Going in yesterday I was embarrassed because I tanned in tanning bed 20+ years, Jenny never once talked negative about my previous habit and I appreciate that so much. She actually said she was proud I stopped tanning. I maybe 48 years old, but still knew tanning was a big NO in the eyes of dermatologist. Jenny and her nurse were VERY understanding and kind.

It did not seem she had enough time for me and did not really address my questions. I wasn't even sure I was supposed to leave, as I wasn't given direction as who to call in two weeks or if a follow uo was necessary. Not good bedside manner?
