Do your research before going to Dr. Lubitz! After waiting for months to get in, I was hesitant to book an appointment as I had read multiple negative reviews. Unfortunately, this is the only skin doctor in my area. Once I finally got in, he was pleasant to me and was knowledgable, but had no respect for his nurses. He treated them like uneducated servants and even made one of them cry while I was there. There was another woman (the only employee out of uniform) parading around, yelling at staff, she must have been the manager. I can only imagine what goes on when they do not have patients in the clinic.
After my experience, I asked around and found out that they are notorious for treating staff (and even some patients) poorly. I also discovered that they do not put serious medical cases like cancer on priority if they have cash paying patients to book ($$$ greedy). If you want botox or lipo, great because they can make big money from it. If you have cancer, too bad. They will call you when they feel like it. I know more than one person who found out they had skin cancer from their GP while they had been waiting for weeks to hear from Art of Skin.
It makes sense now that the doctor spent most of my appointment telling me I needed my varicose veins looked at and told me that all my imperfections could be fixed with lasers or some other treatment or cream. Of course, none of them are covered by health care. I didn't even go to him for those reasons, it was all up-selling. This was a miserable experience and I left feeling like they just wanted my money. I will not be going back and I will most certainly warn all my friends to stay away. Make the drive to Calgary if you can.
