Avoiding "Just a Pop Doc" Syndrome
Yes, it's harsh. Patients don't like to admit it. They have an unspoken plan when they first visit you: to come one time, get rid of their pain and then get rid of you. They know it's unrealistic, but they'd like to pay nothing for this service.

Treating Acute and Chronic Neck Pain With Ischemic Compression and Exercise
There are many reasons not to manipulate the neck with cavitation: the patient is too old, their neck is too tight, etc. But the most common reason is that plenty of patients are afraid of "the crack," mostly because of the bad publicity about that procedure.
Why Drugs and Supplements Can't Cure Disease
Chronic diseases are the outcome of disease-promoting, goal-oriented behaviors. So, the notion that diseases can be cured with drugs or supplements should be abandoned. Hypertension is the best example of this.
Micro-Needle Dermal Roller Use in the Treatment Room
Recently micro-needle dermal rollers have been getting a lot of media attention. As a practitioner who specializes in acupuncture facial rejuvenation, I know that skin needling with a dermal roller (also known as collagen induction therapy), promotes the natural reproduction of collagen and elastin, making the skin feel smoother and tighter.

Tremors in the Massage Industry
By Pete Whitridge
Change, challenges and consolidation have created recent tremors in the industry and I have been asked to comment on some current trends in massage education. I will address school sustainability, massage training and accreditation issues here. I will address other school and education issues in future articles.
School Developments
Over the last 25 years, the number of massage schools has grown to approximately 1,600 schools. The 2008 market collapse and resulting recession have had a dramatic affect on all massage school programs. Whether sole proprietor, career training institute or corporate-owned school, enrollments have dropped significantly.
In summary, we have 300 fewer schools in the massage universe since 2009. Student enrollments are down 18.8% since 2011, and down 50% since 2005. We have 50% more schools then we had in 1998, yet we are educating a similar number of students. More schools and fewer students make for a highly competitive and fractured market.
Market Forces
administrators and teachers, I have identified a few factors that contribute to school closures: State school licensure requirements, Federal Department of Education "gainful employment" and "placement" requirements, lack of quality lead generation, competition with larger massage programs with better financial resources, staff and infrastructure. Practically all corporate, university and career training institutions are accredited. This fact allows these schools to out compete small, owner-operated schools by offering grants and loans.
We have more than 1,300 massage schools in this country. 52% of schools are proprietary, yet only 20% of proprietary schools are accredited. This means proprietary schools have yet to embrace accreditation as a means to stabilize their programs by accessing Title IV funding. It might be time to reassess this situation.
Does being accredited make a difference? The ABMP biennial school enrollment census suggests accreditation does make a difference. When proprietary schools are compared based on accreditation status, accredited schools enroll close to 50% more students than non-accredited proprietary schools. The differences in enrollment between accredited and non-accredited schools could be a market driver in the future.
Additionally, Career Training Institutes enroll more than two times more then proprietary schools according to the census. All CTI's are accredited and have the infrastructure to recruit students for a variety of programs. Maybe it is time to review your long-term sustainability by exploring the value of obtaining accreditation. Maybe its time to explore synergistic trainings that help establish your school as an education hub. Whether esthetics, personal training, or yoga therapy, attracting health-oriented leads may help enrollment at your school.
Is accreditation the answer for small schools? The report shows approximately 60% of massage programs hold some form of accreditation. These programs offer student loans and grants and are able to demonstrate financial stability. Accredited schools report yearly to their commissioners and renew on a five-year cycle. While many of these accredited schools are able "to withstand the bumps of competition and a sluggish U.S. economy," these schools still face limited income potential if they only enroll an average of 20 to 35 students per year!
The ABMP enrollment census outlines the average number of students enrolled per year for each category of school: CTI, college/university, corporate-owned, public and proprietary. Four of the five categories of school enroll 35 or fewer students per year, with CTI's enrolling an average of 85 students per year. Yet, the CTI's have closed programs at a larger rate as compared to proprietary schools. This means CTI's are not as profitable as they need to be and are closed. The CTI's will move on to something more profitable. I speculate that many low enrollment CTI' and corporate schools will move on to offer and focus on more lucrative programs such as respiratory therapy, fitness training or nursing education. Federal placement and gainful employment rules will also force training centers to enroll students for programs that actually provide jobs and career longevity. Education is a business and when the numbers don't warrant having a program, programs will be shuttered. Be ready to absorb market share when a program is closed in your area. CTI's can add and subtract programs based on enrollment and profitability.
Floods of Change
What about the small schools? It's clear there are hundreds of small programs in our field. Can these low enrollment programs last? Is it profitable for a program to have one to five instructors, maintain enrollments and management to compete with larger education corporations, community colleges and the newest players on the scene, the osteopathic and chiropractic colleges such as Bastyr, University of Western States and the University of Bridgeport?
The answer for some small schools owners is decidedly, "No." For example, the Core Institute in Tallahassee, Fla., has shuttered its entry-level program. They are now focusing only on continuing education and specialty certifications. The Atlanta School of Healing Arts (ASHA) was shuttered because the Federal Department of Education demanded a large bond from the school to remain Title IV eligible. The school was not able to meet this requirement and the DOE revoked eligibility. Finally, the loss of a massage school to flooding. Did this owner have reserves to survive until the location can be rebuilt? Will this school be able to re-open, enroll students and survive another day?
