[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree. My dermatologist recently retired. I received a letter saying the person taking over his practice was “Board certified in dermatology”. I went and had two moles removed. The new “doctor”, who was very nice, turned out to be a nurse practitioner, certified by a nursing board. I was shocked. In reviews people referred to her as “doctor” and the practice had the name “dermatology” in it. I think NPs can be very helpful, but in specialties, she doesn’t have close to the training of a physician dermatologist. Pretty scary.[/quote] Yup. I'm a psychiatrist and there are so many psychiatric NPs out there who have "Psychiatry" all over their websites. And if they have a doctorate in nursing, they call themselves "Dr" as well. I have had many patients who said they were tricked by this. [/quote]
