I have visited this UPMC Dermatology business four times--in 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025. I have…read moreinteracted with only physician assistants, a nurse practitioner, medical assistants, and receptionists--NOT dermatologists. Appointments at this office can fill up quickly, so I recommend making an appointment several months in advance, as soon as the providers' schedules are determined. 2021: My appointment began on time. A very polite medical assistant asked questions about my health and took my blood pressure. I changed into a gown. Soon the physician assistant Megan Carrigan arrived. She, too, was very polite and very professional. She did a *thorough* skin exam of my entire body. (My past dermatologists at other offices improperly asked me to point out suspicious skin growths myself.) Megan closely examined my entire body from scalp to toes and even examined my private parts with my permission. Megan said that I have no skin cancer. She gave me an educational pamphlet, and she described the different types of cancerous and benign skin growths. She recommended that I return to the office every year for a skin exam. After my appointment, her notes were available for me to read on UPMC's website. 2023: In the waiting room, I used a kiosk to check in. Two nearby employees did not say hello. My appointment began on time. A medical assistant brought me into a private room, asked me questions and measured my blood pressure, and made friendly conversation. I changed into my gown. Soon the nurse practitioner Sara Prager entered the room. She performed a skin exam of my arms, legs, abdomen, chest, back, face, and my hairline, but she did NOT examine the scalp on top of my head. She used a handheld device called a dermatoscope to closely examine certain skin growths. I asked her about three small growths on my face, and she replied that two are seborrheic keratoses, a buildup of the protein keratin, and one is an acrochordon or skin tag, and they could be frozen off in the same appointment. Minutes later, she brought a cup of frozen liquid nitrogen, q-tips, and a cryotherapy tool. She spent minutes applying the frozen nitrogen to my skin. Unfortunately, the skin never fell off in the following days/weeks. 2024: The nurse practitioner Sara Prager again did a skin exam of my body. This time, she did examine my scalp. 2025: The receptionists served me promptly and politely. The medical assistant as very nice and did a good job with asking me questions. The physician assistant Hunter Baxter was very courteous, and he spent at least several minutes doing a *thorough* exam of the skin on my body, including my scalp and while using a dermatoscope. If he works here next year, then I will make an appointment with him again.

Guess what? Now that it's the new year, i get a call from said receptionist that my card is no longer valid. LIKE I TRIED TO EXPLAIN BEFORE. Every single time I have unfortunately had to interact with her, whether for my keloid injection or simply just to confirm my appointment, she is beyond condescending and disrespectful. I have never seen anything like it before. It's like she has something against her company and is intentionally trying to sabotage them. I have cancelled any future appointment and now, I am trying to figure out how to pay my outstanding bill without having to talk to that vail woman. I will never return, in fact I wish I could warn anyone that ever has to interact with this woman to stay far away. Evil spirit and energy.

That said, my appointment day went great. I had booked with this practice as a new patient because a doctor I previously saw at another practice has moved here. I couldn't get in with her as soon as one of the PAs, so elected to take that sooner appointment. I had never had a whole body skin check before, which is kind of embarrassing and negligent of me, and wanted to get that done, plus address a couple of skin concerns, both medical and cosmetic. Nina, the PA, conducted the skin check in as modest a way as possible, making the process not at all embarrassing, and my medical skin concerns were in a couple of slightly embarrassing locations and she eased my concerns about them in a straightforward, reassuring way. My cosmetic concerns were related to what I thought were sunspots on my face which she told me were actually something else, likely hereditary, and would not respond to creams etc. but I should consider laser treatment if they bother me. I liked that she was not trying to upsell the practice's services here but recommended where I could look into these services from outside, reputable providers. I did ask an offhand question about fillers and she indicated that I would need to book with my past provider, Dr. Kreizenbeck, about that, so that's something good to know/mention upfront if it's your primary purpose of booking. Overall a very good experience here and I plan to keep up with my skin care at this practice.
