October 26, 2026Karen B.Verified patient
The office is nice , don’t have to wait long. However , I feel that is part of the issue. When I was calling in , I feel that the process (actually speaking with the doctor) was very rushed or she seemed to be in a rush. As I’m trying to explain my concerns, questions etc she just kept reiterating that eczema & dermatitis are the same thing” , so I continue to try to explain my issues on finding a moisturizer that doesn’t flare my skin etc and again she just says there’s no way to know which skin condition I have”? To just use vanicream” and continue using the cream she prescribed although it’s not meant for continuous use , and if I stop using it my symptoms come right back? I just felt like I was given a bandaid solution so to speak with no actual result

August 18, 2025Ruben F.Verified patient
the doctor had a difficult patient which caused for me to be in the waiting room for a half hour and then it took an additional half hour to see the doctor. my exam was efficient and covered my questions but the doctor didn’t acknowledge the long wait time even though this was my first experience.

Visit limited to five minutes per patient. They overbook. Long wait times. Rude staff. Wrong medication was called in. Stay away.
July 1, 2025Stacy F.Verified patient
Doctor Shah was respectful and interested in both my companion's and my concerns during the visit. Her manner of directing the visit and getting us to the right Dermatological solution struck us both as belonging to a true physician, both in spirit and skill.
