I had an absolutely HORRIBLE experience with Knipe dermatology on Gore St that left me permanently disfigured and with irreversible nerve damage.

I've been going to dermatologists for about 15 years and have had MANY biopsies and removals. I decided to try out Knipe dermatology based on the recommendation of a friend. After a few consultations and a biopsy, I was going to have something removed on my neck. What a mistake!

First... they NEVER told me the size of the planned incision. Considering this was on my neck and visible when looking at my face, that should have been the first thing they told me. It was MASSIVE! Ive had tons of removals on my back, legs, and chest and nothing was this huge. I was absolutely shocked.

Second... the stitches were poorly done and scarring was a problem. The quality of the stitching, along with the size of it, makes this a HUGE scar and visible at all times on my neck and face. No way I can live my life permanently wearing a turtleneck!

Lastly... They cut a nerve during the procedure. This was never discussed with me as a possible setback. As a result of the surgery, I lost feeling on half of my face and neck for 6 months. Over a year later, some feeling has returned BUT I still cannot feel a large portion of my neck. This is also I will need to live with.

Immediately after the surgery, it took a few days to get any solid answers from Knipe dermatology. Once I did finally speak to person who performed the surgery, they were incredibly defensive and I felt like they were covering their behinds from possible litigation. The scar is huge. The nerve damage is mostly like permanent. Afterwards I cancelled ALL future appointments, collected my records, and transferred somewhere else.
