Quick and efficient. Very pleased
July 8, 2025Susan R.Verified patient
I was seen right away which is good but the visit was literally two minutes long. The provider didn’t even exam my acne on my face. She just said she was sending a prescription to the pharmacy and it would “get worse before it gets better”. Felt rushed and not listened to. Will not be going back

Everything was great and easy

Very good yes
January 13, 2025Thomas E.Verified patient
Friendly staff with quick and efficient check-in. P.A. Desai was great, explaining everything as she went, listening to concerns and noting details. She is very knowledgable and the visit overall was very smooth. I went for myself and for my teenager daughter. I was so pleased w/ the visit that I booked a visit for my teen son before I left the office.
October 10, 2024Christine U.Verified patient
I would go back because; I liked how my dermatologist treated me and she was very specific explaining what had in face etc… anyways you should give a try if it’s first time like me and the reason why I was late was because I went there couple minutes late and I had to wait but the staff was super friendly!
October 1, 2024Laura B.Verified patient

Priya is awesome! She is so friendly, has a sense of humor, made me feel comfortable, and understands the concept of consent. She said what she was going to do before she did anything and asked for feedback along the way. I will absolutely be keeping her as my dermatologist.
