Doctor listened to my concerns, saw the problem and decided on a plan of immediate action. I would definitely recommend her and would go back to her for any other problem.
August 13, 2025Lydia S.Verified patient
I wouldn’t come back, bare minimum effort was given. Not friendly, I didn’t come out with what I expected out of my dermatology appointment.
August 12, 2025Paulina P.Verified patient
I never felt so unimportant at a Doctor’s appointment. I had so much hope for it, took pictures of my skin problem evolution and had questions about vitamin or nutrition deficit or underlying health conditions that might be influencing the onset of my condition. I was rushed into this 4 minute visit in which I wasn’t even invited to sit on the examination chair, the Doctor (along with her shadowing secretary who seemed harried) stood next to me on the corner and asked just one question, then rapidly named the options for it without giving an explanation for the posible cause, posible origin and internal dermatologic processes that might undergo in the evolution of my type of lesion other than the cookie cutter “this is age related” sentence, which immediately shuts any interest in finding solutions or making sure all possible concomitant causes are reviewed and/or improved in order to diminish the situation. I felt they were trying to get it over with ASAP.
