As seamless as an appointment can be. Very kind, listened well, confident in treatment and the most painless biopsy on my nose. I won't dread that word biopsy in the future.

Booked a skin screening appointment with Sakshi Patel, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Dr. Patel was professional and warm, she answered all my questions and made very helpful suggestions
August 12, 2025Angeles R.Verified patient
Dr. Patel was very easy going during our intake. She listened to my symptoms and suggested a variety of remedies. We also discussed alternative treatments. She didn’t rush our conversation, asked if I had any further questions and was extremely knowledgeable about skin care and conditions. I think many patients would be comfortable choosing Dr. Patel for their dermatology needs.
July 18, 2025Elisa L.Verified patient
I had some difficulty locating the office so arrived late. They were nice about it and I was seen right away which I appreciated. The assistant and provider were both friendly and professional. I was motivated to come because of a reddish spot on my arm that I had just learned, through a magazine article, might be cancerous. They took a biopsy and did an examination and identified some other areas of concern. The appointment was a pleasant experience, and I highly recommend the office and provider looking for care and screenings.

The doctor was so knowledgeable, attentive, and caring. She truly listening to every single thing I said and took her time as I have been struggling with an autoimmune diagnosis for almost 14 years. She was confident and very thorough. I am so so grateful for her.

Doctor Patel and all the staff are always kind, professional, and patient. I love how available they are and I could ever come in on the same week of I needed to see a dermatologist. Every one's skin works differently, but Patel is patient and works with you to find exactly what works best for you.
