Seems to me like you've just got a shitty doctor then. Since he's the one telling the PA to see you and not him.

And my god, it's not like they've never seen and dealt with acne before at the fricking dermatologist.

That is very frustrating. As someone that works in healthcare, I can't say I've ever heard or experienced that.

Are you in BR? Dermatology clinic is top notch

Have some docs for clients, they tell me that you never want to see them bc it means there's something "concerning" or over the head of the NP or PA.

Welcome to your future health care model. As more people have access to health care (free/subsidized insurance) and you have the same number of doctors, expect there to be more mid level providers to triage/see the "easy" pts, regardless of what type of insurance you have.
