    Once again, if Excellent was an option, that would be my selection. Shame on me for not providing feedback previously regarding the care I receive from Dr. MacKelfresh. She has been my dermatologist for at least 5 years. I am extremely grateful for her knowledge, compassion, communication, proactivity, patience and thoroughness. She's also an outstanding listener. I feel fortunate to have her as my doctor.

    Dr. Mackelfresh is a treasure! When I first met her, after seeing several doctors, I was in extreme pain. She sat with me and asked me "to tell my story". She did not rush me. That moment changed my life and I knew that I was finally in good hands. She helped me through and continues to treat me for my condition. I have learned that few doctors treat hair disorders because there is not a quick fix. I believe she has accepted the challenge and she has not given up on us. I could go on and on, but I won't. All that I can say is that she has become an angel in my life

    Prior to this appt, I only had immediate care, Infection prevention type instructions for how to care for my cold temp thermal burn. Dr. Mackelfresh gave me reassurance, understanding of what was happening along the process in my skin, and what to expect in the days, weeks, and months to come not only to prevent infection, but to minimize scarring. And even what steps were available to help further if scarring did not sufficiently resolve with initial management. Very grateful to be her patient, as this was my first time meeting her following my former dermatologist's departure from Emory.
