Stephen Howard Mandy's Online Review Report Card

I have had only very good experiences with Dr. Green, and he is an excellent Mohs Surgeon also. Not a single scar can be seen in either of the two places on my face that he operated on. Also love his sense of humor. I highly recommend him.

Doctor Mandy and his staff make you feel very at ease, and answer all your question in a manner that you understand. The location of the office has public parking available.

What a terrible experience. The front desk staff are kind, and his PA is awesome and knowledgeable. But the Dr? Forget about coming here. His words were “I’m here to look and tell you what it is. I’m not your counselor.” But that’s where he’s wrong. I’m in the medical field, and it is up to every medical professional to COUNSEL and INFORM their patients of their diagnosis and next steps. Dr Mandy seemed all too concerned about getting back to eating breakfast than he was with my visit. Look elsewhere.

Worse doctor that I ever visited. Been dealing with a condition for the past 4 months for him to say “you don’t have anything” or “I’m underwhelmed about this”. He looks at you like you are wasting his valued time. I don’t know what his problem really is, if you’re tired of seeing people, just retire

The doctor is condescending, does not listen, assumes whatever he thinks without observing and clearly does not read medical file. I am scheduling an appointment with another dermatologist. Terrible.

The doctor was in and out in like 2 minutes and did not address all of my concerns. I am scheduling an appointment with another dermatologist. This appointment was a waste of time and money.

Dr. Mandy is a terrible doctor, and I deeply wish I had never gone to him. In short, he is a condescending egoist who not only lacks any modicum of bedside manner, but is a dinosaur grossly devoid of adequate and current knowledge of the medicine he practices. Initially, I selected Dr. Mandy primarily for convenience. I needed to undergo Accutane treatment, which requires monthly follow-ups; his office is located only 5 minutes away from my home. At our first visit, I found him curmudgeonly and rudely terse, even to his PA. I also found it a bit unsettling that he was completely ignorant of the fact that one should take Accutane with food (Accutane is a lipophilic drug best absorbed when taken with a high-fat meal; in fact, it is well known that failure to do so may lead to inadequate bioavailability/drug absorption levels). Despite these red flags, I stuck with him out of convenience. I just wanted to start Accutane without having to drive a far distance on a monthly basis. Over the next several months, I continued to see Dr. Mandy every month for my Accutane treatment. His rudeness continued, with a healthy dose of condescension, to boot; think trying to ask a question and, before even completing your thought, being abruptly cut off and replied to with utter annoyance. However, I needed the Accutane, so I kept seeing Dr. Mandy. Towards the end of my Accutane course, I discussed scar treatment options with Dr. Mandy. He recommended silicon injections and laser resurfacing. I very, very unfortunately heeded his advice and underwent the silicon injections. All he told me about them was that they were effective (wrong), safe (wrong), and permanent. I was a bit concerned when he told me that they were permanent, but he assured me that they were completely safe and would be administered as "microdroplets." The horrifying thing is what he failed to tell me - that even years later, silicon can trigger a disfiguring inflammatory response in which the body forms granulomas. I've since learned this while consulting with other (competent) dermatologists to undergo subcision for my acne scars, which IS actually effective. However, I've been advised that there is a risk I will develop disfiguring granulomas because of the silicon (which could also happen anyway, even without the subcision). So, now I'm stuck with the silicon, the scars, and possibly disfiguring granulomas down the road. Lastly, and perhaps most alarming, Dr. Mandy wanted to surgically resect a giant tumor from my back in his office with local anesthesia. I had developed what appeared to be a lipoma that was about the size of a grapefruit. True to his know-it-all personality, he scoffed at me when I asked whether I should have a CT scan or other imaging performed first to rule out something more nefarious. Thank God I didn't go through with him doing the procedure. I ended up seeing an oncological surgeon, who was concerned enough that my lesion could have been CANCER that she ordered an ultrasound and an MRI before surgery. My surgery was under general anesthesia and left me with hanging surgical drains. When I told her that Dr. Mandy had wanted to remove it in his office, she was floored. She said I would have ended up in the hospital mid-procedure, and that it would have been a total "botch-job" that would have likely caused the cancer (liposarcoma) to spread like wildfire. My urgent advice is to avoid Dr. Mandy at all costs.

Dr Mandy is wonderful!

Dr Green has cleared up all of my peculiar skin issues. He is a thorough mole checker and actively listens to your skin concerns. I would highly recommend him.

Pompous, Rude, Arrogant, Demeaning and expensive . Talked about his ‘proper medical education’ and DOES NOT LISTEN.
