Great experience, she took a thorough look at my whole body, measured a couple of larger freckles and moles and recommended I return in 6 months to re-measure and make sure the spots aren't growing. We discussed my options around removing a mole on my neck and she was very informative with no pressure. I expressed a desire to learn more about skin care treatments to prevent signs of aging.
We talked briefly about some options and she recommended I come in to see Rachel, their aesthetician, for a complimentary visit, where I could learn more about products and procedures. This was fine by me because that is exactly what I wanted. My second visit was scheduled a week later. Rachel was right on time and very friendly. She spent close to an hour with me and was very informative. She wanted to know my concerns and goals and tailored her advice to those.
She did not push products or services, and was very open with pricing. I loved my time with her. I purchased several products, which I had intended to do, that's why I came in. I was happy to hear that the soap and sunscreen I buy at Target are good products yay for saving money there. Couple random notes: Yes, the staff is pretty and glamorous. I would hope so, as they are there to talk about having nice skin.
They are also friendly. You do have to pay to park in the garage, this did not faze me. On the topic of Retin-A: yes, you can get a prescription for it. No, your insurance will not pay for it and it will cost you full price, not your prescription co-pay. Insurance will typically only pay for for Retin-A under 2 conditions: 1- you are under 18 and treating acne or 2- you have a Diagnosable skin condition such as Rosacea, and can show that you have tried other, less expensive medications to treat it.
There is no way any insurance company is going to pony up the cash to pay for Retin-A for cosmetic reasons. Trust me, I've been down that road many times. So buying a retinol product from the office does not end up being more expensive that Retin-A. Also, Retin-A has a high concentration of retinol and it is better to start at a lower concentration to see how your skin tolerates it and work your way up.
Great experience, I am planning to go back. Renee Snyder isn't cold. She's awesome. She has a dry sense of humor that I find hilarious. She puts you at ease with her professional, calm demeanor.
The biopsy of my moles barely registered, pain-wise, and it was over quickly. She's very upfront and direct about medical information, and was patient with the questions I had. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Oh, and if you are not a high-maintenance, high-style kinda gal, don't be put off by the fancy office and pretty office staff I looked in the mirror and saw a mole that looked exactly like all the ones that I'd seen in brochures of what moles aren't supposed to look like.
I researched dermatologists, called Dr. Snyder's office, and set up an appointment as soon as possible. Snyder did a full skin check, confirming that the mole was really funky looking, and did a punch biopsy straight away. Just under a week later I got a phone call from her confirming that it was a melanoma, and we made an appointment for a wide local excision.
I had another atypical mole excised a few months post-melanoma surgery, and since then I've had regular skin checks and several biopsies. Snyder really knows her stuff, and her professional demeanor and ability to answer all of my questions in a straightforward way puts me at ease. She's friendly and nice, but she's more focused on the task at hand than trying to be my bestie.
The office is clean and bright and the staff are super nice. Parking isn't free and there's a bit of a dipsydoodle to get from the parking garage down to the lobby to go up to the 4th floor, but I'm really happy to have found a doctor I can trust. Common wart symptoms include bumps that are tender, grainy at the top, and fleshy feeling. The area with the wart can be rough to the touch. Genital warts can also be present around the anus. Genital warts may appear as single growths or clump together and can occasionally cause genital itching, but are generally without pain or other symptoms.
Signs such as pain, bleeding, nodules under the skin or urinary discharge are associated with other conditions that need to be evaluated immediately. HPV is a sexually transmitted disease and the condition can be transmitted whether warts are present or not.
HPV infection in women has been associated with cervical cancer and men with genital warts should inform their partners and assure that they are recieving regular gynecologic examinations.
There can be other abnormal growths on the genitals and all should be seen by a medical professional to exclude cancer. Diagnosis of Genital Warts can be made with a physical examination but confirmation may require a biopsy of one of the growths.
They may appear as raised, reddish bumps on the genitals, anus or surrounding skin and are often described as being cauliflower-like. Penile or vaginal cancer is also associated with HPV infections and some patients who think they have genital warts will actually have penile cancer.
A vaccine against high-risk HPV types is now available but is only effective in non-infected individuals. Genital warts can be treatment by various means to destroy the wart. In many patients freezing of the wart with Liquid Nitrogen is used. Other patients may have a chemical solution applied to the wart, or be given Immiquimod cream that stimulates the patients immune system to fight off the virus. In stubborn cases, laser therapy and surgical removal can be considered.
Treatment often needs to be repeated a number of times. Tenderness will frequently develop after treatment. Swelling may also occur, as the genital skin is quite thin. The swelling will settle down in a few days.
