Allison Engelbrecht, FNP-BC
I have relied on her to address some skin cancer issues that have developed.
My being nearly 72 years of age, and having never been to a Dermatologist, naturally gave me some sense of reluctance.
My first visit led to her taking a biopsy, and when it confirmed her suspicions of cancer, she recommended the best course of treatment.
During a recent follow-up of that resulting surgery, along with a full body scan, more skin cancer was found. Also, a biopsy was taken of a suspicious mole, and again she described my options and helped me decide the next steps.
I am grateful for her easy manner that puts a patient at ease and for her staff that is equally adept at providing care and comfort.
As she now guides my treatment for the cancer we know is there, as well as we wait for the biopsy results of the yet unknown, there is no other Dermatologist or office staff that I would rather have helping me address these concerns.

Very efficient.No time for questions but explanations for the time were satisfactory.Sheet for wound care post biopsy should be more clear. I had to consult Mayo Clinic online to learn proper care with vaseline or aquaphor--use of cotton swab. I had to consult my pharmacist for appropriate adhesive to cover biopsies. He recommended lighter adhesive for face and slightly heavier for leg and arm.
