Today was my first visit with Dr. Dank. The medical assistant was quite through and documented my entire history. I am a woman, a life long feminist, and sensitive to any treatment that could be considered less than equal to what would be offered to a man. Unlike these other negative reviews, I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and professional. He is very efficient, which I suppose could be taken as less caring by some. I came in to treat a basal cell cancer, and learned more from him about the proper treatment for this type of cancer than I learned from 3 other doctors who have treated me for these in the past. He referred me to another dermatologist for a different treatment which he thought would be more effective, which I greatly appreciated. I also inquired about a procedure that was recommended to me by another dermatologist, and he explained that in his experience the procedure isn't effective because it is too painful, and since it requires 3 treatments to get results, no one comes back for the other 2. Dr. Dank treated the precancerous spots he found, and flagged for me in advance which spots would be treated as cosmetic and not reimbursable. I plan to see him every 6 months for a skin check as I grew up in Florida with no sunscreen and have lots of skin damage from the sun, and 2 siblings on the East Coast who have had multiple melanomas and squamous cell carcinomas removed, undoubtedly saving their lives. Therefore, it is important for me to feel as if I have adequate care for my skin. I believe Dr. Dank will take good care of me and intend to see him as long as he is practicing here. Bellingham is fortunate to have someone with his experience. I feel lucky he was willing to take a new patient.
