I then sat in the waiting room for almost 40 minutes before going up to the front desk again to ask when I would be seen - it was then that they let me know they were running way behind schedule. Given that I had to pick my kids up by a certain time, they finally brought me back once I asked about the timing and I was only able to see a provider for a quick visit. My experience with the staff once I was see was great but I will have to reschedule my original appointment for a full body scan another day. Overall a decent medical experience but terrible timing and customer service experience.

Dr. Walter was recommended to me by my dermatologist for Mohs surgery. From the start of…read morescheduling the appointment to when I walked out after the procedure, everything went smooth. The nurse, Alisha , was amazing, she took the time to explain everything to me and when I had questions, took the time to answer. That might seem like that is the job of the nurse the difference for me was the delivery. Dr. Walter was fantastic the whole step of the way. Her and Alisha made me comfortable just by having a casual conversation as she was doing the procedure. It really helped to take my mind off everything. Thank you, I appreciate the kindness you both showed.

That being said, we continue to be pleased with the care from all of the doctors and support team at this office and we will continue to go here but will miss Dr. Two. Consider this review a friendly reminder to WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN and get your annual full body screens too. I do that and even still, have to typically get treatment of one form or another. I'll be seeing Dr. Walters for a Mohs surgery soon - likely as a result of sun damage... and if you're still reading this review, please wish me luck with that. I know I'm in the best of hands. I am grateful to have found this practice for myself and my family.

Apparently it's "office policy" that unless you shell out the $100 out of pocket at least yearly for a doctor's visit that takes less time to simply continue the prescription than waiting for the giggling with female employees to stop does, they cut you off won't even do a 1 month extension so you can actually make an appointment. ***A funny update: the day after I posted this negative review, the vindictive practice sent a letter stating I could no longer be their patient, as if I would have anyway. A word of sorely needed advice: less time hawking reviews online and getting bent out of shape for the poor job you did, more time acting ethically to the patients who pay far more than the 30 second visits are worth.

I was a patient at this practice for a few years unfortunately and ultimately left with a very…read moredisappointing impression of how patients are treated when they raise concerns. From the beginning, I repeatedly requested to see the physician, Dr. Perez, for my primary care concerns. Despite multiple requests over several years, I was consistently scheduled with the Jen the PA instead UNLESS I wanted to invest in aesthetics treatments. Yah it's Scottsdale, but I'm here for my health, not my appearance. While I understand the role of physician assistants, I specifically wanted physician involvement in my care and was never able to obtain it. (I still don't have answers from last summer's outstanding health issue because they truly don't care about their patients health). I also experienced ongoing communication and billing issues with the extremely rude front staff. On more than one occasion, I was told coding corrections would be submitted to insurance and that I would receive updated itemized invoices. The invoices never arrived. When I called for updates, my voicemails frequently went unanswered. I later learned that at least one bill had been sent to an incorrect address. My final experience was the most concerning. I had recently recovered from Influenza B and was suffering from what was later believed to be Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. I was in significant pain and visibly ill during my visit. As I was leaving, I was aggressively confronted about an outstanding $100 bill that I had previously called about and requested information on. When I attempted to explain that I had already been trying to resolve the billing issue, I was repeatedly interrupted, dismissed, and treated with hostility rather than professionalism and empathy. The girl rolled her eyes at me, shook her snubby pony tail at me looked like she wanted to hit me. I told her to just email me the itemized invoice and I'll pay it when I get home. That invoice also had an incorrect address on it. Go figure. The competence here is real high as you can see After sending a message through the patient portal about my experience to Jen, I finally received the first and only message from Dr. Perez himself. Unfortunately, instead of addressing the communication and billing concerns I raised, I was told that I seemed to "have a problem paying my bills" and was informed that I should seek care elsewhere. This was particularly surprising given that I have always paid my balances and had repeatedly attempted to obtain clarification before paying invoices that I had not received. It's not about the $100 invoice. I make way more than that by posting a 20 second tik tok, and I spend way more than that in 5 minutes on a round of drinks for friends. It's not the price, it's the principle. Healthcare is about more than diagnoses and referrals. It is also about communication, respect, and patient advocacy. In my experience, those areas were severely lacking here. I have since transferred my care to another physician and have received a level of attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism that confirms my concerns about my experience at this practice. Based on my experience, I will absolutely not recommend this office. For the record, Jen is nice and caring.. she doesn't belong there.

