylist), no one counseled me on Lastisse and its side effects, no one even called me back.
I must say – they suck – and I am finding a new dermatologist one who is not only good but actually is human.