I encourage all small school owners to work together to support high standards of entry-level education, qualified teachers in these programs and financial responsibility so that the school has reserves to cushion a blow to enrollment. Institutional accreditation may solve some of these issues by providing guidance, support and peer review. Eligibility for Title IV funds is also an important consideration when applying for accreditation.
Will accreditation help my school? Isn't it expensive? How much paperwork is required? The Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA) is working to help schools wishing to obtain accredited status by formulating a pre-accredited status where a school would work toward full accreditation over a two year period by applying with COMTA, demonstrating activity in alignment with a Self Study Report and reporting back to the commission yearly. The COMTA commissioners met on October 23, 2013, and I understand the group is very interested in supporting schools in this area.
I encourage all school owners, administrators, CE providers and LMTs to volunteer as peer reviewers with COMTA to experience the process of traveling for a site visit and evaluating fellow school programs. Peer review volunteer opportunities are available throughout the year. You can apply as a volunteer whether you are an educator, LMT or compliance wonk like me. COMTA also has three commissioner positions open for election this year. They are recruiting commissioners in the areas of esthetics practitioner, an employer position and a public member. If interest, visit www.comta.org/about-comta/commissioners-elections-appointments/.
Want more students? Need to compete with within your market? Accreditation could make the difference. Evaluate your school curriculum and administration compared to the COMTA standards. Using these standards will help you as you plan for future sustainability. Even if you just volunteer as a peer reviewer, you will have a better understanding of the process and can evaluate the pros and cons for your school.
Shock Waves
A historic school closes and sends shock waves across the education community. The Boulder College of Massage Therapy announced in June 2013, that they would be closing their doors. Many educators and therapists shuddered deeply. Even after an angel investor helped temporarily reopen the school, BCMT permanently shuttered its doors on September 26, 2013. For more information, visit http://bcmt.org/.
This is a big issue in our field. The reasons stated on the BCMT site are chilling and unfortunately, familiar.
"...This is the second closure of BCMT in the last six months. The first closure was the result of multiple factors related to the financial health of the school over the past several years. However, in the last 18 months, BCMT had increased enrollment, revamped its curriculum, raised job placement rates and improved its financial solvency. Despite these efforts, the school was unable to overcome a constellation of issues related to the previous years of financial losses and the decrease in value of the real estate asset, the BCMT campus. Multiple attempts to reach an agreement with the real estate bondholder, as well as multiple attempts to be acquired by larger educational entities, were unsuccessful."
We would be wise to reflect further on what forces brought such a fine program to close. "As a founder of the International School of Bodywork (IPSB), I find BCMT's recent closure especially troubling. My school was born of a similar ilk of human potential and spiritual seekers. Both schools have attracted individuals wanting a top-notch vocational education balanced by artistic and humanistic values. Both schools have similar approvals, institutional objectives, established and award-winning faculty," said Carol Osborne.
Carole also outlined more issues all massage schools face:
Despite these challenges, many schools have adapted and enhanced their programs to meet the needs of the 21st century student and the current marketplace. Yet, many graduates still struggle to establish an economically viable practice in these weak financial times. Interestingly, we also hear from many spa and massage franchise owners that there are not enough quality massage therapists. The somewhat contradictory nature of these developments can be bewildering and they merit some meaningful discussions between schools, educators and employers.
How can we have so many schools, yet so few "quality" therapists? Looking over the data from the 2013 survey, four of the five categories of schools have less the 25 students per year and even the career schools average only 85 graduates per year. I speculate that these smaller programs have only one or two teachers in the classroom and the teachers may not have extensive teacher training but are rather content experts; a successful therapist in town.
This scenario has played out many times over the past decade as massage schools expanded into Corporate/CC/University settings. These schools tend to hire content experts with some experience in the field and then recruit from alumni when seeking replacement teachers or teaching assistants. Teacher pay is not known to be more than $25/hour at most colleges and universities. Teachers in these small career training or community colleges are operating without much peer support and tend to have a high turnover rate.
Growth within the massage education industry has ended. Will your school thrive, survive or close? Could acceptance of voluntary accreditation and the imposition of strict standards for licensure, training and enforcement create more consolidation, weed out weak schools and force the remaining schools to step up their game? Massage as a "growth" center peaked back in 2010, and has been on a downward trend ever since.
In future articles, we'll look at entry-level education, an ongoing issue for the last few years. I will offer a report on the ELAP project, the recommended standards and their ramifications for massage schools, teachers and administrators.
Pete Whitridge currently is the President of the Alliance for Massage Therapy Education (AFMTE). He is a faculty member and former Director of Education for the Florida School of Massage in Gainesville, Fla., and past chairman of the Florida Board of Massage Therapy, and past legislative chair for the Florida State Massage Therapy Association.

