My…read moreappointment was on a Monday morning, and the parking lot was quite full so I did a couple of laps before securing a spot. An hour or so later there seemed to be more availability. Check in was brief, only one form to sign. I was seated for 10 minutes when a male medical assistant showed me to my room, updated the reason for visit on his laptop, then instructed me to remove everything except underwear, and he departed after closing a privacy curtain. 20 minutes later Dr Christie Williams and the male medical assistant arrived. I was surprised when the assistant stayed with no "this is Chris, he will be attending the exam, is that OK with you?" I felt a little awkward as I am female, but not so uncomfortable as to ask for a female attendant. Dr Williams is personable, friendly, answered all my questions and the full exam only took 6-7 minutes. At check out it was easy to book next year's appointment.

Mom was taken on time, the staff is pleasant. Dr Simkin is outstanding.

He has a rare, warm, beside manner and I feel fortunate he is looking after mom. He currently works 2 days a week, so making an appointment can take some lead time. He has a patient portal, although it is limited in use. You can use it to communicate with him/his staff, but features such as updating current med list is not an option. You can email them with updates as a work around. Otherwise, at the beginning of the appointment there is a manual review and update by an assistant.

If I could give zero stars, I would -- a million times over!…read more It's very rare that I take the time to write a review, but as a responsible parent and citizen, I feel I have a duty to share the horrific experience I just had at APDerm. This was my second visit to the office for my daughter's scalp psoriasis. The first time (in March), we saw Dr. Brandow Rowe -- he was professional, though not particularly warm, and unfortunately his treatment didn't work. Wanting a second opinion, I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Peter Muz. I was surprised I could get an appointment within three days -- now I understand why. Please, avoid him at all costs. Dr. Muz began showing me pictures of patients whose conditions had supposedly improved after just one injection of a medication. When I asked what the medication was, he refused to tell me, saying, "You don't need to know the name -- it's just efficient enough." I insisted on knowing what he planned to inject into my daughter's scalp so I could research it first. He responded aggressively, saying there were no side effects because it wouldn't be given intravenously. When I firmly asked him to write down the name, he scribbled something illegibly on a sticky note and said dismissively, "Alright, make your research, I'll come back." As a patient, I know it is my right to be fully informed before any treatment. His reaction was unprofessional and completely unacceptable. He then left the room abruptly, nearly slamming the door, after roughly handling my daughter's head while examining her scalp -- wearing a glove on only one hand. Even my daughter noticed, asking the nurse (who was kind and polite) if the doctor was always like that or just in a bad mood. The nurse quietly replied, "Unfortunately, that's just how he always behaves." When I got home, I researched the medication -- triamcinolone acetonide injection -- and found numerous possible side effects: nausea, vomiting, rash, glaucoma, allergic reactions, and more. I understand that all medications carry risks, but as a parent, I have the absolute right to know what's being administered to my child and to make an informed decision. If Dr. Peter Muz dares to bill my insurance for this appalling consultation, I will absolutely dispute it and report him to the medical board.
