    I went for an appointment over the summer because I was experiencing some dry skin on the back of…read moremy neck. When the MA took me back to a room, I told her my concerns and expressed that the dry skin was slowly making its way down my back. She took her notes, and left the room for about 10-20 minutes. When she returned, an NP was with her. The NP asked to look at my neck, and within a minute told me she would prescribe a pill, water solution, and shampoo/conditioner. Asked if I had any questions and left. She never looked at the patches on my back or told me why this condition could have occurred. She was in the room for less than 5 minutes, but my insurance had a charge for $475. When I arrived at the pharmacy to get my prescriptions, the shampoo and conditioner weren't included. I was told that they got the script, but were unable to fill it at that location, so they weren't sure why it was sent over. I've tried the topical water solution for a few months now, but the dryness is still present. I did not return for my follow up appointment, as the initial encounter felt rushed.

    I really loved my experience here! I usually tend to avoid…read moredoctors of all types because I spend a bunch of money on them just to leave with the same issues I came in with. Derm Institute however exceeded my expectations by quite a bit! I came in with a list of ailments and Dr Nartker had quick likely diagnoses and solutions for all of them. I've had an issue with redness and breakouts on my face and he prescribed medication and a topical that started healing a year long problem in ONE week. I am thrilled! Lovely office, stellar doctor (highly recommend Nartker), and solved skin issues! I'd end by saying that I'll absolutely return to this office.. but I'm actually thinking I won't have to return to any office since they've resolved my issues!

    To begin,this practice is doing their best to keep their patients safe from COVID. Patients…read morerequired to wear masks and social distance. Staff also wear masks. Front Desk staff: They could be better trained and since this is a relatively new business, they could be working on it. I expect to be greeted when I walk into a business. I wasn't until I spoke to her. Also, when I left, there were two staff sitting at the front desk who went on with their conversation while I waited (I don't know and don't care if it was business related, they should have stopped and took care of their patient). Medical Assistant: She was obviously new but sweet and helpful. Didn't know everything yet but she wasn't afraid to ask questions, down to the spelling of drugs and infections. PA: She was great. Knew what she was doing. She took the biopsy from the top of my foot. One of the easiest things I've ever had done. Dr. Messenger, Jr: Very nice young doctor. Introduced himself and his PA when they came in. Calls himself Dr. Jeff. I liked that he was personable. He couldn't give a definite diagnosis without the biopsy but gave me three possibilities. He had the PA take the biopsy but he supervised it and assisted her. All in all, I would recommend this practice. My appointment was timely and I'm known for walking out on doctors who make me wait with no explanation. Just a suggestion: your website is awful. It needs to be reworked and made secure.

    Worst customer service experience. Asked for a prescription refill and left a voicemail Oct 2…read more Never got a call back. Boyfriend called regarding this prescription Oct 14. Went thru hoops to get misleading information. Ended up talking to officer manager Kelly who asked if we needed anything else but hung up on us when we voiced our need to stay on the line as we were waiting for an email from her. Corporate supposedly mailed a letter regarding insurance changes and the assigned doctor leaving but the office refused to send it via email. Next call got us to a different office desk personnel who said that Kelly ended up emailing us anyway which we have yet to receive. Worst part was that they laughed at my boyfriend while on the call over something he took very seriously to get information about. Very unprofessional to laugh over the request of information and to belittle somebody who is already upset of how the office handled this situation and another that he called about the day before. At the end of the day, these are the things where they did me wrong as a mom of a 2 y.o. whose kid is suffering from severe eczema: 1. Never gave me the call back to at least acknowledge the voicemail --What is the point of a voicemail if it is left unheard? 2. Had to be the one to call them regarding the request 12 days ago. --If they told me earlier, then I would have figured out a different provider sooner so I can get the medication my kid uses asap 3. Laughed at a frustrated and upset client who sincerely requested for someone able to help us which then led to him being very pissed off even more 4. No apology for the mistakes of #s 1 thru 3 and even a denial of #3. 5. Gave us the name of Gino (no last name given nor the title except he is higher on the rank above office manager Kelly) who should be calling us regarding our issues with no timeframe whatsoever.

    Dr. Elliot and all the doctors and staff are the best. I have went here for many years.read more
