Thanks
I would highly recommend this provider. The staff was friendly and professional. Somil Mehta , PA is extremely knowledgeable and professional and created a worry free appointment and quick procedure.
Verified patient
My entire experience, from start to finish, was pleasant. Although I can't recall the receptionist's name, she was friendly and answered all my questions over the phone. The office was very clean. Michelle, the physician assistant to Dr. Somil, was also friendly. She even showed me the recommended lotion that Dr. Somil suggested on her mobile device. Dr. Somil has great bedside manners. He made sure that I didn't feel any pain before removing my skin tag. Additionally, I appreciated that he asked if I had any questions and took the time to answer them.
Verified patient
Somil was a pleasure to meet! He listened to my needs and answered my questions. He was patient and I did not feel rushed, and had great bedside manner. I look forward to working with him again on my health goals and would certainly recommend him to others for dermatological care. Note: office parking is a bit confusing and prepare extra time for this.

Clean office Amazing staff
Excellent experience, very thorough exam. Pleasant staff and Somil Mehta had an excellent bedside manner and communicated very effectively. Very happy with my visit.
Verified patient
I would recommend Dr. Somil Mehta, he was very kind and helpful. The only thing that threw me off a little bit was that he recommended me to try a product for my thinning hair that requires me to wash it out daily, and as someone with a curly and thick-textured hair, that would be incredibly damaging to my hair, along with probably aggravating the other scalp conditions that I was concerned about. It gave the impression that he wasn't entirely aware that a lot of hair products (including for thinning hair, dermatitis, psoriasis, etc.) are not beneficial for thicker and curlier hair textures. But I run into that issue quite a bit when looking for dermatology and hair/scalp help.

Great experience. Way above expectations and went as well as a Dr visit could have gone. Appreciate how kind he and the staff was. 1000% recommend you work with him. Wish he could be my doctor for everything!
As always Somil Mehta was fantastic! He has such a reassuring manner and communicates clearly. I can tell that he cares about me as a patient!

I had a really nice appointment with Somil Mehta. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. He looked at all of my moles and freckles and catalogued them for my next visit. One mole that he was concerned about, he removed quickly and painlessly. I definitely felt like I was in good hands. I had some questions after the procedure the next day, and Somil answered everything himself and didn't hesitate to jump on the phone.
Verified patient
PA Somil, Nurse Michelle, and Nurse Glenda were kind and attentive. Ms. April at the front desk is also a pleasure. I was given ample opportunity during each visit to ask questions and didn't feel rushed. The procedure I went for is inherently uncomfortable, but such care was taken during it to ensure I was okay, not in pain, and aware of each step. I also appreciated that my opinion on the next steps to address my issue was respected. I've had some bad experiences over time, so this experience was really refreshing. I would highly recommend this office. You'll be in good hands.
Verified patient

Everything was great
Verified patient
Dr Mehta was great! He greeted me politely, made sure that all my questions were answered. Explained my symptoms and the causes. There were no extra follow up visits that were not required. He also assured that he would be able to assist over the phone in case any of my symptoms change/worsen. The support staff was also great! All if them were polite and made me feel comfortable as soon as I entered their office. The seating area was clean. They followed the safety protocols.
Verified patient
Went for a full body mole check, got 2 removed and got advice about other skin conditions that were bothering me. He promptly provided the time and professionalism over call for the biopsy updates and I am very happy with the overall experience. Per the other skin conditions, his advice and prescribed topical medication has been working wonders so far and I've very happy to made the initial appointment to discuss everything. Highly recommend and I've suggested him to all my friends. 10/10 recommend.
Both front desk and Dr. Somil were very personable and welcoming. Office wad very clean and there was no wait to see the Doctor. Dr. Somil took the time to actually look at my skin and fully explain his recommendations.
I saw Somil (Dr. Mehta) and he is one of the most down to earth and informative doctors I've had the pleasure of seeing. He listens through issues, provides multiple options, and helps patients come to their own best decision.
