Surgical Dermatologist - Melbourne, FL

"We have used Sarah's services for 4+ years with no complaints. In one appointment, I had lesions removed from my face (cosmetic) and I understood the out of pocket cost through my insurance. This was a planned cosmetic procedure that is a quick zap by the dermatologist. On 3/6/23, my annual appointment was concluding with no issues. At the last minute Sarah asked if I wanted to take care of some spot around my temple. Sensing that this was just a friendly ask, I said yes. Very quickly she zapped the spot and that was it. No blood, no pain. This procedure cost $135 ($100 after insurance). My problem is the way she went about it. As I said above, I have had multiple skin tags cosmetically removed from my face and I will gladly pay for that. But to sneak in a quick zap at the end of the appointment just felt wrong. I felt that this was unnecessary and had I known about the cost I would have quickly said no. In conclusion, I paid the bill and cancelled our next annual appointment with Health First Dermatology. We will not be recommending this service and will find another provider. "
