Julia is incredible! I rarely feel that heard by doctors, always feel rushed. She took her time and gave thoughtful recommendations to address my concerns! I also appreciated she gave me an action plan.
I’ve now seen two providers at this practice and I had amazing experiences with both of them. Pretty much no wait time, listens to your concerns, reviews various options, provides efficient and effective care. I can’t think of a single thing they need to improve on. I’m so grateful I have switched from my old derm to this practice. I had no idea derm care could be this good! Highly recommend

I must say she was an amazing medical professional, I appreciate her attention to detail and her bedside manner! Everything was explained clearly and succinctly, no stone unturned! She’s absolutely one of the best I’ve seen thus far for dermatology.
Verified patient
Too many Text messages. It was not necessary. Really disturbing. I had a phone call added to the text messages. Really ridiculous, The appointment was great but I'm not sure I would go to the office again because of all the text messages. I wasn't having open heart surgery!
Verified patient
She correctly diagnosed and treated my skin condition, which is obviously the main point of healthcare. So on that front, no complaints. But I felt like she rushed the meeting. I was a new patient and she spent probably 5-7 minutes in the room with me. She thoroughly answered all my questions, which was great. But it was important information that if I didn't bring up, she would not have told me. Overall, she's a fully competent provider who definitely knows what she's doing, and I would send my family to her; just keep in mind that she's a good match for someone who knows how to self-advocate and ask for exactly what they need from her.
I went in for my first dermatology appt in 15+ yrs and she was fantastic. Explained everything very well and even was able to make time to do a mole removal while I was there that wasn’t originally scheduled. Saved me an extra trip :)
Verified patient
Office made me feel comfortable - friendly staff.
Verified patient
I work in the healthcare field and I know firsthand how difficult and demanding the job can be. Similarly as a patient, I can sniff out when a provider is on autopilot. Julie was on autopilot during our entire visit. No eye contact. She came in w/ this aura of wanting to be done w/ the visit. It was as if she’d already done the visit in her head w/out physically assessing me. I was a new patient and she literally spent no more than 6min in the room. Her MA was very kind and essentially took the HPI for her- all she did was come in and regurgitate with the MA said w/out asking me any real questions pertinent to my visit. Even when I told her that I worked in healthcare she choose to not explain how or why she’d come to that conclusion. 1/10-DO NOT GO TO HER IF YOU WORK IN MEDICINE OR IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO HEAR YOU OUT.
I was a bit nervous regarding my skin condition today. I was assured by Julia that I had nothing really to worry about. Julia was kind, easy to speak to and I felt very comfortable leaving my apartment.
Verified patient
Very effective!
Verified patient
Been here in the past and just like before I had a great experience. Staff was friendly and the doctor was great. She took in my consideration regarding my concerns for medication and listened and offer suggestions for other options that would make me feel more comfortable.
Verified patient
The office itself was great and I was seen very quickly. I just felt very condescended to by an unsympathetic and honestly rather rude provider. It was quite upsetting actually as I had specifically sought out a female provider for an issue I was having in a sensitive area, but I felt like I was spoken to as though I was stupid. Maybe their other providers are better
Staff was amazing and very welcoming. I was super nervous about going to the dermatologist for the first time, but Julia Kocemba, PA was phenomenal and helped me answer all my questions during my visit.
Verified patient
This was my first time here and color me impressed! The staff was amazing, I literally was seen within minutes. It was a great experience and I highly recommend
Verified patient
Great Doctor. Highly recommend
Verified patient
Excellent choice. The Dr I chose was not available so they automatically booked me with another Dr in the same office. I showed up an hour early and was out of the office 40 minutes before my appointment even started bcs they were happy to get me in early.
Verified patient
I got to see the doctor right at my appointment. The doctor was very friendly and suggested right kinds of analysis before precise diagnosis.
Verified patient
The provider was highly professional and thoughtful about her diagnoses and recommendations and I'm remarkably grateful for her personalized and insightful advice.
