I arrived for my appointment 15 minutes early with all my paperwork ready. It was a 9am appointment. I’ve been waiting 45 minutes so far and haven’t even made it to the exam room
Frustrating they are almost an hour behind at 9am. Front desk told me “we are really busy first thing in the morning “?
I will not be returning
October 10, 2019Teri T.Verified patient
Great. Everyone was very nice, quickly checked in and with doctor. She explained everything she was going to do and ensured my questions were anwsered.
October 2, 2019Margo T.Verified patient
I felt like I was being rushed during my appointment . I understand the Dr. probably has a lot more interesting and difficult cases to deal with, but I wasn’t even offered additional information or asked if I had additional questions. However, it is a beautiful and clean office and her assistant (I do not recall her name) was very friendly and caring.

December 6, 2017Lorraine G.Verified patient
My overall experience was a positive one. The doctor was clear and concise and very efficient. She was up to date on current treatments and made me feel a lot more comfortable talking about different skin concerns.
She also seemed to understand that some concerns were more cosmetic and confidence related than anything. She also didn't make me feel like a hypochondriac as I asked about a variety of things that concerned me with my skin.
November 23, 2017Aubrey C.Verified patient

June 19, 2015Lieselotte P.Verified patient
This is my second time seeing Dr. Machnau and I am very happy with her. Her recommendations are based on my (the patient's) best interest - not on any procedure that may be more than needed to achieve my personal goals.
She is very polite, focused, and a pleasure to meet with.
March 3, 2015David M.Verified patient
I waited 45 minutes, and she hurried through the skin cancer exam in 5 minutes. Wouldn't thoroughly answer my questions. Doubt if I would go back to her again.
