Southern Dermatology & Skin Cancer Center

I first went to this practice for a basic skin check. The doctor(who I later found out was subbing for another doctor in the practice) said I had a suspicious mole which she biopsied. She called me two days later and told me I had a malignant melenoma which needed to be removed immediately.Naturally I was terrified and made an appointment the next week. The doctor said it would be an office visit and I could drive myself and be back and work the next day and healed within a month. I decided to be safe and had a friend drive which was wise because the procedure took two hours and the local anesthetic made me dizzy. The next day I could barely sit up and when I called, the nurse said it was impossible for me to be having aftereffects from a local anesthetic and I should call my ""regular doctor"". These symptoms lasted 4 days and I got no help from anyone in the practice. The wound became infected and the antibiotic cream made it worse. I saw every doctor in the practice for months from complications from the surgery and bad reactions to medications. None of the doctors and nurses were willing to listen when I tried to tell them of my sensitivity to medications. They seem far more interested in pushing cosmetic surgery than in treating patients with skin diseases. When I described my ordeal to my internist, he was shocked at the treatment I received. Money is definitely the top priority of this practice. Everyone looks like they should be television doctors but patient treatment is seriously lacking. Pros: nice furniture Cons: doctors and nurses are inept and uncaring more

I was impressed by Dr. Challgren's professional demeanor and thoroughness. My visit was for an overall skin check just to be certain that I had no beginnings of a melanoma or anything else serious. He was very patient and glad to answer my questions. I also asked about mole and age spot removal, and he did not in any way try to ""sell"" me additional services. I truly admired is objectivity. Also, a small mistake was made with the filing of my insurance claim. When I called and brought it to Jan's attention, she was happy to make the corrections. This practice has won my loyalty. more

I saw Dr. Wilmouth about acne scars and I was very open to all options. He recommended the Smooth Beam laser and said it was the ""gold standard."" I was told that 2 treatments would be enough to see good results and visible improvement. Dr. Wilmouth was professional and knowledgeable, but I would not describe him as friendly in any way. He rarely smiled and actually only completed one of the treatments- the other one was done by a lady who he taught right then and there. I really value friendliness in any service and I feel like it can turn an okay experience into a much better one. I was disappointed that I was not told in advance that a doctor would not be performing all the treatments, especially my first visit. The reception staff were a let down too- they all seemed to have an ""I have better things to do than talk to you"" attitude. The biggest let down? The treatments did absolutely nothing for me. To be fair though, I do believe that everyone's skin is different- this type of treatment may work for others. Pros: Lots of services Cons: Unfriendly staff, long waits, poor communication more

I'm really surprised that someone had a bad experience at the Dermatology and Skin Cancer Center. Every experience I've ever had has been nothing but pleasant. All of the front office staff, Doctors, and Nurses that I've ever seen have been super friendly and helpful. I wonder if the reviewer ""daisy216"" was confused, and thought she was writing a review for ""Raleigh Dermatology,"" because she mentions ""Raleigh Dermatology"" instead of ""The Dermatology and Skin Cancer Center."" I really can't imagine anyone not having a great experience there. I've been to 3 other Dermatologists before seeing Dr. Wilmoth and wasn't real thrilled with the other Physicians. But I kept trying to find someone I would really like, and I'm so thankful that I went to see Dr. Wilmoth. He is absolutely wonderful. I've seen other Doctors there as well when he has been out of the office, and liked each and everyone of them. \r Pros: friendly staff and physician more

The medicine that was prescribed to me was not covered by my insurance company. I tried more than once to call and have a new prescription filled. The first time the woman told me doctor would get back to me. Several days went by. The second time I spoke with an employee that was very rude and actually laughed at me when I told her I didn't have my pharmacy # immediately available. She asked for my phone number and said she'd call back, but never did.\r \r There are friendlier, more professional environments one can take their business to. Pros: fast service Cons: helpfulness and respect from office staff more

Dr. Challgren did the Botox...I even went back, explaining how this had never happened before, and not only did he charge me again, the vial of Botox he used was dated (with a Sharpie) showing it was over a week old!!!! And it didn't work again, AND his hands smelled like he just ate a deli sandwhich and it made me nauseaus. Cons: inexperience more

I first learned about the practice through citysearch... and i'm glad that I did. At first I was skeptical because the first person to answer the phone didn't sound very friendly, but after that the service was excellent! Tracy and Susan were very informative and had great personalities as well. we were in and out in 30 minutes.... i don't EVER think i've gone through an appointment that fast!!! Pros: Fast and friendly service more

I have been a patient here since 1991, when it use to be Miller Dermatology. I wouldn't go to any other dermatologist. They treat my entire family, including my 5 year old. Great office staff, everyone has always been extremely helpful and nice. They can handle anything from cysts, mole/skin checks to laser hair removal. I have been seen by Dr. Wilmoth and Dr. Challgren and like them both. more

I went with high expectations based on the reviews from other clients but my experience was not very good. I don't think Dr. Willmoth has very good bed side maners. He did not seem personal at all. If your looking for quick in and out treatment then this place is for you if you want your doctor to actually act like they care about you and not like your just another number then I would not recomend this Dr. more

Laser Hair Removal in Raleigh gives you several options. I would have never thought that my dermatologist offered this serviced but recently during a visit i learned just that. I'm removing the hair off my legs and Dr. Wilmoth does incredible work. Their service is cost effective and it works! Pros: intelligent staff, multiple products, nice people more