New HR destroyed culture quickly: HR leadership lack business savvy, are untrustworthy and incompetent. It can be argued that HR has created a hostile work environment in recent months.
Lack of accountability: The CEO does not hold the executive level accountable including himself.
The company has survived only due to the efforts of the director level and lower. These employees receive no leadership from the executive level.
Retirements of president, Jim Hohman, and CFO, Mike Hicks, eliminated any accountability or leadership at the executive level.
No work life balance: The employees work 60 plus hour weeks and continue to be squeezed to do more with less resources. It is never ending.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Accountability needs to start from the type down. Try to reestablish the strong leadership and culture of accountability. Reevaluate leadership at executive level. The company was willing to risk an increase in turnover to move to Beechwood but a significant number of the 25% of employees that have left are your higher performers you should be trying to retain.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

The coming season isn't about glitter, stars, and rainbows, but rather unique nail tips, according to Glamour's August 2012 issue.
The French mani was given an update at Rebecca MinKoff, where manicurist Emma Lara did two stripes of jewel tones, and at Behnaz Sarafpour, thanks to foils. At Joy Cioci, Manacchio attached bits of tulle, lace, and fishnet to the edges of nails with fabric glue.
You can even use nail decals on tips only to achieve this look. Just cut off the excess decal and file.
Create bold tips with metallic shades like Essie's Midnight and Jazz against a subtle neutral such as Cami. Use Essie's Rubies to bedazzle.
You can also try CND's Silver Chrome or Dashing Diva's DesignFX Nail Appliques in Lace Love Affair.

