June 15, 2022Ida L.Verified patient
Staff was so friendly and I barely had to wait, no waiting for the doctor in the exam room either - probably the most efficient doctor’s appointment I’ve ever had. Dr. Jarell was a great listener, very clear in his recommendations and very personable. It can be easy to feel awkward when you’re getting a skin check at the dermatologist’s and I did not feel that awkwardness at all throughout the whole visit. Also, they gave me a cloth gown rather than a paper one, which was SO appreciated for my own comfort (as well as not feeling so exposed in those paper gowns that basically disintegrate). Would highly recommend to anyone!

Yes yes good
June 12, 2022Randall O.Verified patient
This was the worst doctor I have seen in 73+ years. Showed no interest in me as a patient. His only interest was with the resident he brought in. Barely said hello. Explained nothing until I started asking him things. Removed 2 growths but said nothing about what to expect as to issues with healing, pain, limitations etc. JUST AWFUL!
May 12, 2022Marc S.Verified patient
I am a 55 year old woman who has noticed some irregular skin issues. I looked online for the highest rated office and specialist. NDA was listed with 4 and 5 star rating. I made my appointment online and got an appointment within a few days.
Dr Jarell was doctor that was available and I couldn't be happier. The office was clean.
Reception was friendly and helpful. The PA was friendly and communicated easily. Dr Jarell was on time for the scheduled time of appointment. But that's just the initial part of my appointment. The doctor was super nice and communicated my needs with concern and was easy to understand. The process was exactly what I was looking for and was very comfortable through everything that was performed.
Highly recommend this office and doctor.
