I’m struggling to understand how I called 10 times today just to speak to someone and not one person has answered the phone... Also a concern, there’s no ring back tone? It’s 2026 and you don’t have any form of ringback signifying that I’m waiting ? Just pure silence as if the call is dead . Oh and as I right this review the call just went dead after 5 min. Great system you got going on here

It was my first visit for an annual skin check. I saw dr. Allison Potalski. She was great! I never went to a dermatologist before so I didn't know what to expect. She was so nice and put me at ease. Thank you Allison you did a fantastic job. Her assistant was awesome as well.

Allison is the sweetest and most patient person ever. She always takes the time to listen to my concerns and explains what steps I should take next. I have extremely sensitive skin, and she’s been so gentle and understanding every time I visit. You can tell that she genuinely cares about her patients and wants to help them feel confident in their skin. The entire office is kind, professional, and compassionate.

My providers are great! They do their job responsibly and professionally. The AI scheduling has to go! I was scheduled by a machine when I did not request an appointment and ended up paying my co-pay for an appointment I didn't schedule which is more frustrating. If AI is going to handle a live person's job, then at least train it all of the way.

My 6 month old has extreme eczema, we have tried everything to help him. When our new patient appointment was a month out and he was scratching until he drew blood they moved his appointment to the next day. With western traffic they didn’t turn us away when we were a little late. The nurse that brought us back listened to my concerns and when I was tearing up because I feel horrible for my son the nurse gave me a hug and told me I was doing everything right, I wish I caught her name because she was amazing. The provider we saw Karyn was ABSOLUTELY amazing. She listened to my concerns and explained the game plan and the next two steps if the first step didn’t help. And when I picked up his script and I had questions they called me right back and Karyn was the one calling us to explain and answer any questions I had, I don’t know about you but most of the time it’s a nurse calling you, not the provider. When you tried everything for your child and nothing helps you feel terrible and like you failed. But the nurse & provider didn’t make me feel that way at all. They acknowledged our efforts and provided hope that we didn’t have before with his skin. 100% will recommend this office. Even the front end staff is amazing and was smiling and talking to my 6m old. Any derm issue me or my family have we will always go here — you can see they care and they actually want to help you.

This place is amazing. Dr. Knapp and Jaelyn (spelling) are Gods and the office is fantastic. Not all dermatologists are equal. These are the best in the business and they treat their patients like royalty. Go here if you enjoy scrupulous, preeminent dermatological care.

Made an appointment with one of the PA’s after confirming several months before the appointment that all of my requirements would be met. I double checked with the front desk that all is in order for the upcoming appointment. Was assured everything was as I had requested. One week before the appointment - received a call from a jerk claiming to be the practice manager… her attitude was absolutely despicable, INCREDIBLY RUDE AND HIGHLY OFFENSIVE AS WELL AS OBNOXIOUS! I couldn’t believe what I was hearing from this woman!!! Needless to say - they totally revoked everything they claimed to be as “all set” - months ago and told me that it doesn’t matter to them. I would never ever recommend this absolute nonsense of an absolutely controlling and highly abusive office to ever have me as a patient! They have a sum Total of zero regard for patient respect and privacy. Apparently to them if you’re a guy then you will automatically be discriminated against.

I was charged 600 dollars just to be seen which ultimately was 200 after insurance. The only help I was given was a prescription for a 400 dollar cream that would either help or make it worse is what I was told. After the insurance the cream was 70 dollars for tube. I can't afford that so I didn't get it. Ultimately, I am still left with no help and down 200 dollars. I would not recommend this practice.

Honestly have not felt so disrespected in such a long time. Not only did they confirm and make an appointment for a cyst I wanted removed. I took time out to make the appointment, they collect my copay, tell me they can't do anything within 5 mins and they still billed my insurance after wasting my time and money. Very scummy.
