I went to Dr. Eckman to have some moles assessed, removed, and biopsied. Dr. Eckman doesnt even do the work, his horrible PA Cindy does it. He walks in and out of the room, has no bedside manner and has other ppl do the work. She first told me that the moles from a medical standpoint were not of concern. Only because I am a nursing student and know better and was persistent did they even do the biopsy, which turned out to be melanoma! Then when i went in to have the excisions done and removed deeper, the PA marked the wrong mole! When Dr. Eckman came in to check on things and only say hello, he questioned her, the 3 of them argued back and forth, and he scolded her ALL IN FRONT OF ME! They called in my fiance and mother to ask them both, which spot they thought was the right one!? Isnt that their job, this is cancer we are dealing with and they need to remove the right one! After the 1st excision I had another appt already made to remove the second one on the same day, which Eckman kept commenting about saying we only have time for one..but i had the appt time already allotted for both. They kept me waiting completely uncovered on the table for 30 minutes only to come back in and say they couldnt do the second exision because they were behind and didnt have time. They will only do as little as possible so they can get you to keep coming in for more appointments and charge your insurance company for several visits. I have 6 other moles to be removed and although it take approximately 3 minutes total to do each, they will only do 2 at a time. I am a nursing student and have been in every hospital in the Baltimore area and this was by far the WORST experience I have ever had. GO ANYWHERE OTHER THAN HERE!
Pros: Quick for appointment, but thats only bc theyre horrible
Cons: Everything
