Boxes all behind the reception area. Plants all along the reception. Looks like pack rat and disorganized.
Was in the room for 30 mins Asstiant walked told me i had to pay my copay,which i expected still not seen by the dermatologist. I asked how long will it be until im seen by the dermatologist. Asstiant said she isn't sure. She asked me is there somewhere I jeed to he i said yes work. Waited another 20 mins the dermatologist walked in with a new Asstiant they didn't even intrusion themselves. Just was asked what was going I'm guessing by the dermatologist. She told me what not to use what told me she is going to prescribe some topical and some cream. Told me if was because of the fires and bad quality of air. To change my toothpaste Took 5 mins. Got the medication one of the topical cream that I use for my eye took 1 week to recieved in the mail use it that same next woke up with my eye swollen. Never going back to that office.

I would never ever recommend this place to anyone. I am not sure how they are even in business anymore. Once Dr. Ehrlich arrives to your appointment 1-2 hours late (not an exaggeration, already major red flag), she will prescribe medications that have to go through a compound pharmacy, which is fine in most cases. She does not send pre-authorizations and once the pharmacy requests them, it takes her 2+ weeks to get back to them. I have called this office daily and even spoke to Dr. Ehrlich herself, telling me she would put in the pre authorization that evening. Days later I call again to find out it has not been done. I could have saved myself almost a month of time by going elsewhere, as my prescriptions still have not been filled.
