More on the no-brainer study suggesting it’s easier to see a dermatologist for Botox:
This can be spun in two ways. #1. Dermatologists are greedy and make patients with a potentially cancerous skin lesion wait weeks while cosmetic patients get through to the front of the line. #2. Health Insurance is willing to pay a professional with 12 or more years of advanced training as little as $20 to evaluate a potentially fatal condition. Take your pick.

Around here new patient visits to dermatologist can take months, not weeks. I doubt it matters whether it’s Botox or a mole. There is ONE doc who greatly limits the insurance companies he accepts. I can get an appointment with him within 2 weeks EVERY time. Fortunately, he accepts my insurance and he’d be my first choice anyway.
