She gave me a brochure in December about a condition in my genital area which flares up. It was from the Dermatologist Association but she suggested I see a gynecologist despite what the brochure said. She explained that she does not treat the condition and had no stirrups on the exam table (which I did not think was needed). She could not suggest another dermatologist in the CCF system!!

She rushed through my skin exam and questions. I felt like she wasn't actually looking at all my areas of concern.
Reviewed on Feb 28, 2024
Dr. Vlastaris seemed very rushed in both her derm body exam and in general. She made her diagnosis based on the problem areas I showed her and she absolutely provided information on her planned treatment and its likely effects. There was some wait time (a couple days) for a prescription to get to the pharmacy and for a return reply to a follow up question I asked. I'm sure she's a fine doctor but with perhaps too many patients on her schedule.
