About Me
As a dermatologist, I believe in actively involving my patients in their care and considering their unique needs when formulating their individual care plan. I’m passionate about providing the highest level of care to my patients to improve their overall well-being and prevent any long-term consequences of their skin condition. Detecting skin cancer early is very important, so I recommend regular skin cancer screenings to all of my patients.
My favorite part about working at Ohio State Wexner Medical Center is the opportunity to collaborate with brilliant colleagues.

Jeffrey was great but he seemed super busy and I felt I was burdening him wiht questions regarding worrying marks on my skin that I was freaked out by. He diagnosed it quickly which is nice, but it seemed rushed and I still am not quite sure what I am supposed to do with my prescription

The provider did not check back to affirm that the wound was properly dressed.

thorough in asking answering questions
I was surprised he did not thoroughly check for abnormal skin condition, just treated the ones I mentioned, they took a picture of my back with 2 circled, I asked nurse to take a picture with my phone of the ones i was to check. at home I noticed several discolored areas on my back that the doctor never mentioned. Just thought he would check more closely than he did.
