She was so kind, took the time to answer all my questions, & I left feeling like I had an actual plan.

They want detail about my experience as a customer? Buckle up! First appointment was horrible…read more Doctor and some MA came in. No bedside manner. When I had to reveal parts of my body to show inflammation, that's when the MA looked up and at my body (completely unprofessional), given the doctor tells them exactly what part of the body for them to document, which is their only job. Them looking, is not necessary at all. Oh man if I had my husband with me, they definitely wouldn't look up from their notes. They're MA's for crying out loud. They just document what MD says. Also, per any operating business, they prescribe medication, bc medication causes side effects that lead to more appointments and more money. Next appointment I see another doctor who must have mistaken me for another patient, bc I've never seen her in my life. & what do you know, she gives samples of topical steroids. And prescribes more unnecessary ointments that CONTRADICT each other and are not to be used at the same time. Did the MD bother to check? Nope. Oh and their "contracts" that you sign in the beginning does not specify any charge of messaging/emailing the doctor. Cuz guess what? Those emails are the same price as an appointment and they do not tell you, they bill you. And harass you every single day. The same Karen they refuse to fire in all the one star comments below. If they removed my original review, imagine how much time they have in their hands to literally go through these yelp comments and request that it be removed!!!! Pathetic!!!!!!! I stand by my original review. Report them to your insurance. And when the time comes that this practice does this to THE one, don't forget to add us to the class action lawsuit. Not just for medical malpractice and negligence, but also civil lawsuit for FRAUD! Dermatology clinics can charge patients for email consultations, but they are legally required to inform patients beforehand about potential charges!!! If Yelp is as honest as they can be, they won't let businesses like this one flag and remove negative reviews that can literally save a patient who needs to find a real dermatology clinic and see real reviews. Not filtered ones. For the patients suffering with skin conditions, please do yourself a favor, do not go here. "Quick fixes" are temporary, it comes back & worse than before. Steroid ointments aren't it!!!!!! Please go to a reputable practice with doctors that don't just give you prescriptions within 3 min of your appointment.

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Peter Rullan himself. He was kind, informative, and I was…read morevery happy with the results of my Kenalog injections. My initial consultation was complimentary, and I paid $130 for the injections. At that appointment, I was told to come back in three weeks for a follow up. At my follow up, I told Dr. Rullan that I was really happy with my results and did not need any additional injections. We briefly discussed possibly doing a peel or laser in the future, and I told them I needed to look at my schedule and would get back to them. When I went to check out, I was surprised when I was told the visit would be $130. I explained that I had not been told there would be a charge for the three week follow up and that, had I known, I would not have scheduled the appointment because I was already happy with my results. This was especially confusing because my initial consultation had been complimentary and I had paid $130 for the injections themselves. Dr. Rullan kindly came over and waived the fee, and I apologized for the misunderstanding. Unfortunately, what happened afterward left me feeling incredibly humiliated. Mary, the office manager, told me, "You don't go out to eat without paying, do you?" She told me that the doctor's time is valuable, that a consultation or even asking a question about a procedure is a $130 fee, and that I was no longer welcome back. I completely understand that a physician's time is valuable, and I have no problem paying fees that are communicated to me beforehand. My issue was never about expecting a doctor's time for free. I simply was not aware that the follow up I had been instructed to schedule would cost another $130. I had actually been very happy with Dr. Rullan and was considering returning for a peel or laser treatment, which makes the way this interaction ended even more disappointing. I wish the fee had been clearly communicated when the follow up was scheduled and, more importantly, that the misunderstanding had been handled with kindness and professionalism rather than making me feel embarrassed and unwelcome.

Dr Pelle is simply amazing!…read more Prior to my 1st appointment with her for a rash 7 years ago, Dr Pelle wanted me to send her my current labs prior to my appointment. (She is a brilliant facts and data driven individual and because of her inquisitive and insatiable goal to be the very best, I am alive today because she identified a totally unrelated to the rash issue.) Dr Pelle was recommended by two of my former dermatologists who could not solve the my rash problem and that says a lot! Love it when a referral comes from doctors that they respect and would use as their choice of dermatologist! If you need a dermatologist, I encourage you to start with the-best-of-the-best and contact Dr Michelle Pelle! J-Seraz

I am sharing this to warn others about the lack of patient safety and professional standards at…read moremedDerm. After encounters with two different providers, I have cancelled all future visits for the sake of my health. ​ I was initially prescribed multiple regimens that only made my condition worse. When I was unable to see the doctor for two months, I saw a Nurse Practitioner who proceeded to prescribe medications I am explicitly allergic to. Even after I reiterated several times that I could not take them, she refused to provide alternatives. Ignoring a known allergy is dangerous and negligent. ​ At the end of my visit, I requested a standard 'After Visit' paper with written directions for my medical care. I was told 'that's not how they do things.' Refusing to provide a patient with written instructions for their health--especially while dealing with infections and medications--is completely unprofessional. ​ Furthermore, they do not validate parking. It is sad that nearby coffee shops and sushi restaurants offer validation, yet a medical facility receiving referrals refuses to cover the cost for its patients. ​I will not be returning. If you value clear communication, clinical accuracy, and basic patient safety, I strongly recommend going elsewhere.
