Dr. Santana Vandyke, MD

I asked over and over for her do a biopsy. She said no there’s no reason just put cortisol cream on it. Cortisol cream suppresses the immune system I said I was like to know what we are dealing with before I start suppressing my immune system..,,she said no just put cortisol cream on it. So did and it started spreading. Then she finally did a biopsy and never order a basic surgical pathology test! It’s a basic test why was it not order? She said that ordering a surgical pathology test was inappropriate! So they take a piece of my body and tell me a basic test is not appropriate! Can you really be any more physically insulting. I went somewhere else… they did a biopsy and ordered the basic surgical pathology test to find out that I did have skin cancer! If had not suppressed my immune system before knowing or testing or maybe she should have ordered the surgical pathology test then I could have been tested for skin cancer in timely manner…..4 years later still have cancer!

ignorant arrogant incompetent sums it up. You would think someone who just finished school would be able to diagnose the most common STI in America….but no…..it’s easier to just accuse there patients of being of being a drug addict and throw cortisone cream at them instead of just treating them for the disease that they are sitting there taking a picture of. She is such a incompetent arrogant person! Meanwhile I continue to spread the most common STI in America around the Burlington community……because she is incompetent. Uvm medical center is a joke!
