One of the few dermatologists/venereologists who truly knows his profession and demonstrates genuine expertise. His three main qualities are: knowledge, courtesy, and discretion.

I will tell you about our own experience, which was also very traumatic. First of all, let me say that the doctor was honestly very kind, but the way he handled our child's issue was abusive. We got other opinions, we also went to Syngros and everyone was left speechless when they saw the child's wounds. The doctor chose to scratch his pimples with a scalpel on a 12-month-old baby who had a contagious termite, creating wounds in several parts of his body. As if that wasn't enough, he accidentally cut his leg in an invalid spot. He had left his scalpel where he could. His leg bled for two days. And I say, was the injury in another place, sir? And the wonderful thing is, he tells us it's a scratch. Shut up. I didn't know that scratches bleed so much. You don't need a degree to understand that. And it makes me angry because I allowed this to happen. He also gave us a treatment with a tincture to do ourselves. Fortunately, I didn't do it to him because both the pediatrician and the other doctors I asked and went to see my child said not to use it because I would burn the baby. And also, after researching doctors, this is indeed a method for terminthos but NOT IN BABIES. It usually goes away on its own and appears in children with dry skin and we need to moisturize the child's body and not take too many baths. Three other doctors told me this! There is no point in getting rid of pimples if we don't first protect the skin because it will simply come back again. Not even that the gentleman mentioned dry skin to us. I am very sorry for this experience. Yes, he may be the best person to be a doctor, but he doesn't do it. And we also have a responsibility for trusting him. The conclusions are yours.
