At first I thought this might be just another gimmicky, sensational reality show. NOT the case! Patients come to Dr. Sandra Lee with the most extreme dermatalogical abnormalities that hinder & destroy their lives. These are ordinary human beings with extraordinary challenges that in years past would have destroyed their lives or relegated them to a colony of "lepers". Many are fearful of operations, have no insurance or just don't know where to turn. Enter Dr. Lee-an experienced doctor with wonderful bedside manner. She is not fearful of the most disfiguring skin condition and her caring manner helps her patients feel human again. She uses the latest techniques at her disposal to fix conditions as best as possible.
This is the part where people who cannot stand needles, medical fluids or ugly conditions should shut off the show. But for the rest of the audience who either have some medical training or just enjoy seeing humans regain their dignity, this is a wonderful show.
People who have "normal" skin can no longer take their health for granted. They sometimes complain about the tiniest imperfections, This program shows how lucky are people who simply have "non-malignant" skin.
