Andrew Racette's Online Review Report Card

Lauren Weidman at the Tempe AZ location is the most unfriendly medical person I've ever met. She has zero cares for another human or at least her patients. I would advise everyone to avoid this medical assistant and go to another office.

Beware!!! Dr. Racette is the worst provider I have ever seen. He lacks bedside manner and left me with a horrendous scar after removing a small cyst (does not know how to place sutures). If you care about your skin do not see this doctor!

Andrew Racette put me at ease when recently I had to have what is called Mohs Surgery on my nose, after a cyst that was removed was found to be Basal Cell Carcinoma. I was concerned that the surgery would be disfiguring but Dr. Racette only removed a very small amount of tissue, which is healing nicely.

After researching local dermatologists, I’m so glad I chose Dr. Racette. Love that I could schedule an appointment online! Skin cancer runs in my family and not only did he answer all my questions, he was kind and compassionate. Could not recommend more!

I went to Dr. Racette several years ago when I had invasive melanoma and was self paying and he was terrific. My recent experiences were terrible. It seems that patients are seen as $$ now. On all 3 recent visits, he could hardly wait to get out of the room. Last one was the worst. He seem irritated when he walked in and became even more impatient, short-tempered and condescending when I had taken up more than 15 min (Apparently he was watching the clock). Said he had a lot of other patients to take care of, even though I had asked in advance for 30 minutes because my pain level and symptoms were so debilitating and I had many questions. Heck, I wasn’t informed that my condition was chronic (and incurable) or how long medications would begin to be effective nor how to handle symptoms and side effects while waiting. I had done a great deal of research. Questions or explanations were nonexistent. Compassion, which he once had in abundance, was a thing of the past. I noticed most of the reviews are several years old so may not be as relevant now. I recommended him to hundreds of people, including dozens of family members. First time and hopefully the last time, I will have ever left a Dr.’s office in tears. Go somewhere else if you want a physician who meets the requirements for a reasonable standard of skill and care

Was excellent several years ago when I had invasive melanoma. What a difference. Failed to meet a reasonable standard of skill and care. Exam for any problems was perfunctory, missed previous mole of concern and I had to point out everything I had seen. Missed several spots on face (site of previous invasive melanoma) and I pointed out the ones I had seen. I had to mark others including 2 he burned with a pen on second visit. Impatient with poor communication, insufficient information, curt and arrogant, especially on most recent visit because the medication guide said to see Dr. for several of the side effects I had. At least I found out how long it would probably take for the medication to take effect - 8-10 weeks, but no help for debilitating symptoms except to be patient. Wow! Extreme pain, worsening of symptoms, insomnia, tiredness, nausea,etc for another 6-8 weeks. He was angry that I had taken more than 15 minutes (must have been watching the clock) even though I asked for 30 when scheduled. He had so many other patients waiting. 4 offices must generate a lot of overhead and income. Go see another dermatologist. This guy is a malpractice lawsuit waiting to happen.

Would not recommend this person( is he a doctor?) to MY WORST ENEMY. Horrible bedside manner, if I was able to see him for a minute it was with his back turned not hearing me. His NP was worse. Fakest demeanor and again didn’t hear a word I said. Do no go! So many other options!

I have seen Dr Racette on 3-4 occassions. Two times with insurance and the other two without and the cost was inexpensive! I appreciate the services provided because it was not about my money or seeing me as a number. As some providers see you as. Two many patients, do not make the time to build rapport with their patients. This is not Dr Racette. Also, gave samples when was not able to make a purchase for medicine on one of my visit. Dr Racette is caring, knowledgeable, and very patient! I was comfortable because he listened to me, explained the diag, details and treatment for dermitatis I had in palm of hand. This was about 5 years ago since I have seen him. Now, I have another issue and thanks to Google I was able to locate him. Thank you again Dr Racette and staff for the services you provided!

I just had a punch biopsy performed by Dr. Racette and his assistant, Mike, about an hour ago. Dr. Racette is extremely professional and friendly; also, the procedure was relatively painless, and fast! Omni Dermatology's office is incredibly clean and the environment is very comfortable. Mike and the office staff were nothing but friendly as well. Highly recommended!

After seeing 3 other dermatologists, due to 18 months of my face having skin lesions, he was able to diagnose and treat the problem. He is overbooked, the waiting room is always full; he does not have time to sit and chat you up, he is there to clinically figure out what your issue is and get it taken care of, period. I wasn't looking for a new best friend, I wanted to be able to have my issue remedied. Very pleased so far with my results. He is very thorough.
