“Ruby De La Torre was great she answered all my questions and provided detailed suggestions how to deal with my eczema. She provided samples and ensured me if I had any issues to come back and see her. Excellent customer service, barely any wait time and Ms. Torre office sends plenty of appointment reminders. So glad zocdoc recommended Ms. Torre…. If you’re looking for a dermatologist that cares and will take the time to assist you Ms. Torre is all you need!”

Front desk staff was kind and attentive. Wait time was not even 5 minutes. Dr Ruby was attentive, kind and talked me through everything. She could tell I was nervous cause I had to get a spot removed. She talked to me the whole time and helped me relax while still taking care of me. Everyone was great for my first time with this office. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Doctor DE LA TORRE was very professional & friendly. She introduced herself then proceeded to listened to my concerns. I didn’t feel rushed and she addressed each problem. DR. De La Torre explained what was happening with me and explained a plan of treatment needed to hopefully remedy the problems. Not once did I feel like she was rushing me. I was very impressed for my first visit with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a dermatologist.

The Staff was very friendly and professional. I was seen right away with very little waiting time. The Physician's Assistant (Ruby De La Torre) and the Medical Assistant (Marion) were very helpful and efficient. They had my procedure done very quickly and professionally.

I was very impressed with Ruby. She had a great bed side manner, listened to the patient,was very friendly and knowledgeable. The staff and the facility itself was outstanding. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. Thank you CK
Verified patient
She was very business-like. I appreciated that to a point. She did her job, that was it. She could have explained things a little better.
Verified patient
I chose her because she was close by my home. She didn't listen along with the medical assistant. The NP overlooked parts of the treatment, and I had to remind her to look at the whole treatment area. I would never recommend this office or provider to anyone.
Verified patient
I really like this office. The staff is friendly and helpful and the NP is excellent. She helped me with a nail problem I was having about a year ago so I felt very confident she would be able to help with this.
Verified patient
everything was great I have no complaints
Verified patient
Great service
Verified patient
Everyone was professional and nice. My doctor was thorough and addressed my concerns. She answered all my questions and gave me advice on how to advocate better for myself.
The website didn’t mention that she only did dermatology. She made me feel rushed and unheard during the appointment. Sort of like she was running behind and trying to catch up. I’m now responsible for a copay for things I could’ve googled. I’m so mad about that but, there’s nothing I can do about it
