Dr. Gropen was friendly and professional. I explained my concerns to her, and was offered a remedy. She actually cared about me as a patient; I felt that I was more than just a co-pay. I will continue my follow-up care as instructed.

Visit went well but quickly
Scheduled for three surgical visits including three biopsies. Picked up some hydrocortisone for other skin things... This is just first visit... So far so good

Dr. Gropen was great! However, it took a long time for them to come in and take a culture. It would have been nice if this was done right away instead of making me sit in the room for 20 mins.
May 5, 2015Sara R.Verified patient
Spent very little time and was overcharged. Be very leery of asking for services. Services offered at no charge by others will be charged for here.

Great visit.
January 26, 2015Aline M.Verified patient
She was very nice and listened to what I had to say. Though she didn't know what was going on with my skin, she didn't give me any reason to worry. She remained calm and smiled.
October 20, 2014Jessica L.Verified patient
I had an excellent consult with Dr. Gropen about several skin issues that need care. She listened, paid attention to my previous medical history and current problems then provided a treatment plan and appointments in a reasonable time for procedures.
The staff was efficient, prompt and welcoming.
Dr Gropen is a knowledgeable, friendly and communicative physician who seems to expect excellence from herself and excellent outcomes for her patients.
Now I'm extremely positive about the care provided today and offered in the future - after considerable worry about finding it.
I've seen and worked with a lot of physicians and more recently dermatologists in my 7 + decades, and I think she's among the BEST.

Great, as usual. She knows what she's doing, takes time to ask questions and to explain things, and listens to what I have to say.

They are very kind but the waiting time is not great I waited inside the room for the dr. For about 30 min. For just a 5 min talk. And then waited another 5 to 10 min. For the nurse to come in to give me the perception ...

I have to say the staff was courteous and Dr. Gropen was a total sweetheart. She was able to answer all my questions and calm any worries that I had. I would recommend anyone to see her.
