What WE DID WELL
(Answers:674)
Didn't have to wait long to see to get into the room, or for the doctor to come in. The doctor & medical assistant took the time to explain the medications, when I should take them, how much I should use and what they would do to my skin.

#82025-07-01I liked the relaxing atmosphere, and the service. All the women were wonderful, and the doctor- especially- was friendly, and very helpful. I did not feel at all uncomfortable or nervous, as I normally do at a doctors visit. The assistant was wonderful, and they worked great as a team. The visit was painless, quick, and very easy. Thank you! I'll certainly be back and recommend this office to my friends and family as well. :)
#92025-05-12Beautiful offfice. Doctor was thorough but quick, which was great
#102011-04-04 11:16:27What can we do better?
(answers:373)
Less wait time for an appointment.
#12010-11-17 15:23:04keep up the good work. you have an excellent service and your office is great
#22025-03-16more than adequate service!
#32025-09-01How about a smile to greet a brand new patient? How about explaining that I need to go and fill out info on the computer instead of pointing over there you need to complete things. I felt like walking out by the rudeness. The medical assistant and phys asst were extremely kind, thorough and helpful. I realized that I was here to seek help for my child and received amazing medical help. Thank you.
#42011-07-11 11:52:49Completely satisfied
#52010-10-20 09:59:20It would be helpful to have some later evening hours, but the early morning hours work for me too!
#62025-05-17No complaints - overall best experience at any dermatologist.
#72011-09-27 12:59:17I can't think of a single thing to make it better!
#82025-06-03No complaints at all, but since you asked, receptionist today could have been "warmer"
