I waited an hour and a half for my appointment and everyone was extremely rude and acted as though waiting that long was acceptable.

I have been a patient for several years seeing various providers there only a few times. Today I saw Dr Cassel for the first time for a new condition that seems to be getting worse. She provided me with a new medication and a plan for it if it does not improve. Dr. Cassel was extremely personable and made me feel comfortable. I did have to wait for 30 minutes, but I'm happy to wait for a caring and positive provider.

I was scheduled for laser vein treatment with Dr.Cassel. The office manager came in prior to Dr.Cassel for me to sign for consent of treatment. I mentioned to her that I had a few questions for Dr.Cassel prior to the procedure since I was not given any pre or post treatment instructions. Long story short, Dr.Cassel came in 50 mins after my scheduled appt. and later told me she chose to see her other patients first because I sounded like a difficult patient according to her office manager. I told her I was concerned because I did not have the appropriate compression stockings with me since

I had a bill that was being sent to my OLD address. I was unaware of this and it went to collections. I called brownstone to schedule an appointment and they said I am NEVER allowed back due to that bill not being paid on time, despite me offering to pay it on the spot and after confirming with them they were sending it to the wrong address. Apparently this is policy with them. I understand wanting bills paid, but to actually be sending it to the WRONG address ..... Seems to me like they care a little less about the patients, and all about the money.

I had a great experience at Brownstone Dermatology. The staff were competent, friendly and helpful. The decor had a neat historical feel. The reception area was comfortable and well laid out. Thank you to the staff and providers. Its nice to see an individual office with a personality of its own, not a corporate conglomerate.
