    Even though the PA gave me fast explanations about my issues I presented with and treatment plans, I was unable to grasp it all! This was new to me, had lots of questions, to which I was being given answers that required major life changes, long term serious actions with lasting consequences! Definitely needed little more patience and detailed discussions of options so that I could make an informed decision about my care!

    I liked her a lot. The last dermatologist MD I had, I did not like him at all. When I was concerned about an irregularity I had, she fixed right away. When I brought that irregularity up to the last Doctor, he suggested that I go to a doctor friend oh his outside of Emory to get it fixed instead of him doing it himself while I was right there!! It was a simple fix with a little liquid nitrogen. So she was a great breath of fresh air compared to the last doctor.

    Both Maya and Dr. Horton were very good; efficient but not rushed; very little waiting.

    This doctor was incredible!!! She was very thorough and clear and knew what she was talking about. What she had recommended was such a huge help. I have had many dermatologists over the years, but she is by far the best!!!

    Takeia was good in terms of diagnosing and explaining my condition. However, I felt that I was rushed. I wish she had paused and asked me questions, instead of deciding care plans herself.
