I’m really glad I chose her !She was so nice and very attentive. I have not been to a dermatologist in so long for my acne and she made the experience so easy. She will ask you if you want to use the pharmacy that they use, my advice , take it! One of my medication was a pretty penny that my insurance didn’t cover, annoying, but the pharmacy applied a coupon and dropped it down by a lot!The medication she prescribed me is actually working and I am slowly getting my confidence back. Love her and I will definitely recommend! Her staff was also really awesome too , her assistant was kind and funny and didn’t make it awkward.
She was absolutely amazing!!! Loved her! She educated me and helped me understand things about my skin that I did not know previously despite this being my fourth or fifth dermatologist! Kind, respectful, insightful and ultimately a complete pleasure to speak with!

She was awesome and helpful....
Verified patient
Very thorough with examine and detailed with the process of ointment application. Friendly and tactical in treatment. Although the wait was well over an hour pass my appointment time it was worth it.
Impersonal. I would prefer a physician that looks at me more than an ipad and I didn't appreciate the amount of times a solution to my problems were literally shrugged off. I will find another dr.
It went as expected minus the extraordinary wait time. My appt was scheduled for 12:45. I didn't get in to see the Dr. til almost two. :-( I'm told it was because earlier patients needed more care than was allocated for. I'm not angry about that because if it were me I'd want undivided attention also.

Verified patient
She knew right away what my problem was and was so helpful coaching me how to not make my skin condition worse and how to maintain it the right way. I left feeling relieved that I now have my own dermatologist I can rely on.
Verified patient
First time at that office so registration paperwork is really what made it a bit longer. Once paper work was done I went in right away and she saw me shortly thereafter. Dr Simela does an excellent check of the skin because she uses her special derm light over the whole body, even hair. She is the BEST Dermatologist I have ever met. Sincerely
Verified patient
I am satisfied with the service.

She’s very professional and what I think is great is that she tries the products before hand so that she personally knows what works and what doesn’t and how it’ll affect you.