GNC's opulent aisles display a wide variety of vitamin and mineral and herbal supplements, as well as sports nutrition, diet, energy, bodycare, and other health products. The Mega Men Sport multivitamin ($19.99 for 90 caplets) supports muscle recovery and energy levels while aiding speedy male metabolisms without dangling steaks in front of their treadmills. Fuel feats of female strength with the Women's Ultra Mega Active multivitamin ($19.99 for 90 caplets), ideal for vigorous women. Two pounds of Pro Performance 100% whey protein ($35.99) distract taste buds with the flavor of chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry while smuggling 20 grams of high-quality protein into the body in each scoop. Promote healthy bones with a calcium supplement, such as coral calcium, sustainably harvested from the Okinawan Sea to provide a healthy 2-to-1 ratio of calcium and magnesium.
Losing unwanted pounds requires an approach that combines short-term and long-term regimens to generate real change over time. At Massachusetts Medical Weight Loss Centers, such multifaceted treatment plans are used to help individuals achieve the body image they desire. The centers' medical director, Dr. Joseph Palma, oversees a team of nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical assistants, and registered dietitians. Their nutritional counseling and lifestyle guidance help patients make changes in their everyday lives that can help them shed unwanted weight. Support is also offered in the form of metabolism-boosting injections, appetite suppressants, and noninvasive Lipo-Light body contouring, which uses light energy to trigger adipose tissues into releasing their fatty-acid contents. When coupled with regular exercise and a healthy diet, these body-contouring treatments can help shrink stubborn fat deposits on patients' limbs, torsos, and vestigial tails.
At Weightloss Boston, Drs. Shalva Nash and Lilia Bespalko adhere to the Sadkhin Complex, a weight-loss technique that focuses on 16 points behind the ears believed to control hunger. The duo stimulates these hunger-control points during acupressure treatments. Then, they augment the treatments with a nutrition plan of fruits, vegetables, and whole milk, or a milk alternative for those who are lactose intolerant or just afraid of cows. If the regimen is followed correctly, Weightloss Boston claims patients can lose up to 25 pounds per month.
At Boston Ideal Weight Loss, wellness coach and certified craniosacral therapist Claire Desroche teams up with Doctor of Chiropractic Mitchell Simon, medical supervisor, to help their clients reach weight-loss and health goals. They provide structured and individualized plans, one-on-one coaching, and health education as they encourage their clients toward long-term weight loss and sustainable lifestyles. The therapy also potentially addresses aches, pains, or diseases. Claire's training has focused on identifying variations of the cerebrospinal fluid, the focus of craniosacral-therapy sessions.
At Ideal Weight Innovations, a team that includes a chiropractor, a personal trainer, and a weight-loss coach work together to help clients shed pounds. Their weight-loss program relies on weekly sessions with the coach, monitoring of clients' body composition, and advice on how to reform eating habits and resist cravings.

Carat promotes MD Tracy De Groose to CEO
By Katherine Levy, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 18 October 2012 09:55AM
Carat has promoted its managing director, Tracy De Groose, to the new role of chief executive.
De Groose will continue to report to Robert Horler, the chief executive of Aegis Media UK.
Carat will not immediately fill the managing director role. Its former deputy managing director Richard Morris was recently appointed managing director of the sister Aegis agency Vizeum.
The senior management team will continue to report directly to De Groose. This team includes Richard Sexton, the chief operating officer; Matthew Hook, the chief strategy officer; and Jo Allan, the chief client officer.
In her new role, De Groose will increase her focus on the range of Carat's businesses in the UK and work with other Aegis Media assets to improve the service to Carat clients.
De Groose, who joined Carat in September 2010, was previously the group managing partner at Naked Communications. Before that, she worked at Starcom and Stella Artois.
De Groose said: "I look forward to working with Carat's management team to accelerate our reinvention to a media agency more closely aligned to clients' business success."Follow @KatherinePLevy

Final Fantasy XIII launching in West
Go West!
Having launched in Japan late last year, Final Fantasy XIII officially hits Western markets today on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Reviews of the hit RPG have gone down well for the most part - despite widespread accusations of linearity in Japan that have left some fans concerned.
Of course, this will be tempered by a multi-platform release that must be music to Microsoft's ears, even if the game remains a PS3 exclusive in Japan.
Final Fantasy Versus XIII (PS3) and Final Fantasy Agito XIII (PSP) remain in the works at Square Enix. More Final Fantasy XIII news soon.

