“As they say first impression is everything, well I was very impressed with the tidiness of the facility. I like the way the nurse was empathetic when she was giving me the needle even though I felt nothing, she had great hands. And Dr. Awe was thorough, and explained my condition in a way that I could understand. The entire experience was extremely pleasant.”

“Dr. Awe was professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. She effectively diagnosed my situation and prescribed the right medicine and care. Within the first week, my problem is pretty much resolved. It should be noted that prior to Dr. Awe, I visited two other dermatological organizations and their efforts did not resolve my problem.”

Verified patient
Great Provider doing a great job with the team.
Dr. Awe and her staff were kind, competent, patient, and thorough. The visit didn't feel rushed and went smoothly from start to finish.
Dr. Kemi listened to my problem and examined me and was very through with her questioning. I’ve been to a few dermatologist and none have made me feel as heard as she has. I would hands down recommend her to any and everyone if you want someone specialized in colored skin. Other than that her office staff was very welcoming and upfront about any payments that might not be covered by insurance. If you have any concerns or questions about your skin I implore you to go and see Dr. Kemi and her amazing staff.
Verified patient
Dr. Awe was amazing. She listened to my history and conducted a thorough body examination to see the affected areas. She explained her diagnosis and treatment plan. I have a follow-up appointment in 6 weeks to see if the medications are working.
Verified patient
The doctor was referred to me by a colleague, and even though I live 90 miles from the office, I decided to make the appointment. This decision was based on my colleague's remarks detailing clarity of communication, excellent bedside manner and knowledgeable friendly staff. I had high expectations and I am happy to say that all of my expectations were not only met, but exceeded. I get nervous when going to doctors and my fears were met with calm and reassuring attitudes allowing me to relax. The drive was well worth the quality of care I received. I cannot stress enough how important these things are when selecting a doctor. Great experience!
