Dr Filomena Scola's Online Review Report Card

I was in and out within 40 mins as a new patient, if even that. She listened to me and has a very good bed side manner. Her and her assistant were very efficient and made me feel very comfortable. Thanks for taking such great care of me!!!!!??

On March 21st 2022 I went to Dr. Filomeno Scola and she informed me about two questionable moles that should be removed. I had to follow up with a different dermatologist that does plastic surgery to get the mole/sections on my body removed as they were larger and needed stitches. He said I also had another mole on my back that my original doctor (Dr. Scola) should have told me about and should have been removed. When I asked him if he could remove it, he told me that I had to go back to my original doctor for that.I made a second appointment and went back to Dr. Scola. I asked her about the mole and she said that she had noted in my file that I had an additional questionable mole or two (which was not verbalized to me at my first appointment) and that she can remove them if I want for peace of mind.She removed them and one mole came back as atypical melanocytes. That means more bad cells are there than good and some refer to it as pre-cancer. When I asked the person who called me why didn't Dr. Scola originally tell me about this mole, she put me on hold, talked to Dr. Scola and then told me that the doctor noted this originally in my file to monitor. But she never verbalized this to me and never told me to follow up. When I said this she said it is slow growing and in a year when I would have came back they probably would have removed it then... which means that that gave me a year more for bad cells to spread and possibly leading to cancer. Additionally, what if I didn't come in a year? This was my first appointment in a while and I wasn't instructed to make a follow-up appointment. She also had a defensive tone in her voice and said "She's been doing this over 30 years, she knows what she is doing" But why did I have to go to another dermatologist for him to tell me about this mole.Now I have to make another appointment to go back to the other dermatologist/plastic surgeon to have more of the section of my back removed for the pre-cancer. That is now 4 appointments total, as I was not originally relayed the proper information and the possibility of cancer forming

Dr. Scola is awesome! My skin looks better already! I would recommend her to all of my family and friends.

Dr. Scola is a phenomenal dermatologist! Our entire family was out of state on vacation and my son developed a serious dermatology issue. Dr. Scola quickly diagnosed the condition and provided treatment. By the end of the vacation, he was 100% better! Highly recommend!!!

Awesome. Really great doctor. Easy to speak to about anything. Definitely coming back. Office staff really awesome to deal with as well. Highly recommend dr scola and the team.

Dr. Scola is incredibly knowledgeable about even the most obscure dermatological conditions that my family and I have had, and how to effectively treat them. She has an amazing way with her patients. Her office is well run and efficient. Her staff is very friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Scola!

Dr. Sola is a caring and knowledgeable physician. I came with a few issues and she took time to patiently address each one. I have felt rushed by other dermatologists in the past. She is kind and keen and I will definitely return to her for both regular skin checks and specific concerns. Awesome Doc!

Dr. Scola is an extremely caring and knowledgeable physician. I did not feel rushed in her office. I had more than a few "issues" for which I wanted to be seen, and she took time with each one. Her thoroughness and patience are unlike other experiences I have had with dermatologists who seem to prefer that the visit be more targeted and brief.

Dr. Scola is a wonderful and knowledgeable physician. Her staff is efficient, the wait time was minimal and she is keen, patient and kind. She diagnosed a few concerns I came in with, and followed up to make sure I was progressing well after some medication.

Dr Scola has always taking excellent care of my extended family's skin health issues. Her friendly and efficient office staff makes appointments and visits easy.