Economic development strategy session setBy Darren Marcy
Staff Writer | October 21,2013The state is looking for help planning its economic development strategy over the next decade or so.
Toward that goal, a series of workshops have been planned around the state as part of the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy identified as one of the top priorities of Gov. Peter Shumlins 2012-2015 Strategic Plan for Vermont.
The community workshop tour will stop in Rutland from 2 to 5 p.m. Wednesday at the College of St. Joseph.
The event is hosted by the Rutland Economic Development Corporation and the Vermont Department of Economic Development.
Jamie Stewart, executive director of the Rutland Economic Development Corporation, said REDC was working with the state to attract participants.
Were helping the state organize the event, helping communicate the event and get as many people to participate as possible, Stewart said.
At the workshop, which is open to anybody who wants to help refine the states economic future, the Department of Economic Development will attempt to solicit strategies and tactics for helping Vermonts economy grow in a manner that improves wages and job opportunities, builds business, enhances our quality of life and preserves Vermonts brand, values and natural resources, according to a press release.
Among those attending will be stakeholders representing the interests of businesses, nonprofits, the community, and the citizens of the state.
Shumlin, in his Strategic Plan for Vermont, identified creating good jobs and building wages as one of his priorities. Ideas on how to do that will be one of the keys to focus on at the workshop.
I think thats the whole point of a CEDS process, Stewart said. The process requires significant input from a broad range of people at the community level. The CEDS process is meant to be very inclusive.
The Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy committee will meet regularly, in addition to holding the regional meetings, in order to come up with a plan that will be forwarded to Shumlin for his review.
A final plan is expected to be released next summer.
Stewart said there may be economic development grants in the future from the U.S. Economic Development Administration as a result of the process.
But more importantly, its a chance for more people to participate in the discussion of what (our priorities are), Stewart said.
More details on the process, frequently asked questions, a schedule of all meetings, and examples of regional plans can be found online at www.ThinkVermont.com by clicking on Strategic Planning on the left side of the page.
If you are not able to attend but would like to be heard, you can submit comments to Lisa Gosselin, commissioner at the Department of Economic Development, at email@example.com.

Teens, Millennials Prefer YouTube To Facebook, Instagram To Twitter [STUDY]
74 percent of 14-18 year-olds and 68 percent of 19-24 year-olds in the U.S. use YouTube, which is above Facebook and significantly more than Twitter, reveals a new study from The Intelligence Group.
60 percent of 14-18 year-olds and 67 percent of 19-24 year-olds use Facebook, compared to 31 percent of 14-18 year-olds and just 28 percent of 19-24 year-olds who are active on Twitter, suggests the poll. And while Facebook has a 72 percent share of 25-34 year-olds versus YouTube's 62 percent. YouTube is the top platform overall amongst 14-34 year-old users.
Of note: Instagram (and even iTunes) is more popular than Twitter across all young demographics in the U.S.

Award-winning '14 Stations of the Cross' by Artist Leonard Porter Available in Archival Giclées
Catholic PRWire
Segnatura Fine Arts offers an edition of the ecclesiastical commissioned masterpiece that is affordable to a wider audience; continues free-shipping offer
NEW YORK, NY (February 8, 2012) - Contemporary artist Leonard Porter's award-winning, oil-on-canvas "14 Stations of the Cross," commissioned by and installed at the Church of Christ the King in New Vernon, N.J., is now available from Segnatura Fine Arts in a specially created giclée collection.
Porter's original, custom-framed 12"x16" paintings won the 2011 Merit Design Award from the American Institute of Architects' Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art and Architecture. John Varriano, writing in Sacred Architecture (Issue 20 2011), said Porter's Stations "breathe new life into a seemingly forgotten idiom, and do so with a unique sense of thoughtful and spirited grandeur."
The "14 Stations" archival-quality giclée set is available in five sizes, from 12" to 32" tall, at prices from $8,960 to $23,800 (depending on size and framing option chosen) – a fraction of the cost of the original work. Shipping within the Continental U.S. is free. Initially, the free-shipping offer was to be through the end of 2011, but it has been indefinitely extended to provide additional savings.
The giclées "maintain the color, tonal and textural integrity of the original," said New York-based Porter, who was the 2006 recipient of the prestigious Arthur Ross Award for Excellence in the Classical Tradition, presented by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art. "My purpose in creating them was to make this detailed work more affordable to a wider audience of parishes, organizations and religious individuals," he continued. "So much of the Stations art on the market today lacks depth, and, I believe, diminishes the power and meaning of what the work represents."
Porter, who, along with historian Denis McNamara, Ph.D., provides rich commentary to each Station at Segnatura.com, has created works of antiquity and Classical mythology that have been exhibited in museums and galleries around the country and abroad. He has created ceiling designs for residential interiors, allegorical oil paintings, and large-scale, complex ecclesiastical murals.
Among Porter's other best-known commissioned projects are a 21-foot-wide triptych altarpiece, "Christ Revealing His Sacred Heart with Saints and Angels," for St. Joseph's Cathedral in Sioux Falls, S.D.; and a 16-foot x10-foot mural, "Christ in Majesty, " based on the Book of Revelation, for St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Fort Worth, Texas.
The artist notes that his inspiration for the name "Segnatura" is the Room of the Segnatura in the Vatican, which contains Raphael's most famous frescoes.

