“This was the best dermatology Dr I've ever seen in my life! He listened and addressed the problem and was honest and polite and professional. This is the only office I will ever go to for any dermatology problems. Our plan on telling everybody!”

“I uploaded my ID with the insurance information in ZocDoc but the staff did not see any of it. It delayed the process. The office should manage the waiting time better since it took 1 hours before i see the doctor.”

February 12, 2026Ki-Jin Y.Verified patient
The appointment felt extremely rushed. I waited a long time only to have a very brief visit where my concerns did not seem to be fully heard or addressed. The provider appeared disengaged and quickly recommended topical treatments that could have been found with minimal research. Overall, the experience felt impersonal, and I would recommend seeking a provider who takes the time to listen and care about their patients.
February 4, 2026Risha R.Verified patient
Dr. Patel is terrific. My only complaint about today’s visit is that I was kept waiting for nearly 40 Minutes before being seen, while many other patients who came after me were seen and left before my name was called (admittedly they may have been seeing other doctors in the practice), and there was no explanation forthcoming from anyone.
