Surgical Dermatologists who are Physicians - Gurnee, 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 Kozeny failed to recognize a cancerous growth and did not remove enough of it: the report mentions cancer cells at the base and border of the sample. During surgery to remove a sebaceous cyst, he and his assistant did not wear face masks and keep talking close to the open incision even after I requested them not to talk there. Risk to my health is significantly higher because of these concerns."

"Have had several skin cancers in the past. Went to see Dr Quertermous due to possibility of another one. After a through exam, he took 3 biopsies 2 of which came back as cancer. HE arranged with a MOSE surgeon to follow up on these areas as it was apparent that biopsies had not removed all cancerous tissue. His Professional staff was excellent. Clerical staff is hard to get in touch with (voice mail) and are not timely in returning calls."

"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. "
