Cara Mia Dermatology

RICHARD STRAUBINGER a month ago

I have been having yearly skin check for more than 15 years. The preventive care has been excellent. Three years ago I developed a spot 1 inch square of skin cancer on on my left hand. Surgery was done on that spot with excellent results. Dr. Shurnas is very good and knowledgeable in what she does in preventive care. I fully trust her in the services she provides. I recommend her highly. RIC

I had my first anual check up for my whole skin. Everybody at the clinic was very friendly and helpful. I was able to get an appointment the same week that I called, and I was expecting needing to wait a few weeks to months. Emily Timmons, PA, did my exam, and asked me all the appropriate questions. She was very professional and helped me understand a skin condition that I had noticed in the past. I would recommend Cara Mia Dermatology, and I will make appointments for other family members that need a check up.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this practice and feel compelled to share my experience due to ongoing issues with professionalism, negligence, medical competency, and billing transparency. I was seen at two of their office locations- this being one of them. During my initial visit, I asked a provider for simple recommendations for non-aluminum deodorant, as I have a known aluminum sensitivity. Shockingly, the provider demonstrated little to no knowledge on the topic and actually recommended a higher-strength aluminum product, despite aluminum being the exact substance I explained I am allergic to. This lack of basic knowledge and patient listening was concerning and left me questioning the level of education and care at this practice. I was seen again at the practice for a simple cyst removal procedure. During the procedure, they did not provide me with enough numbing and I felt much more of the procedure than I should have, or would have liked. After the procedure, several of the stitches that were put in my arm came loose, despite me following directions not to lift anything heavy or strain it in any way. When I returned to have my stitches removed, Dr Cox was very condescending to me and made it seem like it was my fault that all the stitches came loose. At this procedure I brought two people with me (due to my history of fainting) and warned the doctor that I have a history of fainting. At the follow up visit after the stitch procedure, despite the previous warning of my history of fainting, I was left alone and unmonitored, was not warned that fainting was a possible risk, and I subsequently fainted while still in the exam room. As a result, I had significant facial lacerations and required additional stitches and medical treatment. That injury later became infected, requiring lab work and antibiotics. At the time, I was explicitly told that I would not be charged for the visit or the resulting care. Despite this, I am now being billed for these services. What is most frustrating is that I have been trying to contact the office manager regarding these charges for THREE MONTHS, with no response. I have called the office, billing department, left messages, and attempted to follow up multiple times by phone AND email without success. The complete lack of communication and accountability is unacceptable. Between the poor medical guidance, failure to monitor a patient after a procedure, and the ongoing billing and communication issues, I have lost all confidence in this practice. The lack of professionalism, negligence and follow-through has been deeply disappointing. I was seen by Johnathon Cox and Jane McAskill. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this practice to think carefully and advocate for themselves, especially when it comes to post-procedure care and billing clarity.

The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. The nursing staff took the time to explain everything they were doing and made sure I knew exactly what to expect, which really put me at ease. Dr. Shurnas is consistently amazing—engaging, professional, and highly knowledgeable. I always feel confident I’m in the best hands here!

Rapid response to book healthcare appointment & courteous checking personnel. Leeann Kuehn was personable, efficient & informed. It’s exciting to experience such care. I’d be glad to encourage family, friends & acquaintances to coordinate with this office & Leeann especially for cancer screening. She seems to really be interested in me as a person not a “number” like so many medical caregivers do these days!!
