Re: Photofacial Experience in San Francisco

[Guest guest]

I've been treating in Dr. Bitter's Los Gatos office for about 10

months. At the time of my initial consultation, I found the staff

friendly and accommodating and had no problems getting answers to

all my questions. I was also able to meet Dr. Bitter at that

consultation and he sat down with me for 10-15 minutes, even though

he was training other drs that day.

The woman who does the initial consultations is the office manager. I

do not think she has a medical background. It might be that, because

your case was so mild, they thought you were merely window shopping

and didn't want to invest too much time with you. Not to say that's

a good thing, but I'm sure they get more than their share of window

shoppers.

I had a severe case of rosacea before starting treatments in their

Los Gatos office. Throughout the course of my treatment, I have found

his office to be helpful, understanding and sensitive. Dr. Bitter

comes across as a compassionate individual and you get the sense he

really doesn't do this just for the money. He always talks about how

much these procedures are helping people.

I would be leery of any doctor who puts down one of his peers in

front of patients. This is extremely unprofessional. As far as not

being a dermatologist; he doesn't advertise himself as a clinical

dermatologist. He's a cosmetic dermatologist. Most patients don't

go to him to be placed on the routine metro_ and tetracycline

regimen. We go there to clean up what the traditional modalities

failed to prevent.

Dear ,

A very nice note re/Dr. Bitter, Sr. As I said, if I ever do decide that I

should have Photoderm, I will go to Dr. Bitter. I do still maintain however

that he was not helpful for me at my new stage in rosacea...I needed his

recommendations, not

simply his acquiescence.

Peace.
