MICHAEL E BIGBY

Professional, to the point, and understood my issue well

He is a brilliant diagnostician.

Dr. Bigly is a thorough kind physician. he is a little shy at first, but gives thought to the care he provides. he is current with all recent and older studies. he explains a course of treatment thoroughly.he has a dry sense of humor and many interests.

Dr Bigby accurately diagnosed a condition that had been misdiagnosed, with traumatic and harrowing repercussions in my life. He is professional, congenial, caring, superbly trained and obviously in possession of a brilliant medical mind. He works quickly, not because he doesn't care, but because he's bright, well trained, and accurate.I find these reviews to be partially misleading and would entrust Dr Bigby with any necessary diagnosis.He does have an engaging sense if humor, but he is not a time-waster.You want to schmooze------call your BFF on your cell. You want an excellent dermatologist, consult this doctor.

Dr Bigby takes appointments on Martha's Vineyard, the only dermatologist who does. I'm seeking one off-island now because even though I have great faith in his abilities, and am willing to overlook his rather brusque manner, appointments cannot be made earlier that four months out, and a typical wait after the scheduled time, regardless of how early in the morning, is rarely less than forty minutes. I've twice had to leave and re-schedule, which is, as said, months later.

Competent, but unengaging "bedside" manner.

My PCP insists that I get a mole check every 1-2 years because of prior abnormal mole history. He says that's a ridiculous reason to come. I mention facial acne, what other meds I've been using, etc and he gets up to leave the room without saying anything. He comes back with a picture printout of suggested otc products (which I had just said I tried), and after I declined he tells me he's going to send something to my pharmacy. Then he left to see the next patient without any further direction.

Waited over an hour for 9 am appointment. Apparently the patient's time isn't important.

Bad. So so so so bad.

Hmmm... it's very difficult to explain my experience with Dr. Bigby. It was super strange. I've never felt so rushed and "uncared" for during a doctor visit before. Yes, sometimes you feel like a doctor is all about business (or about getting your money and letting you go on your way), but with Dr. Bigby it was more than that. I felt like he could care less about my issue and like I was wasting his time. I'm sure he's an expert in his field and can make quick assessments of someone's condition, but he would do himself and his patients a lot of good if he improved upon his bedside manners.I don't like to judge people on first impressions, maybe he was having a bad day... I'm not about to find out. Needless to say, I now frequent a different dermatologist...
