Verified patient
Unfortunately, my experience was not good. I had an appointment to have some cysts removed from my skin, and the doctor didn't dedicate any time to asking me questions, showed no interest whatsoever, and made me feel like I wasn't an important patient to her. She was with me for no more than 5 minutes and said she didn't remove cysts, which isn't true, and referred me to another doctor in another city. She showed zero interest and respect for the patient. I wouldn't recommend this doctor .
Verified patient
I felt safe and well taken care of.
Verified patient
Angela is a fantastic provider. She is very professional and a great listener. I did not feel rushed and I felt she gave me ample time to talk through my skin issues. She gave me a solid medication and topical regimen for adult acne. She also performed a wart removal and made me feel calm in an otherwise uncomfortable situation. Highly recommend.
Verified patient

Verified patient
I felt that I was listened to and felt comfortable asking questions. Hopefully, the medication will work. Will return to same provider.
Angela was amazing! She was patient. She listened to understand instead of listening just to respond. She took her time and thought before she spoke. She made sure to explain my diagnosis as well as the next steps I should take in a way that helped me to understand the urgency in which I should take those next steps. When she asked if there were any more questions, I didn't feel like I was being rushed to hurry up and give an answer. I will absolutely go to her again and recommend her.
Verified patient

Very friendly office staff. Provider was thorough during my visit. Her assistants were equally friendly and listened well too.
