I thought the visit was very quick, efficient, and clean. The front desk staff was a little “stark”, to the point, no fluff or smiles but overall my experience was good.

Went for a skin screening and was nervous. She was very friendly and thorough. Listened to my concerns and talked me through everything. I will be sticking with her from now on.

I tried to get in to see my own dermatologist, after finding a few things on my skin and I found out they are booked way into January! I decided I did not want to wait that long to get it looked at, so I called around to other dermatologists in my area, only to find many of them are also booked way into 2025! Then I went online and saw that Zocdoc had a few openings at a local dermatology office near me, and I decided to go try them out. I was able to fill out all my new patient paperwork online, ahead of time, so I did not have to sit and fill it out in the office.
I was pleasantly surprised after entering the office, to find it bright, updated, and very clean. The staff were also pleasant and friendly. I hardly sat down when I was called to go back by the nurse.
I had a few things frozen off of me after they were diagnosed and everything was also explained to me. I realized she was also very good at it! I plan to continue to go back there, and I am very happy I found them!
