Dermatology is the most profitable medical care business you can have. That's why there are tons of them in Florida's Old Home Town.
I have my family physician look at anything I notice on my skin, first. He agrees dermatologists here are "too aggressive" (aka crooked).

Different experiences lead to different opinions.
As someone who has had a friend die from melanoma and a relative treated for melanoma, I would be very hesitant to label a practice "too aggressive" or "crooked" simply because they found something that ought to be taken care of.
