“Doctor was great. There’s communication issues between the non-clinical office staff not communicating with each other. One does not know what the other does or says. They give conflicting information between the two. I’m not sure who needs additional training/feedback but they should rectify that quickly because it makes for an unpleasant experience that has nothing to do with the clinical staff’s care.”

“I had a bump on my ankle bone, and Dr. Melissa diagnosed it as Wart . She provided treatment immediately, and the procedure was very quick and professionally done. I was very impressed. I'm happy to have found this dermatology office.”
