This review is for Dr. Aranda. She is my dermatologist, but I wish she were my GP, my OB, and any other doctor specialty you could think of. Came to her for a second opinion for some scalp itchiness and pain. My other dermatologist had looked at me for 20 seconds and thrown some steroids at me. Dr. Aranda spent almost TWO HOURS with me that first office visit. She helped me negotiate/navigate payment because I told her my insurance was so bad and my copay astronomical. She didn't try to guess and use trial and error medication like the first doctor, but actually did a biopsy straight away and found out that I had a severe case of ringworm. Put me on oral medication. Through medication reorder, possible side effects, and a severe case of dandruff brought on by the steroids/ringworm, Dr. Aranda called me back HERSELF every single time. I have never had a doctor who does that. Made me feel like a really respected and cared for patient. What an amazing doctor - if you live in Austin, she may be one of the best you can find! More
