Provided detailed information on what was to be done and what was to follow. Also wanted me not to be concerned even though I am. Really felt they care for me as a person not just another patient that's making work for them.

I recently scheduled an appointment with Ainsley Sorenson, PA-C at your Lakewood Ranch Office. She is highly skilled in diagnosing and treating my issue. I felt very comfortable and was impressed with her patient focused approach and explanation for my follow up treatment. She was very helpful in recommending preventative measures for the future. I highly recommend her as a Dermatology Provider!
