Dr. Sorrell was incredibly warm and professional during my annual skin screening appointment. She answered my questions about some of my concerns and provided helpful information about sunscreen use. I so appreciated that she took her time during the exam to ensure that each mole was checked and monitored. Highly recommend!

Dr.Sorrel and her team were perfect and exactly what the comments suggested! She asked many questions and gave me the floor to speak, but when she figured out how to move forward she went through every step, allowed me to ask questions, and voice every concern. She did not rush me although she talks very fast ha! Excited to be working with her to get my skin in order! I have full trust in her. For appointments, if booking last min, If you don’t hear from her team the day before be sure to reach out. Mine was a last min zocdoc booking and I don’t think it was brought over in time - which is completely understandable. Her team called and let me know and we rescheduled. Great experience through and through!

Doctor Sorelle was nice and gave me good advice. The visit was a little rushed in my opinion. I was given about only 10 minutes to describe my condition and receive feedback to treat it. I did not get a call back with the information I was supposed to receive yet.

Took my 17yo to have a mole looked at. Dr. Sorrell referred by our pediatrician. She did not disappoint. Great with my kid. Great with us. Efficient. Modern offices. We felt well cared for. Just awesome. Would highly recommend.

The doctor came in with someone else. The other person wasn’t introduced. I went in for a full body examination and had a couple of other questions, but the examination was done and the doctor was out. I wasn’t able to ask about my specific questions. The appointment was quick.

Dr. Sorrell was great, as was her assistant Jamie. Skin check was quick and easy, and she answered all my questions about acne. I've been to a bunch of dermatologists whom I felt barely examined me and didn't really listen to my questions about changing medications etc. Dr. Sorrell was a wonderful departure from that.
More than 1 year agoKimberly A.Verified patient
I really enjoyed my visit with Dr. Sorrell and would recommend her to friends. She was really friendly, answered all my questions, gave me full explanations, listed out all the options for me for the things I had in question and was very clear and honest about the possible outcome of each option. Looking forward to my next visit!

Acne is a sensitive topic for me, but seeing Dr. Sorrell's enthusiasm for figuring out the issue and finding a solution made me feel confident and excited about our treatment plan!

Dr Sorrel is so knowledgeable and friendly, down to earth and gave me easy solutions for my issue. The receptionists seem kind of snappy and inconvenienced by you

Dr Jennifer Sorrell is so lovely. She really listened to my needs & made me feel so comfortable. She is the best dermatologist I have ever seen. I really recommend her.
December 8, 2020Harriet S.Verified patient
I appreciated how thorough Dr. Sorrell was when explaining the treatment plan. The appt did feel slightly rushed but I think because I was basically getting a tx plan that I was previously on from a different dermatologist that had worked well for me.

I saw Dr. Jennifer Sorrell and it was my first derm visit so I was nervous! She was very cheerful, informative and professional. She answered all of my questions and even gave me extra information. Space was very clean and I felt very comfortable. I will definitely be returning here for my yearly visits and anything else I need.
