Lori Fedoronko, MD

This is the second time I’ve been to Dr. Fedoronko. At no time did I feel rushed or that my symptoms were ignored. She suggested several medications, but settled on one that was a reasonable out-​of-​pocket cost.
In fact she provided me with a voucher that cut my co-​payment from $ 50 to $ 10. She went as far as to recommend several over-​the-​counter remedies to help alleviate my condition.
As is the case in life, most people only submit negative reviews to websites. — The vast majority of satisfied people do not. I recommend Dr. Fedoronko.

I have been seeing this doctor for many years for moderate pustular and comedonal acne. She has perscribed nearly every topical medication and oral antibiotic for my acne. None of which have worked. She adamately refused to give me isotretinoin (Accutane), and now I am left with rolling scars on my cheeks and chin, and numerous hyper pigmentation spots that look like age spots. And bear in mind, I am 26 years old. I chose to find another dermatologist in October and he immediately suggested Accutane, and explained that «you have exhausted all other medications, and I have had a very high success rate with Accutane for your type of acne.» 20 minutes later I had a blood test, and an iPledge book. I start my treatment December 4. In short, Fedoronko did not take my condition seriously, and I would suggest that acne patients try another dermatologist that will give them the help they need.

What is the point of making an appointment with a doctor if they aren’t going to follow them? I had a 10:00AM, got there and waited 15 minutes at which time the 10:30 showed up, signed in and then got called back before me. Really? When I finally was able to see the doctor she really didn’t do much of anything outside of asking me basic questions as to why I was there. She did no real examination, but essentially just took an educated guess and wrote me some prescriptions.
The prescriptions she wrote for me are pretty much not available at any pharmacy in my area and the one they did have, they wanted an astronomical fee for as it is not covered by most insurances. I ended up passing on that one because she gave me some samples and I didn’t care for how it made my skin feel greasy.
Anyway, long story short they called recently to confirm my next appointment and as I haven’t been able to get these scripts and use them to see if it helped, I explained that to the lady and that I would need to cancel the appointment. She had a very snotty tone to her voice the entire call and came off like my reasoning for cancelling wasn’t good enough and I was wasting her time. Sorry, but I am not going to keep an appointment and pay for a service that will not even be rendered.
I am bummed as I really wanted to like this doctor because they are less than two minutes drive from my work, but alas I shall continue to look elsewhere I suppose.
