“The office was very nice! Mini free samples of facial cleansers, which was a lovely surprise. While Sara did talk fast which didn't give me time to think of my questions. I will say, she was very attentive to answer the questions I did ask. She explained the procedure, (which was same day!) very thoroughly, and also explained the aftercare regiment. Overall, a good experience! ”

“Dr. Messina is amazing! After years of struggling with eczema, she was the first dermatologist to do a biopsy and take my condition seriously. She saw me quickly, explained everything clearly, and finally gave me answers and relief. I’m so grateful—she’s the best!”
