This visit was a follow up to my CO2 Fraxel procedure. I was concerned that the results would not meet my expectations since I did not have the symptoms that many patients have. Dr. Engelman assured me that healing was taking pShow morelace but the results take time and it was still too early to judge. She explained that I was having pain issues at the time of the procedure so she could not be as aggressive as she had wanted to be. She said she wanted me to be happy with the results, so she would repeat the procedure free of charge. However, she will give me an oral pain pill in addition to the numbing cream so I could tolerate the laser. I think she is a truly caring physician who wants her patients to be satisfied with their treatment and is willing to work with them to achieve satisfactory results.i
Dr. Dendy has been my dermatologist for over six years. She is by far the best dermatologist I have ever worked with and has consistently delivered in areas other dermatologists have been unable to. Regardless of what my visit relShow moreates to, I have full trust that she will listen to my concerns and resolve the issue. She genuinely cares for her patients (amazing bedside manner) and is always willing to spend additional time to answer any and all questions related to dermatology. As a leader in her field, she combines medicine and innovation seamlessly to drive the best possible outcomes for her patients. Her passion for her field is evident in every interaction patients have with her. I've already recommended friends and co-workers to see Dr. Dendy and cannot say enough amazing things about her. She's brilliant and I'm so thankful to have found her.
