Phoenixville Valley Forge Dermatology Associates : Sharon Zellis, D.O.

Dr. Zellis is very thorough at every appointment and truly takes her time with me. The staff and her assistant are always super friendly! Scheduling can be tough, but it's worth it to me to wait for an appointment.

I waited 3 months to see Dr.Zellis. Being on medication that suppresses the immune system, I've had 2 different skin cancers removed, as well as about a dozen precancerous lesions. The medication makes precancerous lesions pop up so fast, they itch, are angry looking, ugly, etc. Dr.Zellis said they're harmless and that they don't do anything about them in her office. Itching isn't harmless, in my opinion. Should I have gone 2 doors down, still under the same practice name? Because then I saw on their site, under the headline of "Medical," every benign condition and lesion that I have and wanted taken care of--all listed as conditions they treat. I told her they were covered by Medicare, but she didn't care, she didn't want to listen to what I wanted done. She even said they charge for any treatment for precancerous lesions, even though Medicare covers it. Seems unethical. I was so disappointed in this visit. I felt belittled and humiliated. Every question I had got shot down or turned down. Somewhere in her career she lost her humanity towards patients, no compassion or empathy for the aging process. Such a great privilege to practice medicine, but they all forget. But it was more than that. I believe money underlies the behavior. I never leave a private Derm office without at least one biopsy. It's all about procedures. It's how medical coverage is set up unfortunately.

Dr. Zellis is a wonderful physician! She is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and good-natured. I've been her patient for almost 10 years now, and every experience I have had at her practice has been positive. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Zellis has found three of my husband's Melanoma's . She has more intimate knowledge of my husband's body than I do....and I am eternally grateful. He has affectionately nicknamed her "Hawk Eye".We have found everyone in the practice to be polite and professional.

I called t twice to get directions The girl was short & rude. That tells a lot! Decided to go Somewhere else.
