Since September 2019, I have been going to Dr. Anhalt's from time to time. First, I came for a second opinion for itching and redness that I could not get under control with creams prescribed at PAMF. Dr. Anhalt diagnosed me with eczema and eventually prescribed two creams, one for the neck and down and the other for the face (above the neck). Dr. Anhalt's prescriptions allowed me to finally obtain relief. It was huge for me because before, the discomfort would flare up as soon as I went to bed, and I could not sleep. I had enough of sleep difficulties stemming from other conditions to have, on top of them, an itch that would not go away. I am so grateful to Dr. Anhalt. He also took the time to educate me on the proper use of steroids and the safe duration of their use so that I would obtain not just short-term relief but freedom from flare-ups for many months at a stretch. I still get flare-ups, but now they come infrequently (once a year - about that often), usually triggered by stress, and I have an arsenal of tools at home to nip the problem in the bud quickly. I always take the creams Dr Anhalt prescribed on trips, just in case. I have never had a flare-up during a trip, which is probably because I am so well-prepared. So that is about the treatment of my skin condition. But my gratitude for Dr Anhalt stretches further. He did sclerotherapy for me ONCE, several years ago, and eliminated all unsightly spider veins behind my knees. ONE and DONE. I have recommended this procedure to women in one of my Facebook groups that has members across the world as an example of its effectiveness and provided pictures of my legs from behind. They could not believe that I used to have veins there. And the thing is, I had had veins under the knees and had had them since middle school (!). And now, all gone. For me, it is very important to have smooth skin on the back side of my legs, and it gives me confidence everywhere: in the bedroom, in the gym, wearing bike shorts, and stepping out in knee-length midi skirts or A-line dresses. Dr Anhalt was not the first one to do sclerotherapy for me. Prior to him, I had had it done at a med spa. Several times, once a year. I was told that this procedure needed upkeep at least once a year. And I was told that I did not need to wear compression stockings afterward. Dr. Anhalt, citing research, insisted that I wear compression stockings after the procedure, day and night, without taking them off. He directed me to a store for disability-related products to buy the stockings. It was uncomfortable in them but well worth it - they made the outcome so much better, and I do NOT need upkeep procedures. In fact, Dr Anhalt was surprised when I asked initially when I would need to have it done again. "Never", he said. And so far, so good - no complaints. I could not quite believe the difference - this doctor charged me less (!) than at the med spa and eliminated the problem once and for all, ensuring I followed the uncomfortable but necessary research-based protocol. At the med spa, they were essentially milking me for money yearly via first "allowing me" to be comfortable (they cited their own research which ostensibly proved that with or without compression stockings did not matter) and this way also making sure that I would then need to come again. Had I not seen Dr. Anhalt for this procedure, I would have continued to increase the med spa's profit margins and wasted my time doing repeat procedures when one, done correctly, was all that I needed. Now that I have come back to Yelp to update my review based on my own experience, I have scanned negative reviews, and my jaw dropped. Dr. Anhalt is the funniest, kindest, effervescently brilliant man and an asset to our local patient community for medical care and cosmetic needs.
