Disturbing Lack of Dermatology Basics

Dr. Krishnan prescribed me isotretinoin, but unfortunately failed to demonstrate patient empathy from the initial consultation, through monthly check-ins, and all the way until the last. Worse still, she was not aware of the recommended safe cumulative dosage range overwhelmingly established by medical literature. She ended up severely overdosing me given my height and weight, and it only took me a simple PubMed search to confirm the medical consensus, so I was quite surprised that she would make such a simple but devastating mistake. I saw her 7 years ago, and every single day since she overdosed me I have regretted stepping foot in her dangerous practice. Due to her negligence, I experienced significant permanent hair shedding through my entire head and body, exacerbated inflammatory steatocystoma multiplex, skin craters, and permanent loss of night vision. With every subsequent visit she recommended treatment that made things worse every single time. After 3 rounds of this, enough was enough. Throughout this experience, she had a disturbing complete lack of empathy or patient bedside manner. With each followup treatment that made things even worse—and she charged extra for—she would simply keep suggesting further treatments that would make thing even worse, and of course, charge more. Had I known back then what I know now, I would have sued for medical malpractice, but unfortunately it is past the California statue of limitations. Please avoid at all costs.
