Where do I even begin?! I came to Dr. Schroeder desperate for answers for a scalp problem I’ve been dealing with for over a year. She was the 4th dermatologist I had been to in a year. I was wrongly diagnosed by 3 other dermatologist and as you can imagine, desperate for answers. I had severe scalp pain, burning, itching and diffuse hair loss. Dr. Schroeder actually took the TIME to listen to me, my history and let me decided the level of aggression we were going to take in order to find answers. After listening to me she suggested it might be nerve damage due to sun exposure from previously working outside in South Florida. It was something no other doctor had thought of, but also no other dermatologist took the time to listen to me or my history. When my biopsy came back it was confirmed nerve damage. (Also, Cheryl came in during my scalp biopsy to hold my hand as it was mildly uncomfortable). I cannot tell you the RELIEF I felt to finally have answers to why I was losing hair and dealing with pain for over a year. During my check up visit I made time to tell her how thankful I was that she took the time to listen to me and ask the right questions. I gave her a hug, so overjoyed that I finally had an answer. It is very difficult as a young woman to manage scalp pain, itching and hair loss. I’m thankful I didn’t stop searching for answers and a real doctor. She will be my dermatologist as long as I live in the springs. Thank you so so much for listening to me like a friend!
