“Erika was so lovely! I visited her for a skin cancer screening and to have a skin growth removed. Dr. was able to address all my concerns in one visit. I had several small moles removed. I was in and out very quickly and felt like my visit was very thorough. The whole team was welcoming and kind. Highly recommend Erika to anybody looking for a new dermatologist :) ”

“I’m a new patient here and had a positive first visit with Erika. She’s super nice and I instantly felt at ease with her. The nurse assistant Cassidy was friendly too and the receptionist welcoming. The procedure done to me went on very smoothly.”

I recently had an appointment with Erika for a persistent skin issue that I had been struggling with. I was impressed by her professional demeanor and efficient approach.
Erika quickly diagnosed my problem, providing clear and concise explanations. She prescribed a treatment that was easy to follow, and my skin issue began to resolve within just a few days after following her advice.
I am incredibly grateful to Erika for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking dermatological care. Her efficiency and professionalism are commendable, and I can't thank her enough for the relief she has provided me.
