Dermatologist - Barrington, IL

"I should have listened to my instincts when the staff on the phone seemed annoyed to be providing me service. I quickly knew who it was that I spoke to when I encountered her at the office. A different receptionist acted annoyed to even greet me at the door. I have worked in the service industry a long time and just don't have the patience for unfriendliness. I even had a hard time finding which door was theirs in the array of buildings within the parking lot. I had received about half a dozen confirmations, in text, email, call prior to my appointment!! It was too much! The dr was very short with me during the appt, came across as judgmental when I said I prefer holistic treatment options first. He wanted to remove some moles on me at my first ever visit, which I was NOT prepared for. Handed me a bunch of reading materials and I was in and out in 15 minutes! I wasn't greeted by the staff nor the dr as a new patient or a thank you for my business. I had selected this dr based on the massive amount of good reviews. Needless to say, I will be seeking a 2nd opinion."

"It was alright experience, just wanted a simple skin sample and personalized skincare advice. He treated my warts, he asked why should I get skin sample because there’s nothing seems to be wrong with my skin. I felt confused because aren’t dermatologists supposed "

"Dr. Sheehan was really calm and made me feel comforted before my excision. She was very professional and kind. She asked me a ton of personal questions (which helped take my mind off the cutting/suturing) and was genuinely interested in my personal life. My procedure was really quick but she was very personable in that short time which I really appreciated. "

"I had seen Dr Shah a few times. The first time I saw her she advised a whole skin care regime that included many non-prescription products that I paid for at the office. I then realized these were over the counter and easily available for half the price of what I paid for. More concerning to me was the fact that her office seems to be a side job and not her main concern. They are open two days a week with one floating Friday per month. Prescription refills took days and I had to call multiple times and speak with someone live before they would approve the refill. When they wrote prescriptions they wouldn't allow any refills so I had to call each time. "
