Dermatologists - Costa Mesa, CA

"Just for people's information. My bill was over $1000 for a 15 minute visit. I was with the nurse for 5 minutes; long enough to give me an apron and tell me to take my cloths off. I came in for an annual skin cancer check. Dr. was very average in his services. He asked me where he should look for any questionable skin blemishes. He's the doctor, who's getting paid $4000/hr why is he asking me. For the amount of money he charges, he should be looking me over like monkey's search through other monkey's fur. I asked about something on my forehead and so used some liquid nitrogen to remove it; was not a cancer. Anyway, the point is that people are not aware of having to pay so much for such very average service. I had the very same service a couple years ago for less than half. FYI"
