Basil M. Hantash, MD, PhD

This is not to review Dr. Hantash…. More of a review on a certain person (Lori Marklund) who took the time to take photos of the examination room. I love pictures because they have a thousand stories. Firstly I would like to establish that I do not work at this facility; I however was employed there approximately 5 years ago. This facility has had its ups and downs in the recent past….but, Dr.Hantash is a fine physician and is extremely knowledgeable in his field of practice. I worked with him day in and day out and he displayed only care and compassion. Let’s get to the pictures:) that sink sure looks horrible doesn’t it? I can assure you that sink is 100 percent clean… one of the new medical assistants poured an acidic chemical in it and that horrible discoloration was the result. The pink stuff running on the cap of the bottle?? Chlorhexadine…touch that and you might get clean when you rinse it off😂. The trash…this is an extremely high volume office and the trash is taken away 2x daily; sometimes the tops do that, when it’s getting full. I will totally give you the chair picture; all the dust settles in there….and that should have been cleaned. One more thing… doctor Hantash teaches his medical assistants well ( you definitely know when you get a new hire) so…when he asked about who’s in the room and what’s going on; he simply requested a preview of what the patient’s visit is for today and a refresher on the last one. This common practice, gets him up to speed for better patient care. Lastly, If you were in the office early; before the hustle and bustle started…. The facility is large and the acoustics carry. You leaving his office was a gift…no one should have to deal with a person like you…self-entitled and quick to spread false accusations.

I had a pleasant experience at this office a month ago during Covid. I was referred by my physician to this office because they have a special machine not found in most other dermatologist offices.
The staff was very pleasant and did a great job with the procedure. It was completely painless, which is a big deal because I have done this procedure twice in the past, and it was very painful both times. The method they used was unique and worked incredibly well.
Needless to say I’ll be looking for an excuse to come back!

I’ve been to Basil’s office several times over the past few years now, and I’ve only had great experiences. Everything he and his staff recommended worked very well for me and the treatments were very affordable. His staff was very pleasant and efficient. Nothing like the other dermatologists that I’ve visited in the past, who recommended expensive treatments that didn’t work and may have done more harm than good.