New office building slated for Morrisville
Commercial Real Estate

With three lease contracts in-hand, Duke Realty Corp. (NYSE: DRE) today announced that it will begin construction on its Perimeter Two office building at Perimeter Park in Morrisville, the company's first speculative office development in the region in five years.
Construction of the five-story, Class A office building, which will be an almost mirror image to Duke Realty's 205,000-square-foot Perimeter One building in Morrisville, is slated to begin in June with completion in June of 2014. Perimeter One opened in 2007 and is fully occupied.
The Perimeter Two building is 50 percent preleased to three companies, including:
• Fujifilm Medical Systems, a medical image and information technology company, will occupy 42,456 square feet;
• Compliance Implementation Services, a consulting firm for life sciences companies, which will lease 23,089 square feet; and
• MaxPoint Interactive, a digital advertising technology company, which has signed a lease for 32,715 square feet.
Jeff Sheehan, senior vice president of Duke Realty's Raleigh operations, stated in a news release that Perimeter Park currently has very limited available space for growing corporate tenants, and with the space commitments by the three companies, "the timing is right to begin this new facility."
Perimeter Two will be located on a pad-ready site along the recently extended Carrington Mill Boulevard, which now runs through Perimeter Park from Highway 54 to Slater Road
The building will have 42,000-square-foot floor plates, and the exterior of the building will be composed of architectural precast concrete and glass panels.
Indianapolis-based Duke Realty ranks as the largest commercial real estate landlord in the Triangle with 6.3 million square feet of office, flex, industrial and medical office properties in the region.

Rate Dr. Melanie Pratt
Dr. Melanie Pratt's Ratings
Dr. Melanie Pratt is the worst dermatologist I have ever been to in my life. Her bedside manner is horrendous. She has no time for patients (and I don't need a lot of attention, i.e. I am not demanding). I went in for mole removal and it was a total hack job. It took about four months to heal properly and there is still a lot of scar tissue for a simple removal. And even though I wasn't there for acne, which I don't have, she wanted to put me on a strong drug that required a baseline liver function test and then monthly tests thereafter. When I suggested that I wasn't there to see her for the skin on my face (which truly is not bad) she insulted me and said it required treatment. When I said I wasn't interested in any treatment that required me to take an oral pill so strong that it required liver function tests she was exasperated and I could tell found the fact that I had a position very annoying. Again, remember, I didn't even go in to see her for my skin, I went for a mole removal. I will never go back to her.

