“Quick, kind, accurate”
I wish any provider, not just Sammy, could just slow down! But they have to cram so many appointments in! But even with that I felt like she checked out my whole body, biopsied the necessary areas with plenty of lidocaine and made a f/u treatment plan.

“Dr. Waitzman was just terrific.”
I was very nervous because, at age 72, I had never had a skin cancer check. Dr. Waitzman put me completely at ease and calmed me down. She excised a couple of moles and froze some other spots. Nothing she did was painful or even uncomfortable. Would highly recommend this practice and this doctor if you have any skin concerns. (Faith, her nurse, was also wonderful.) I'm sorry my fear stopped me from having my skin checked for so many years.