I joined the visit yesterday as Emily Kase is my wife's very trusted P.A.-C. I have met Emily several times the last few years and was vividly reminded what a world class professional technician she is. Her attention to the details is spot-on admirable. On top of this, she is genuine to the core. For me, it is her remarkably high level of emotional intelligence (E.Q.) which sets her apart from all the professionals we come in contact every month. This Practice is so blessed to have her as Emily could work most anywhere due to the special skills and TLC she extends to her patients.

Even though the hours state that they close at noon, there were three staffers working at the office to support a physician's assistant (PA). I was called into the exam room prior to my appointment time. The tech and I talked about my issues. She excused herself after we were done. A moment later a PA, walked in, introduced herself and we got down to business. I gave her a brief history of my issues. She recommended a topical ointment or if desired I could take an oral medication for quicker results. I opted for ointment. She also suggested a patch testing to see what might be bothering my skin. I will consider that as well. Shared parking outside.

I was left with hypopigmentation on my cheeks and scarring on my chin and nose. I found Dr. Lal through a recommendation, and he has been the one guiding me through the remediation and healing process. He travels often for speaking engagements and he sees a lot of patients, so there can be a wait, but he is absolutely worth it. He knows exactly what he's doing, explains everything clearly, and will never recommend anything harmful or unnecessary. You can tell he genuinely has your best interest in mind. On top of that, he's funny, personable, and just has a great heart. They have billed my insurance and i have self paid without issue. I do book in advance because i want to keep things on schedule. On a rare occasion they have had to reschedule they have made every effort to accommodate. I rarely wait long to be seen but when there is a delay i don't mind. He is incredibly busy and takes such good care of me and my skin. Its because when he sees a patient he is 100% present and sometimes things take longer than expected. The staff is amazing mianni and yossana are the best medical assistants I have ever met in my entire life and I'm not exaggerating. I've gone to Morgan for injectable's and would highly recommend her. They are definitely the assets. The front desk people are really friendly and do a great job accommodating all the requests. I see Nikki the most and her efficiency - I'm sure its not easy being the main point of contact at such a busy practice but they do a great job The lobby is pleasant and parking is easy. I take the stairs but there is an elevate if mobility is a challenge. If you're looking for a dermatologist or need help with difficult skin issues, I highly recommend getting a consultation with Dr. Lal.

I can summarize my review of Mr. Lal in five words; this guy is a quack. I will refrain from…read morereferring to him as a doctor as he has not earned that title with me. I first met with Mr. Lal for a vitiligo study back in 2023. My first visit was an absolute disorganized mess. I reported to the address I was given, but the receptionist had no idea who I was, who Mr. Lal was, or even vaguely familiar of a vitiligo study that was literally happening in that office. It turns out Mr. Lal was using a back room of affiliated dermatology to conduct this study. I assume he did not have permission. I worked primarily with his two medical assistance, who likely never attended medical school, as they were also the most disorganized "medical professionals" I have ever encountered. Mr. Lal was late to every one of my visits, which were at least weekly, sometimes more frequent. I waited for up to an hour at times, at his mercy, and he never made an apology once. Part of the study required using the Excimer laser to burn off layers of skin in the affected areas. It was obvious Mr. Lal had never used an Eximer before. He literally caused the third-degree burns on my hands. I have had previous experience with the laser, and in trained hands, it is not as destructive as it was in Mr. Lal's hands. I did not complete the study. I drove over two hours every week to be treated by imbeciles who had no business involving themselves in such a complex study. I bailed before the study was complete. I hope it caused a financial loss for Mr. Lal, as he deserves nothing for his incompetence.
