Everyone was incredibly kind, informative and helpful. It was one of the best doctor office experiences I've ever had.

Everyone was very nice!

Time spent with doctor was longer than expected. Doctor said she liked Retin-A Micro.

#32011-03-30 10:03:23

Overall I just appreciated the fact that my variety of issues were addressed, but of course there are always those questions that pop up after the fact. I appreciated the Dr & assistant's attentiveness. I also appreciated that the Dr was very conscience of what meds were pregnancy safe & not.

I have been to a number of derm docs....often it seems as though they have you try this or that but never seem to have a clear plan as to how they will treat ALL of the issues at hand. Thank you for taking the time to address each one of my concerns.
