I realize new patients have to wait longer when getting an appointment....my daughter waited six weeks. The exam was fast and expensive. The total for my daughters exam with the doctor (5 mins), nurse (5 mins) cost $325.00 not covered by insurance. The medication Dr. Arasi prescribed for a 30 day prescription was $235.00 for 30 pills. The topical cream for her face cost $178.00...a big shocker when picking up her prescriptions at the drug store!
The next month she went on a cheaper medication which the doctor's office said it should work just as well. The medication worked for about 2 months and her acne became worse. Called to make another appointment stating her acne "is the the worst it's ever been even being on the medication." The receptionist said it would be 4 1/2 weeks before he can see her again. She said she would refer us to another doctor about 15 miles away that Dr. Abasi is referring all his acne patients to another doctor. I feel this doctor doesn't really care for his patients and the medical staff on the phone attitude gave me a "brush off" attitude. I felt when she had no care or concern in her tone and discarded my daughter as a patient. They left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I felt I was just another number, not a patient and blew me off to another doctor without any regrets.