I've also been through patch testing with Dr. Pratt's staff (they are wonderful), ending with a consult from Dr. Pratt (our first meeting). I am not normally one of those people who need to have a "meaningful relationship" with a doctor; I just want answers. However, I have to say that I am thoroughly disappointed with the way I was treated by Dr. Pratt. She simply was NOT willing to answer my questions about the diagnosis of my patch testing.. She was too rushed and told me that all the other red welts on my back were "irrelevant". She said they werent welts, that it was dye (I know the difference between itchy welts and staining - maybe if she looked herself she would have seen them). But the kicker is that she diagnosed me with a secondary condition (on top of the allergies) that I've never had symptoms/precursors/genetic history for. She gave me zero information on that particular condition - just had her student write me a script. I was stunned at her "dismissal" of my question/concern, and then she abruptly left the room.
So I asked her students my question and one of them answered the question by saying that I probably dont have the secondary condition, but if I did, its hard to detect anyway. Whatever is wrong with me, it would be treated the same way.
So... Pratt's student dismissed the secondary diagnosis, yet told me to "trust him that Dr. Pratt was right as she was world renowned and knows her stuff". I'm sorry, that is not an answer, that is an excuse. If I could get a second opinion, I would... but as the student told me, Dr. Pratt is the only doctor in town that does this.

Very happy with dr pratt. I was in pretty bad conditions before I started being treated by dr Pratt. She really knows her thing. Definitely recommend her. I saw other dermatologist before, she is the only one that took the time to test me correctly. I was allergic to the meds my previous doc prescribed.

My husband saw Dr. Pratt in Kemptville earlier this week to have a cancer removed from his chest. After much confusion, cancelled appointment and a last minute appointment change, he arrived to a cold abrupt reception. Durning Dr Pratt's rushed manner she complained about the amount of his chest hair, froze the area and proceeded to lift his chest hair and clip away. She cut his chest which bled profusely. She hacked the cancer lesion out stitched him and sent him on his way. There was no apology. She was obviously in a rush, my husband is paying the price as he now has two wounds to heal from. We will not be back, ever.

I found Dr. Pratt to be very caring, efficient and helpful. Her staff was also wonderful and everything was on time. I had some suspicious looking moles and she removed them for biopsy. The procedure was almost painless and I felt comfortable with her throughout the whole process.

I have no idea why the negative comments. I recently saw Dr Pratt at the Kemptville hospital and my experience was very positive. Her nurse was warm and welcoming and the doctor was kind thorough and very professional Answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. I think it would be truly awful if one could comment on a website about what I am like everyday at my job. Some days are better than others. I would highly recommend her if you want a thorough doctor. Perhaps one should consider another doctor if one wishes to be mollycoddled

I believe Dr. Pratt knows her stuff, but she also seems very closed to possible alternative approaches. After running the gamut of tests she could offer, after a few months of light therapy, finally she gave me my walking papers with the vague diagnosis of "neuro-dermatitis", which seems to be a catch-all label that means "I don't know". I was no further ahead. However, the actual help for my acute skin problems came from Environmental Medicine specialist, Dr. Ross Mickelson. Skin problems often have their origin inside our bodies, but most dermatologists tackle it from the outside. The candida diet and a series of liver cleanses did the trick. I would not recommend her, except if you want to rule out a host of conditions. For that she was okay. Didn't like her manner though. I found her patronizing, not a doctor you could consult with easily. She nearly jumped down my throat when I mentioned trying more natural skin creams.

Had patch test done and found Dr. Pratt to be concise, knowledgable, pleasant, to-the-point, answered a couple questions for me and was very helpful. She is a very busy person with patients, research, training new doctors/medical students, and organizing conferences and can see why her phone's message box is full and why she doesn't have time to chat and visit with patients. Many questions could be answered by Googling Patch Test to see what it consists of. Pick your top question to ask, be precise and if possible do research on it and see if the answers are available on the internet. I do not see what all the negative comments are about. She knows her stuff, she is a specialist of the first order and we're lucky to have her in Ottawa.

Dr.Pratt is efficient and thorough. Yes, she doesn't really sugar coat things but I would way rather know everything and feel like my doctor is competent and covering all of our bases that be treated like a teddy bear. She wa quickly able to diagnose a condition that I had been struggling with for months and started treatment immediately. As with all the specialists in this area, she seems to be under a time crunch but even when she squeezed an appointment in for me, she took the time to answer all of my questions about a new and scary condition. I'm thankful to be under her care.
