George R. Woodbury Jr, MD

I would avoid this Dr at all costs. I went to him because he was the only in-​network dermatologist without a huge wait for an appointment (a red flag I obviously ignored). Within seconds of seeing a spot told me I needed to have it removed and left the room. Horrible bedside manner doing the removal and I ended up with a staph infection. Sweet. After the staph infection healed, I was later shocked to discover two sutures they completely missed embedded into my skin. That was a joy to remove.
I have been receiving his horrible newsletter ever since, as a side note. No one cares, George, no one cares.

Let’s just say that social skills and communication skills are definitely not this guy’s forte. He’s obviously very smart based on the Ivy League diplomas on his wall, but that does not a good clinician make. He spends 90% of the appointment time banging away typing on the computer in the corner of the treatment room and the other 10% talking about his 3 kids and a newsletter he writes. I’ve seen this same pattern and heard the same oddball one-​sided conversation from him during each of the three times I’ve been there … and I won’t be going back. Bedside manner matters — and this guy has none.

I waited in the waiting room for 3 hours and when I got in the back, he looked at my mole for a second and went straight to his computer and started typing and typing and then he told me I needed to have a plastic surgeon to remove it. I thought maybe it was just me, so I went a second time and the same thing happened again. I will never ever see this doctor again. I paid him for him to tell me to go to a plastic surgeon. Waste of time and money.

DO NOT GO SEE THIS DOCTOR! You will be waiting in the waiting room for hours, horrible bed side manner by the time you are seen and the doctor won’t even look at your condition but will write you a prescription for what you need ONE TIME. For every refill you have to go back to see him, he will not write a simple topical acne medication for longer than a year or two in my experience.

Dr. Woodbury didn’t make eye contact with me but stared at his computer while he typed advice and rambled. He didn’t even look at my skin until I asked him to. Granted, the medicines he gave me fixed my skin problems, but I would have rather gone to a doctor who paid attention to me, the patient. I was honestly so frustrated during my appointment that I could have screamed.

Ok, I usually don’t complain about doctors, but this is what people need to know. My husband went in for a couple things. Two moles I was worried about. They were the smallest moles maybe a tiny dot. He came home from the removal & I asked my husband if he took enough away (sarcastic) he looked at them & they were about three inches long & deep. He asked the doctor why so big & he said its because he wanted to make sure if it was cancerous he got it all. I wanted to say & then some extra, extra on top of that. We returned to get sutures & the area was scabbing over already. I was worried they kind of looked like they were opening up. Nurse removed the stitches & the doctor came & looked at them for a second. After a 2 hour wait or longer. We then went home & over the next two weeks it was still red around the area. Finally a piece of the scab came off & there were two buried sutures. I dug them out & it was oozing a little. I cleaned it, kept medicines on it. Then the second one still has a stitch that we will just go back to my husbands regular doctor, because we are afraid that he will redo the area & hack more off. He is more interested in his computer & consent forms, so that should tell you something. His nurses are great & I feel for them. Glad that these areas are on his back, cause they are going to have huge scars. I have had moles removed three times the size of my husbands & have tiny suture sight that you can’t even see. Glad he didn’t touch my husbands face! Going to get a referral to another one in the area. Hope this helps!

Dr. Woodbury gets the job done… you just have to wait forever and a day for it to happen. This doctor is habitually late. I’m talking about *2* HOURS late. This is my experience *every single time* I go. And thats just the waiting room. Then you get to go wait in the little room… and then, FINALLY, the good doctor enters. He looks at you for about 2 seconds, sits in front of his computer, typing away, gives you a free sample as a parting gift, and you’re done. This isn’t just my bad experience, either. If you check him out on some of these doctor-​review-​type sights, you will see this is a typical visit. Yesterday’s 2 hour wait was my final straw. I’ll be seeking care elsewhere. My time is just as valuable as any doctor’s.
