The doctor was good, she addressed my concerns. I didn't enjoy waiting 30 minutes to be seen, but overall it was okay.

I arrived 10 minutes before the appointment and I was received right away. Solved the issue in less than a min. I spend at least 3 mins in the office.

Ariel is the epitome of what all medical professionals should be! She is kind, attentive and makes even the most unpleasant treatments easy & (as strange as it may sound) joyful. She is a beacon of light & positivity. 100/10 would (and will) recommend!

Great experience! Very efficient and appreciated that they were on time - some places have you waiting an hour plus. Very seamless appointment. Would go back.

I found this office via ZocDoc as I needed an appointment right away (and it was the Friday after July 4th) and would be traveling soon.
I was able to get a same day appointment .
Ariel Dai, PA saw me and we reviewed everything and she gave clear and concise explanations for my treatment plan.
I may switch to this office as my regular dermatologist.
Highly recommended.

May 29, 2024Rebecca T.Verified patient
First time going to a dermatologist so wasn't sure what to go in for. Then again, that's what they're for. It was nice to address some concerns that didn't seem so outstanding before. She's a great listener and I felt safe and taken cared of. ??

Ariel is very knowledgeable, informative, and friendly. I had several issues, and she addressed each one of them with patience and expertise. The staff was quite helpful and friendly as well. The office was organized and clean. I didn't have to wait long even though I arrived late. An overall excellent experience and I will highly recommend her to my friends.
