Dr. Liszewski is enthusiastic about his job and a matter-of-fact in his approach. I liked that he didn’t tell me to stop dyeing my hair. Instead, he pointed out that he could give me alternatives to things I’m allergic to , even before the patch testing was conducted. He was also flexible with my work schedule. He managed to make a last-minute change to accommodate my needs. Thank you!
