[redacted] the doctor didn't even look at my skin issue at all. He asked two basic questions then proceeded in spending the whole time on his computer, [redacted] He was not friendly, or helpful when I told him I was allergic to most oral antibiotics he basically said go figure that out with an allergist instead of trying to help in another way. [redacted] I reminded him "but there is a rash on my face!" He didn't seem to care at all. He then left. [redacted]

He's amazing! I'm so glad I get to have this doctor as a provider because he has done so well. My face is clear (and now has been for years) because of him! Now when I tell people I have acne, they don't believe me because of how well treatment has been going! And he also provides options when I am nervous about having something like bloodwork done, which I really appreciate because that's already nerve wracking to start with, and it makes me much more comfortable.

I went to go see Dr. Semenov, and it was for my hypopigmentation, my scalp, possible scalp psoriasis, and a cyst, and he did not look at my head at all. I don't even know if I actually have scalp psoriasis. Nothing's actually been diagnosed. For the hyperpigmentation, it's kind of clearing up and I've been doing it on my own. So he didn't really say much about that. He said whatever I use for my head, I should use for my face. And then he only looked at the cysts. He didn't even touch to see if it was tender, if it was hard, if it was soft [redacted]
