Leslie Poinsette's Online Review Report Card

Rushed in and out. Nurses more helpful. Removed something on my chest and as I was leaving said she think she misdiagnosed but charged me anyway . My husband also had an appt. She had no idea what was caused hives but told him cancer check was great . The hives and itch continued, so he saw another dr. Thank goodness because it turns out he has to have a cancer on his head removed. Really frightening lack of care.

Had a previous skin cancer removed in another state (2015). Had a spot that worried me so I went Feb 2020 to Dr. Poinsette. She said it wasn't a problem, prescribed some cream and told me to come back if it didn't heal. Went back about 2 months later because spot was still there. Was told it wasn't cancer or pre-cancerous. Spot started bleeding spring 2021. Went back and saw her physician assistant May 2021. PA biopsied the spot and I got a call that it was cancerous. Now i'm facing another MOHS surgery when that spot could have been removed a year earlier. Don't know why more care wasn't taken when I had previous skin cancer.

Dr.Poinsette is a most wonderful and experienced Dr. she has been treating me for many years. Never in a hurry, explains everything and always calls you after a serious surgery. I highly recommend her. The most caring Dr. !!

My sister went concerned about a mole on her scalp that her hairstylist found. This doctor sent her home because she couldn't find it. My aunt found it in two seconds. She went to another doctor who also found it in two seconds and had a biopsy it was pre-cancer I'm usually not one to go out of my way to write a review but this is series she's only 22. Now she's having surgery. Don't recommend this Doctor at all

Great, caring doctors & staff.

I have always been happy with Dr. Poinsett. She listens, is patient, caring, and pleasant. I do an annual body scan with her and she is very through and found a squamous cell spot on my arm that I never would have found myself. I feel very confident with her assessments and that is important with a dermatologist.

Appointment scheduling is great, prompt when arrival, hardly a wait and seeing the Dr. in hallway going into another patients room and then pretty much 5 min. after coming into mine and out the door in 5 min. it's an assembly line and I felt rushed, happened last appointment and that was a while ago so didn't remember what I didn't like till I went again and realized it was the same thing. Felt rushed, got in, got out as obviously did other patients. Didn't get to ask questions or discuss issues. Not what I want in a Dr., just my decision, not everyone is the same.

Very thorough, listens to her patients, doesn't rush through visit. Dr. Poinsette keeps photographic records and recently noticed a mole on my back had gotten larger and darker from comparing photos from the last visit. Mole was biopsied came back precancerous and then a wide excision was done in the center of my back. As in a previous review she also made incision on an angle. I'm a nurse sand understand why, which was if it was a straight cut my normal daily movements would have pulled incision apart. As I'm sure the same would have been if there was a horizontal cur in the eyebrow as in prior negative review. So she DOES take the into account how the wound will heal and what normal movements we make. Maybe before judging an incision they should have just asked her why she made the incision she did.

I have gone to Dr. Poinsette for several serious and non serious (cosmetic) procedures. She and her staff always take great care of me and make sure I understand exactly what is happening and what to do post-procedure. I even received a phone call from her personally a few days after my more serious appointments, and I’ve talked to friends who see her who she’s also called. I’ve recommended her to everyone I know. She’s the best in town!

The staff communications with patients is the poorest I have ever experienced. The physicians in this practice need to start taking a greater control over the staff attitudes with patient scheduling and medical issues.
