“My insurance only covered part of the visit to the dermatologist and I wasn't sure exactly why only part of it got covered.”
Liridona B.November 4, 2025
“Dr. Jalpa Patel was very friendly, explained what she was going to do before doing it. Asked if you had any questions. She did not rush you out the door until she knew your questions were answered.
The staff was friendly as well. They made you feel very comfortable.”

They never informed me through here that they wasn't in the office i made an appointment through here and there was nobody at the office waste of time.
September 19, 2024Jianna K.Verified patient
Sadly, I wasted my time driving to the office for the front desk to tell me they do not accept my insurance, when ZocDoc clearly had a green check mark saying they did which is why I booked with them. Then the front desk said that ZocDoc had not updated their system…
