Dr Dean is an extremely talented surgeon! I was very impressed with his care of me. He fit me in urgently when I had a spot on my leg that looked worrisome. I felt confident that it was all removed and received the pathology. The office and procedure room are beautiful and I felt confident that I was in excellent hands. I am truly grateful for his care and being a surgeon myself, I am inherently very picky about whom I seek to care for myself. After my experience I am proud to recommend him to care for my friends and family.

A Horrific Experience That Ruined My Confidence I was recommended to Dr. Shay Dean by another reputable skin doctor, convinced he was the right man for my cyst/mass removal. How wrong I was. From the very start, my consultation visit left me with an unsettling and uncomfortable impression that only worsened on the day of my procedure. During my consultation, I already felt a disconcerting vibe in the office, but I hoped it was just my first visit jitters. That hope was shattered when the actual procedure day arrived. I felt completely uncared for and unimportant. The staff, particularly Brenda at the front desk, were shockingly rude. When I explained how sensitive my skin is, my history of keloids, and my deep anxiety about this being my first-ever surgery, Brenda simply smirked and dismissed my concerns with a flippant remark: “Honey, it will just be a small line and it will disappear over time.” Her callous response was not only insensitive, it felt like a slap in the face. The situation deteriorated further in the procedure room. My boyfriend, who was with me for support, witnessed my mounting distress when I noticed an intern was assigned to perform my surgery instead of Dr. Shay Dean himself. I immediately voiced my disapproval, emphasizing that this was the first cut I would ever have on my body—on my shoulder, a highly visible area that is crucial for my modeling career. Dr. Dean’s response was nothing short of infuriating: he insisted that his intern needed the experience, i was one of the patients he used as practice for his interns. Truly can't believe i ruined my shoulder for trusting this asshole. When the intern made her first cut, he remarked that he would have done it differently—cutting in the opposite direction. I now bear a huge, red scar on my right shoulder, a constant reminder of the negligence and lack of care I experienced. I trusted Dr. Shay Dean and his office based on a recommendation, only to have receive the out come i was trying to avoid, all those warnings in the review were proven true. If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. over all I'd say this was the most awful experience ive had in my life and now i have a scar that will remind me everyday so thank you so much for not doing your job and using me for your practices like we are not human. I am beyond mad, deeply disappointed, frustrated, and truly hurt by the complete lack of professionalism, care, and empathy shown by Dr. Shay Dean, Brenda, and the entire staff. Save yourself the agony—do not go to this office for any skin procedure. You will be left with regret for the rest of your life.
