September 13, 2025Nicole C.Verified patient
Although I was nervous to meet with the doctor, she quickly put my nerves to rest. She explained everything to me so I could understand. I had a small in-office procedure. She worked with an assistant and quickly attended to me. My appointment was for 12:30. I was back in my car at 12:38. I will continue to use Dr. Caracola as my dermatologist.

Alyssa is great! This was my second appointment with her, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is extremely thorough and patient, always going above and beyond to ensure patients feel comfortable during procedures. Her face peel recommendation transformed my skin, and the post-treatment regimen she provided has continued to maintain my results.

March 20, 2025Dominick C.Verified patient
I recently visited for a VI Peel, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and professional. PA Caracola took the time to thoroughly explain the process, aftercare and what to expect with my results.
She didn’t just focus on the peel but also discussed multiple options to help me achieve my skincare goals. I never felt rushed, and her expertise was evident in how she tailored recommendations specifically for my skin type and concerns.
The VI Peel itself was a smooth process, and I’m already seeing glowing results! I truly appreciate the care and attention to detail & will be back.
