“I thought the forms needed to be filled out before seeing the doctor were impossible and extremely time-consuming. Very un- user friendly. Even though the doctor seemed knowledgeable about my situation, she appeared to be somewhere else, and really did not want to be bothered, including the nurse! Not a great bedside manner, considering I was struggling with a painful situation. Then I drove an hour to pick up the medicine at my pharmacy, only to find the prescription had not been called in yet. Not a great day! Don't think I will go back to see her again.”

Verified patient
The doctor did not examine me carefully. She just looked at me from where she was standing but that’s not the worse part. I still have not received my medication since the doctor needs to call the insurance to pre authorize it. I called the office and asked to be prescribed a different medication that will be easier to get approved and that has worked perfectly on my skin in the past… still waiting on that too. Zero communication from their part. I just wasted my time going there. It’s as if I didn’t . I will be booking an appointment with a dermatologist in Austin. It will be worth the drive!
Verified patient
great doctor! listened to all my concerns
Verified patient
She was very impatient and kept saying “what else, what else!” Without telling me if I could do something about my skin issues. I didn’t even finish asking my questions I had. She didn’t even spent 5 minutes with me it seemed like she was in a hurry. Waste of time and money.
Verified patient
Every staff member was extremely friendly. Very short wait time. The doctor was extremely knowledgeable and provided great recommendations! Highly recommend!!!
Verified patient
Great experience. Comfortable and friendly atmosphere. I was called back within minutes after arriving and only waited a few minutes for Dr. Ma to come in. She listened carefully and answered my questions. I will definitely go back again.
Verified patient
Dr. Ma is always great. She's friendly and nice and we've always had a great experience with her and the entire office staff.
Verified patient
Excellent care
Verified patient
The visit was okay, but I felt rushed. When I grabbed my phone to check my notes and ask my questions, the doctor was already leaving the room. I barely had time to discuss anything beyond the main reason for my visit, even though I had a full list of concerns. She went into another room, and I didn’t see her again. They asked me to wait for her to finish with another patient, but my appointment didn’t feel complete. I didn’t want to wait for her to come back, so I left feeling frustrated and unheard.
Verified patient
Good doctor. Thoughtful and straightforward.
Verified patient
I’ll go back. Dr Ma is knowledgeable and explains things very well. Did notice that the office needs a cleaning. I notice baseboards.
Verified patient
I had a great experience with this dermatologist and clinic. They answered my questions about Botox and gave good advice and effective treatment.
Although my service was good from the Dr, the process of determining the cost of my screening was vague at best. I was paying out of pocket and before going in, not a single person could tell me how much I would expect to pay. There phone system links to a call center and requires several attempts to get someone on the phone to discuss insurance and self pay with no real clarity. Transparent pricing is critical for people like myself who are self pay and do not have insurance.
Verified patient
Very professional. Highly recommended.
Verified patient
The appointment was quick and easy. After taking a look at my skin she was able to suggest an oral treatment and suggested that we meet again in 3 months.
Verified patient
My visit with Dr. Ma was fantastic. She clearly listened to my concerns and addressed them after a routine mole check. The entire office team was very friendly and pleasant to communicate with. I had all my questions answered. Best of all, I was in and out in under an hour yet felt totally taken care of. I highly recommend this practice, especially Dr. Ma.
Verified patient
Quick and clear. Helpful.
