Dr. Rea one of the best of multiple Doctors I've seen. [...] Very professional, personal, and informative
Dr. Rea is amazing, very knowledgeable, and detailed.
Dr. Rea displayed both deep expertise and compassionate patient care. I was so happy to find her [...]
Perhaps I am being overly sensitive but I found the Doctor to speak quickly and use clinical terms which I didn't understand or even catch sometimes. I will say that I was given the opportunity to ask questions however. I felt she was in a time constraint and rushed.
Dr. Rea is excellent
Andrea Rae, MD is the best.
While the doctor was very competent, her social skills were minimal. She was aloof, condescending and spoke very little. All in all, it was an unpleasant encounter.
Dr. Rea is attentive, compassionate and respectful. Very thorough and clear in her comments.
Doctor refused to provide the treatment which was recommended by [...] and this was not made aware to me until well into the appointment. This should have been handled at scheduling time, [...]
She gave me a variety of options and walked me through the various pros and cons before we settled on a course of treatment.
I'm so used to other clinics ignoring my symptoms or concerns that when the doctor came in to talk to me about what I'd told the assistant, I started crying. (good cry, not bad) It really was very nice to have the care team actually listen and help me
Seemed annoyed with my concern. [...] this dr knocked me off my feet with her disposition and annoyance - I'm still confused
Dr. Rea was amazing. Extremely intelligent, insightful, friendly, and thorough!
Dr. Rae used liquid Nitrogen to burn off a few problem sites. Fast, efficient, and almost painless.
Dr Rea is terrific!
The doctor was fantastic!
Clear, concise, and made it clear we needed to rush a bit
Dr. Rea never skips on explanations and even when I ask her Frank questions, she doesn't take anything personally. She just answers it gives me the information I need. It's very helpful to me to know what products and processes work and which don't. I also enjoy interacting with Dr. Rea because she has a good sense of humor which I find very useful when I'm dealing with a skin problem which affects my face and how I appear to others. It can be a difficult issue psychologically, and she doesn't fail to acknowledge this. She seems to know really well what options are out there and which will work for my situation. She also offers information when I have a misunderstanding about a medicine. This is very helpful to me because I am definitely not an expert in that field. She's efficient and very focused, and for some reason I never feel rushed. That's the art of practicing medicine, I think, and she does this very well. [...]
Excellent provider
Dr. Rea and the team made it an A+ experience for me from start to finish. Thank you!
