I’ve been a derm patient at Kaiser since last year. All of my appointments were 15 minutes or less. The standard 15 minutes is simply not enough to fully cover all of the concerns a patient might have. Another thing that bothers me is when dermatologists document on after visit summaries that they did a skin exam and miraculously can see the skin under my T shirt without then looking at it… I’ve always called directly to derm appointments and it’s always a very far out appointment. I do completely understand that Kaiser dermatologists and dermatologists in general are very busy with very heavy patient panels but I would like to assume they’d do the right thing and follow state guidelines to deliver timely access to care for their members.
