Bersanta is the Westmoorings pronunciation?

Close but it's most likely something like buh-suhn-tuuh.

Dock-terr MOOR-Gaan Buh-SUHN-Tuuh

Anyhow, had an experience with him and he's definitely the best.

- 3rd place: Skin Health Institute
- 4th place: Dr. Suite
- 5th place: Dr. Khamedaye Maharaj

If I lived in the South/East/Central and worked East/Central: same as above

happy to help. write back and let us know how it goes.

I went miami and got some bumps on my arm and legs from the change in weather .. apparently it's a mild form of eczema. got some cream from Sk!n which sorted me out but was largely due to the weather i think because i stopped using the cream a while now and it never came back. maybe your child's issues are weather related? just speculating.

anyway hope to hear from your experience!

Doctor Maharaj in Serpentine is a young lady. Don’t know too much bout her. She is the one who covers for Abraham sometime. I made mention in the original review of this.

Dr. Khemdaye Maharaj is a old lady. Lol

Two different Maharaj.

All them Indian is the same doh XD

How was the service if you saw the young Maharaj?

I surprised a Indian get a wok in the same field and practice ... you know how them big shot in town like to keep thing to theyself

[randolphinshan]

Dr. Morgan Basanta is good. High steroid use in his practice but you see results.Btw how aulluh fellas always want to see dermatologist so often. One of the first signs of HIV infection is skin rash eh killas so watch your contents.

^The young Dr Maharaj is very very good, highly qualified too!

My son had bad Eczema issues and it turned out to be milk. We stopped ALL dairy and it has gone away for good.

Try to get to the root cause and solve the problem from there.

Stop spreading misinformation. No rash appearing without "flu-like" symptoms. A standalone rash is never a sign of recent HIV infection. Long term HIV infection is a completely different story though as as the body's defense deteriorate then the person will begin to experience various complications which may include a rash.

In short, the only way to know for time is to test at the appropriate time. We see a lot of people diagnosed at the "late-stage" and that's because they never experienced any "symptoms" and never suspected that they were positive. Also, they didn't consider their activities "high risk" even though they constantly engaged in unprotected sex etc. Homosexuals and women make up the majority of people testing positive. Heterosexual men have little to worry about HIV as long as they use protection effectively and consistently. It's also biologically difficult to contract by a heterosexual guy(Still use condoms/protection consistently and properly).

Remeber guys, there's a risk of HIV/STDS as long as you are engaging in unprotected sex(going in raw). As long as condoms are used consistently and correctly that risk becomes basically 0. People are not "risky", activities(unprotected sex) are "risky".

For those people who are considering going to Dr Basanta please think twice. About 5 yrs ago he almost killed my child in San Fernamdo General Hospital. He was the head of the skin clinic there and he prescribed oral steroids for her with out even doing any testing. When she ended up in the hospital he never had the heart to even come and check on her. I would never recommed him to anyone at all.

What exactly happened ? There are plenty side effects of steroids ?

[john5231]

You have to keep your body clean and watch your diet .

Healthy diet and exercise - and stay away from spicy, greasy and oily foods .

Drinks lots water.

Full cream Milk also can bring on bad skin etc.

The pickney SGU tuition dont pay for itself

[The_Honourable]

Didn't have a good experience with Basanta. At the Sando office, he will have you in a room and see 3 or more patients at the same time in other rooms. It's like he's trying to cycle as much patients as possible meaning more $$$ per hour. Was injected with steroids but only got temporary relief for my issue the 1st time. When i queried about going through with another set of injections, he became a bit irritated and asked me if I want help from him because he know what he's doing (or something along those lines lol). Got a second set of injections, but this time nothing happened. After that I stopped with zero results.

Also went to Dr Colin Furlonge at Gulf View Medical. He's nice but you don't get that individual attention. Just watches the site of the issue on your skin, writing a prescription a few seconds later and in less than 5 minutes you are out the door. I'm guessing the shorter the time you see the patient, the more you are able to see per hour meaning more $$$. Steroids also but tablets instead. Next thing you know some enzymes in my liver became elevated because of the steroid use. As i stopped the tablets, plus a bottle of Neutrosec, my liver was back to normal.
