“Dr Bussell not only an amazing dermatologist, but she also is very kind and compassionate. I would refer her to anyone. Her staff is as great and very organized.”

“Dr Bussell's office is excellent because they take skin cancer very seriously and are pros in this area, yet their nurses also offer the vanity treatments we all love, like botox and injectables. It's hard to find a good cancer doctor whose office does both well, and Dr Bussell's office seems to be the answer I've been looking for.”

Did not seem to have any interest in my actual lifestyle or routine. Was recommended a whole new skincare line and chemical peel that I did not need or ask for. And the kicker is that the skincare products are Dr. Bussell’s own line. Felt duped the whole time and left with nothing.

Actual appointment was fine, however I was placed with a PA as opposed to the Doctor. They stated they called me and left a voicemail to notify me of this, but I never received a call or voicemail. The wait time was also long. Lastly, they implemented an “administrative” fee which is not mentioned on ZocDoc. This is on top of a co-pay and insurance.

Great dermatologist. Very thorough.
Wait time can vary. Expert. The confirmation reminder for appointment is not automated. Easy parking across the street for free. Easy to
Book an appointment. Covered all of my concerns.

I was seen promptly and received a thorough exam. The staff, friendly but professional, helped me feel at ease and understand their concerns and procedures.

I went to the appointment but when I arrived in the clinic they said they did not accept my insurance. They should have called me or canceled my appointment for I traveled through traffic to get there..

Amazing and compassionate doctor. She spent so much time with me. I’ve had a lot of systemic symptoms and have seen a lot of doctors and she is without a doubt the most kind and compassionate doctor I’ve come across.

This was my first time ever seeing a dermatologist and doing a full body exam. All the staff made me feel very comfortable and were very friendly. I really enjoyed my visit with Julie, she was very attentive and answered all my questions. Dr. Bussell was very sweet and you can tell she cares about her patients. Overall great first experience, definitely will be coming back.

A perfect experience
October 14, 2023Richard A.Verified patient
The doctor was really sweet and comforting at our first appointment
I made an urgent first visit cause I woke up with a rather unpleasant to look at and painful breakout.
She had me sorted out in no time and put together a perscription- free acne treatment plan to start with which I really appreciated.
