If you want a derm that knows his buisness - then go to Dr. Cates!!! I enjoy midday appointments when most people are at work and the kids are still in school. You can actually get in and see the Dr. without a wait. This is not the case later in the day. I like his down to earth approach and common sense style. What took me so long to find Dr. Cates.

Upon arriving I noticed there were no other patients. This was the middle of the afternoon. That should have been my first clue – a dermatologist that you can get an appointment this quick that has no other patients in the waiting room.



I had some prior history with skin issues and have experienced several annual exams. Dr. Cates entered the room and asked what brings me in today. Midway through my explanation, he cut me off and began examining the areas I was pointing out that concerned me. Not once – but three times he smacked my hand out of the way to take a 2 second glance at the area. He dismissed everything I pointed out with no explanation as to what they were. After about a minute of looking at the rest of my body (and I am hairy) he left the room with instructions for me to return if anything changes shape or color. No annual exam needed. He was in the room for 5-6 minutes tops.



It was not like he had patients waiting and was rushed to get to everyone. He treated me as if my concerns did not matter. I have since made an appointment with another dermatologist (which took a month to get) for what I hope will be a real annual exam. If you are considering going to Dr. Cates, beware – the parking lot is empty for a reason!”
