Mitchell E. Stashower, MD

I don’t normally write bad reviews but this Doctor is one of the rudes and dismissing people we have had the displeasure of meeting. Where to start? Came in for skin rash and he barely even looked at it before making his diagnosis. When I asked questioned he was very general and seemed put off by being questioned. I was asked if i wanted a skin exam on top of the rash issue which I agreed to. The exam was basically him again diagnosis before exam. didn’t even look at my whole body… no wonder he had a skin cancer patient he misdiagnosed that had filed charges. I will be seeing another doctor, FOR SURE.

Good doctor. No problems. Quick but explained everything clearly. Satisfied, would go back if ever needed.

Got to love going to the doctor for a quick thing on lunch break and being told it would take 15 minutes and then 20 minutes later told that a whole bunch of people were taken back so it would be more than 20 minutes before I would be able to be seen… Oh and did I mention you pay your copy up front so I had to get a refund. If I would have known I would have made an appointment somewhere else

As a fair-​skinned female with a family history of melanoma, I’ve been to my share of dermatologists. I have previously seen Dr. Harry Wyre who is at the same practice but always felt like he was rushed and he barely spent much time with me. I recently have started seeing Dr. Stashower, wow, what a difference! Dr. Stashower is very personable and helpful. He answered all of my questions and was very gentle in his procedures — I hardly felt any pain and had a couple of spots burned off and a mole removed.

I took my 3yo daughter to Dr. Stashower after being referred by her pediatrician who diagnosed her molluscum contagiosum. Dr. S barely acknowledged my daughter & went right into the exam. He took one look & then told the nurse what to get out for treatment. Options were never discussed. The room was tiny, my daughter was terrified and Dr. S talked so fast I felt overwhelmed & flustered. I made him slow down & repeat himself. He told me that they would apply a treatment to the bumps, they would blister up & go away & she had to come in every 3 – 4 wks for more. He left the room after about 3 minutes. After making the nurses leave the room bc they were rushing my daughter & making her more uncomfortable, the y came back & held my daughter down SCREAMING while they applied Hydrochloric acid to her bumps. The procedure was painless, but over the next 24 hrs they blistered & became extremely painful. I called the office & asked what I could do to help the pain and they said, «I guess you can give her some tylenol». She could not walk the next day & 2 wks later still complained about the pain. I got a second opinion and the new doctor informed me that she does not recommend burning or freezing the bumps on small children because of the pain involved! She gave us retin-​A to apply each night at home. It is painless and pleasant. I would never recommend Dr. Stashower, especially for children. I went in for a consultation and came home with a child in pain. These people are supposed to have pediatric specialty! I will NEVER let Dr. S touch my baby again!

I went to Dr. Stashower for a yearly exam of my skin and moles in 2008 and also because I had symptoms of eczema. I picked him because he was close to my new apartment. I was happy with his advice about eczema but he did not do a thorough skin exam. He spent only about one minute total looking at my arms, legs and back, which concerns me because I have very fair skin and a lot of moles. My entire appointment took less than 10 minutes, and I felt like he did not listen to my concerns. I was used to my doctor in the previous city where I lived, who would spend at least 30 minutes examining every inch of my skin and measuring and taking pictures of my larger moles to keep in my file to compare to the previous years. Because I was so disappointed, I’ve put off trying to find another dermatologist until now.

I went here for a skin check up — and to have a few bumps and other skin features evaluated. My general Doctor recommended Dr. Stashower.
After giving my skin the once over and pronouncing everything in good order — I asked a few specific questions about some of the skin bumps I was concerned about — he went into great detail about them — so that was nice to learn more about this and why it was not a problem.
I also opted to have a mole/​bump removed from my forehead, I thought it would hurt a bit just because where it is located. But they applied some Lidocaine and a couple of minutes later he pronounced — «All done!» I was surprised that he had already removed it since I did not feel a thing!
He offers a wide range of services — including laser hair removal.
Great experience and nice doctor!
