That's Quite a Resume, Dr. Kovelman

Nestled between a marijuana dispensary and the mysterious Nude Paris House on Santa Monica Boulevard sits this non-descript little medical building:
bigger

It would have gone unnoticed if not for a red light backup earlier this week, when I made a fateful glace over to my right and, to my delight, spied this:

Apologies for the small size, for those of you who can’t make it out, this sign publicizes the services of Rozalia Kovelman M.D. who specializes in Dermatology & Allergy and Venereal Disease.

Some things to consider when visiting Dr. Kovelman’s office:

- When settling on Dr. Kovelman for dermatological services, you might want to wait until you have a full-blown acne breakout before making an appointment.

- You should ask Dr. Kovelman to wash her hands a second, third and maybe fourth time before administering your allergy scratch test. No one wants a stubborn case of gonorrhea on his/her shoulder. Especially in Los Angeles, where it’s always tank-top weather.

- If seeking relief for an animal dander allergy, please specify that it's your nose that is dripping when filling out the symptom questionnaire. You'd be surprised how big a difference that can make.

- When checking in, loudly proclaim that you’re suffering from horrible seasonal allergies and have an irregular mole you want checked out. Kovelman is used to patients adding “it burns like hot lava when I pee” after she asks if there’s anything else you had concerns about.

Let’s be safe out there, kids!
