Need Good Rosacea Derm in Phoenix/Arizona

[cpt_matt]

I've done some searching on this site. Haven't been able to find anything.

Looking for a good derm in the Phoenix area. Any suggestions? Is there a good website with recommended doctors that I can use?

Please help.

I haven’t found a good dermatologist in the Phoenix area and I have been here since 1981. All of them misdiagnosed my severe rosacea (including those at the Mayo Clinic) and most just passed it off as nothing serious since it wasn’t cancer. My endocrinologist is from Italy and one day she had a visiting dermatologist from Italy with her when I went in and that dermatologist said my skin issues were serious and that there were likely several problems but that one was definitely rosacea and she started me on antibiotics (topical and oral). But she is not around any more and my rosacea has become severe again and I cannot find a Phoenix doctor who gives a damn about it. I am male, meaning I got the worst kind – rosacea in the rhinophyma phase. Dermatologists that I see in the Phoenix area say they are familiar with rosacea treatment for women but they say it is so rare in men that they don’t believe I have it even when my scarred, abscessed, Jimmy Durante nose is staring them right in their stupid faces.

Have you tried Dr. Soldo of Arizona Vein and Skin Rejuvination. I went to see him and he seemed very knowledgeable. Also, he genuinely seem to care.
