The dermatologist was inadequate with me. He quizzed me on whether or not I remembered a long medical name when he easily could have brought it up himself. At no point did he use a machine to verify my condition. I showed him a mole and he didn't even ask me whether it had changed color! The advice he gave me for a lotion was the exact opposite of my problem. Lastly, his "bedside manner" was lacking and came off as arrogant.

The office was clean, check-in was easy on a tablet, and the staff was nice. The providers here cannot prescribe certain medications. If all you need are topical medications or cosmetic procedures, this practice will probably meet your needs, but if you need anything beyond that, look elsewhere.

He was very impersonable and like he wanted to get out of their so fast, like he didnt want to be there he gave me very basic information thorough but it was really quick and he was out. He seemed very cold. Again, i got all the information I needed but i felt like an inconvienence to him.

I have been seeing Dr. Zelickson for many, many years and have been very pleased. He listens to any concerns I may have and is incredibly knowledgeable. I also use his skincare products....I love them!
I have been bringing my son to see him. Unfortunately, my son is not always the most cooperative patient. Dr. Zelickson has always been very kind, patient, and understanding.
Dr. Zelickson is top-notch!
