    Dr. Resneck was excellent. He was efficient in his diagnosis personable very clear in describing condition (most complete explanation I have received with respect to this issue) and offered a couple options for treatment. Once I decided he was supportive and implemented the plan. Could not have been more satisfied with the experience.

    Dr. Resneck is that best possible combination: brilliant at what he does; truly concerned about the patient; and very affable. I wish the "bedside manner" he has at every appointment could be taught.

    I feel that explanations of my skin condition and possible spread were not discussed but rather quickly passed over with little assurance as to future growth of the skin area in question.

    Dr.Resneck was excellent. He came in right away told me he had just read my chart which assured me he was completely familiar with my current medical situation he spent time answering my questions was reassuring while did my full body evaluation that everything looked okay.
