Dermatologists - Tucson, AZ

"For many years I went to a certain dermatologist in Tucson and he would always freeze pre-cancer spots from my face and arms. He retired, so I had to find another dermatologist. The group I chose was composed of surgeons. They love to do surgery and I never saw results of biopsies. After two surgeries in two visits, I decided to find another dermatologist. I'm glad I found Dr. Safu. He does not do surgery unless it is needed, and will freeze necessary spots. When a biopsy is required, you see the results. In fact, I have not had a surgery since dropping my previous dermatologist group. I strongly recommend Dr. Safu. He is kind, considerate and patient."

"I got to the office 10 minutes before my appointment time at 8:20am, filled out all my paperwork and it took me way too long to see my provider Dr. Glaesser. I purposely scheduled their first morning opening so It was shocking how late and standoffish Dr. Glaesser was. I had to ask the front desk to check on my provider and they responded that it was "only 8:28 am" as if I was wrong to ask for an update even after my scheduled appointment time passed and I was still in the lobby. I finally got called to the back just to wait another 10 minutes in the back office. It's ridiculous that if a patient is 10-20 minutes late then we get charged a fee and cant see the provider anymore but if a provider is 20+minutes late then its not a big deal. It's frustrating because I planned this appointment in the morning so I could make it to work on time. The double standards are ridiculous, if my appointment time is 8:20am but not seeing my provider until 20 minutes after my start time is not good client service. The nurse that took me back didn’t even really talk to me and left me alone in the room to the point where I was about to ask someone to check on my provider again! After my provider came in at 8:40am the appointment ended in less than 5-10 minutes. Dr. Glaesser was late, cold, and took less than a few minutes to tell me she couldn't help, so I wasted 20 minutes waiting for a provider that turned me away almost instantly. It would be nice if the office/providers respected patients time the same way we are expected to show up early. My time with Dr. Glaesser took less than 10 minutes which would have been great other then the fact that my provider was over 20 minutes late to her first morning appointment. Dr. Glaesser and her team do not think make punctuality a priority. "
