“This is my first visit to Optum, Dermatology department. I was surprised that making an appointment was so easy. I came early and was called in about 10 minutes. Checking in is easy. I did it online, paid my copayment and then I am done. PA Katherine was very nice, explained the possible cause of my problem and contacted the pharmacy where I will get the topical ointment that she prescribed. She did it very quickly and an hour after I received a call from the pharmacy and my medication is ready in 24 hours and will be shipped free the following day. I am very satisfied with the service I received from this office. Thank you.”

The PA was very personable and informative. She listened to my concerns and explained my situation clearly. She printed out information on products I can use. She was very helpful
Having worked in a major hospital, I have worked with countless providers and Katherine is one of the best ones I’ve encountered. She is incredibly engaging and makes the patient feel heard while maintaining a professional and welcoming demeanor. I would gladly recommend Katherine to any of my family or friends that are seeking dermatology care.
