I concur with Faith as last posted…read more The staff and her PA (physician's assistant) were wonderful and very knowledgeable. The procedure I had done was before I went there quite worrisome and to be honest a little fearful. I was totally calmed down and relaxed and went home feeling satisfied. I would recommend this practice to anyone needing services on the skin.

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.

Would never go back to see Dr. Costa. Waited for an hour before even going into the exam room. I…read morehave a history of melanoma and was there for a full body head to toe check. Dr. Costa spent about 5 minutes with me and never did a full body check. I also had a note with my questions on it. She gave it back to me and said OK what questions do you have today. I said I had brought the list and she said just tell me! Each time I said the issue she looked for a second and then said OK what else. This doctor was definitely behind and had one foot out the door. I was in tears when I left thinking I hope I don't have any issues because if I did she did not care to look. This is definitely a doctor who books too many patients in one day. Would never recommend her.

I had such confidence in her that I scheduled a peel which was performed in Cranberry. I saw Dr. Bacik. She exuded the same warmth and confidence that Dr. Valez did. I am very happy with the staff. I am not going to worry about a receptionist. I am grateful for the professionals who showed me they knew what they were doing! Extra thanks to Medical Assistant Haley for making me feel like I was in the hands of a family member...You ladies are wonderful!!

This is an absolutely terrific medical practice led by Dr Joseph Stuckert…read more Dr Stuckert left his previous partnership with Premier Medical Associates, so don't be fooled by the address or phone # on another Yelp site. This is his new private practice. Dr Stuckert is fantastic! A true caring physician...everything you want in a doctor and dermatologist. Professional and friendly, thorough and expert, he takes his time, explains everything, and addresses all concerns with knowledge and compassion. I've been to him for screenings and needed procedures. My 17 yr old son has seen him for screenings, and more recently for treatment for alopecia areata...bald spots in his hair...which is very concerning to a teen. Dr Stuckert reassured him, treated him and cured the condition. My son was so grateful, as was I! This is the dermatoligy practice to go to, the physician to see. His PA-C Kaitlin Galata is also terrific. Friendly staff, super practitioners. Worth any distance traveled. Dr Stuckert is the BEST!

I have been annually seeing the very knowledgeable Dr. Joseph Stuckert for several years. I…read moreinitially was referred to him after a med express doc and my own PCP could not figure out my abdominal skin problem. After examination and questioning Dr. Stuckert quickly diagnosed the issue and gave me a treatment that quickly resolved the problem. Pain lasting 2 months and effecting my daily activities of living was finally gone! As time has passed he has performed other procedures, all done painlessly and competently. As a bonus, he has a very caring, kind and patient personality. Examinations are done thoroughly. I cannot recommend this dermatologist enough - I would give him 10 stars, if possible. As well, his team is also excellent. Finally, his practice recently relocated to a lovely, easily accessible office in the North Hills in Pittsburgh. When I made my annual appt. last year my info and appt. did not transfer. Still, Dr. Stuckert squeezed me in and did not hurry the exam. If you need a dermatologist he should be your choice. Kim S.

Dr. Casario is extremely unprofessional and unknowledgeable. I saw her briefly about a car accident…read moreand happily answered questions about my current medications and medical history, which includes a well-documented, well-supported disability diagnosis. She questioned every medication I was on, questioning my former doctors who I all like very much. She contradicted their medical advice, unsolicited because I wasn't there for any reason other than pain from the accident. She seemed to question my prior diagnosis, again, unsolicited. When I calmly tried to defend my position, she raised her voice at me and yelled "Im not arguing with you." I am an adult patient and I have the right to engage in my care. She seems to think otherwise. Any doctor who tries to steamroll you about your health isn't a good doctor. She seems miserable. She needs to retire.
