This is an amazing company. It's a wait for an appointment because they are so booked. I can tell you this, the beginning of last year I had a spot on my ear, now I have insurance and pay a lot for it, so I only use it when I need it, so I am from Pensacola area and went to a skin specialist there bc I had a spot on my ear. Well the doc ask how long it has been there and I said 2 weeks. She said, it's a bug bite, I said a bug bite doesn't itch for two weeks, she rolled her eyes and said we will keep an eye on it. She booked an appointment for 6 months out. Well of course I didn't go back. so now I am with the same company blue Cross blue shield insurance and I moved to Alabama Madison Alabama and the spot is still on my ear ,the first time I went to the doctor it was I believe in April of last year and I booked an appointment this year for Tennessee River dermatology here in Athens Alabama and I told the PA that the spot has been on my ear now for a while and she said it's scar tissue I said it can't be scar tissue I haven't done anything to my ear. So she said Melinda it's scar tissue I said we'll doc what could have happened to my ear that it would have been scar tissue? she also rolled her eyes and said well Melinda it's your ear what did you do to your ear. So I said I would really like to have a biopsy done and once again I got the rolls eyes and her and the assistant both said no news is good news if you don't hear from us everything is fine. So 6 weeks goes by and my ear starts itching again so I called back the Tennessee River dermatologist who took the biopsy and oh get this I got the runaround sent to the lab sent back to the doctor's office by phone of course send back to the lab sent back at the doctor's office before they actually said I have squimous carcinoma on my ear. I called Southeastern dermatology and told them what was going on and they immediately got me in I am now scheduled for MOHS AND THEY ARE TAKING GREAT CARE OF ME. So under the circumstances this is a very caring dermatology doctor group. I would recommend them to anybody.
