I'm so grateful for Dr. Rajini Murthee who helped me get my hives under control. Her whole staff is so nice. I highly recommend Dr. Murthee and Total Dermatology at the Downtown Birmingham location. read more

My facial treatment was incredibly relaxing. The esthetician explained each step, and my skin felt so soft afterward. Slept like a baby that night. read more

Always professional,friendly and fast service. Although they are always fast, they take the time to answer my questions. I've been seeing this group for over 35 years and will continue to do so. read more

Staff is all so friendly and helpful. This is a huge dermatology office with plenty of parking... which is not common for any place in Southside. Dr. Appell is amazing! She knows what she's doing, and my skin has never been better! read more

I came in with some very real concerns and specifically requested a more thorough visual examination after the most significant area of concern was not examined and noted. I also requested lab work/specimen examined and a stated my concern could not be seen without magnification. A simple light microscopy would have revealed my concerns but I was denied all 3 requests. I was sent home with a standard prescription but my underlying concern which is often a symptom/signal of other nutritional, genetic and/or physiological conditions. I revisited the website and learned my visit was not performed by a MD and she was actually a physician's assistant. She informed me there was no test associated with my concerns. After researching credible dermatology journals' articles I learned that many of my concerns are IN FACT diagnosed via skin scraping, hair sampling and light microscopy and in many cases this is a standard. I am not a medical expert and that is why I sought out help. I have lost my faith in the medical community with this Band-Aid approach to patient concerns. I'm 100% certain that this could have been handled correctly with proper examination/diagnostics carried out by an MD. I'm not discrediting the many physician's assistant out there with vast knowledge in their area of medicine but in this case, I believe I was dismissed due insufficient knowledge and bandaided. I am seeking a proper diagnosis of the treatment elsewhere as I am NOT satisfied with my visit. read more

Great providers - well recognized as top tier by other physicians. We use Dr Murthy and love her!

So I didn't elect to come to this dermatology practice specifically, as I was referred here. Here's my take: PROS + I was able to get an appointment in only a few days. + Parking was not an issue. + I saw a sign for wifi in the waiting room (didn't test this out though). + I barely started flipping through a Southern Living before I was called back. + Desk staff were nice. + Dr. Hill seemed pretty friendly. + No one pushed any cosmetic treatments on me. CONS - If you're not going for aesthetic reasons, there's a strong visual emphasis on cosmetic dermatology. I noticed a prominent pullup banner for Botox in the entryway, and there are a zillion pamphlets on things like Latisse in the exam room. - Nurse could have been a bit more personable - There were 4 people in the exam room, and that didn't include me. - It was all a "Wham, Bam, Thank You Ma'am" experience, super fast. The exam seemed to take all of five minutes. I like to be coddled, but it's more like an assembly line here. And that's the total of my Total review! read more

They don't return calls. My son can't get his medication because they haven't done a PA for it. Several messages have been left with no reply back. He has been out of his meds for over 5 weeks due to their negligence. Don't use this office. read more

Went for Botox and was completely happy with my results. She knew exactly how many units I needed and made sure it wasn't overdone. Definitely recommend! read more

Staff is very professional . Love Drs Hill & Appell !! Didn't have to wait long either .

Dr. Krell has been a long time physician starting with my son, daughter and myself. He has always been very professional and prompt. He is always thorough and honest. Sometimes, his honesty might hurt but, I feel very comfortable with his opinion and skills. I have years of sun damage skin and I'm sensitive about my skin, but I appreciate him being right to the point and direction on what needs to be done for my health. read more

My wait time was not long at all especially for me being a new patient. The receptionist was very kind and explained all the paperwork I was signing. The actual appointment was very short and felt like it should have been longer. Dr. Murthy was friendly and made sure I was comfortable. read more

I saw Dr Murthy and was very pleased with the care that she provided me. She was friendly, caring and professional. Unlike the previous dermatologist that I saw who seemed to care more about selling high dollar elective aesthetic treatments, Dr Murthy seemed to value my routine skin exam and treatment as much as expensive procedures. The wait time wasn't bad and the office staff were friendly and professional. I am very pleased with my new dermatologist. read more

I must say that after all the rave reviews I expected better. I THINK I was examined enough to rule out any skin cancers and I am grateful for that three minutes of attention. However, I also wanted to discuss the changes in my skin (pigmentation and little wart-like things) and got nowhere except go talk to the other office where they do procedures like the micro-needling. Well, I did, interrupting 3-4 young women who were hesitant to even answer by basic questions and I finally asked, "do I need to make an appointment to get this information" and they responded with a yes. Obvious, they do not need me to return. read more

Rushed me in and out for my first 3 visits. On my 3rd visit I had to remind Dr. Krell to sanitize my finger before he cut it with a scalpel. He asked me if I saw him sanitize it or not!! That truly worries me. On my fourth visit they lost track of my chart, and my 9:45 appointment lasted until 12 before I could see Dr. Krell. Got the prescriptions I needed, but overall the service has been sub par. However my only reason to recommend this place is because they have a pharmacy downstairs, making it a one stop destination for appointments and prescriptions. read more

dr krell was not good to me. came into the room like he was selling me something off shark tank... he never once explained what was going on with my wart on my finger. never again i will always stay with dr. hill read more

Been a while since I was able to go to the cosmetic center at Total Beauty and skin care. Yesterday was the day! Ann Bevelle my go to person for skin care met me masked up and with a smile with her eyes! Had the most wonderful treatment with Skin Pen. I felt so safe, relaxed and refreshed. Like a vacation for my face. If you need any help with skin care please be sure to Remember Total Skin and Beauty. Ask for Ann Bevelle! She is 5 star!!!!! read more

Saw Dr. Hill today about some spots that have developed with aging. She was very nice and took time with me to answer all my questions. As we were finishing, I asked about treatments for my acne scars that I have had for years. She recommended a cosmetic procedure and explained why this one over another. The wait was very short and the staff were all friendly and helpful. I couldn't have been happier. read more

Rushed. Dr was unprofessional and I don't think she like African Americans that much either.

I saw Dr. Murthy at the Bessemer location and she was not interested in treating me for the reason I made the appointment. When I went in, the receptionist printed the wrong person for me to verify the information. She asked for a copay for a BCBS patient which I am not. I did not feel good about my visit there and will not return. read more

I have been visiting Total Skin and Beauty for over 20 years. Love each and every dermatologist in this group. My dermatologist is Dr. Hill. She is very special, professional, and sweet. read more

Dr Appell is the best! I had some skin lesions removed today. She took care of the issue with no pain. Very detailed to make sure every suspicious area was removed. She is also amazing with Botox and fillers. Never over done. I also finally had some time to see Ann Bevelle in the cosmetic center. Ann has helped me with my skin care for about 4 years. She is so supportive and will always recommend something if your skin needs change. When I leave after having any procedure my skin glows and feels refreshed! These two Dr. Appell and Ann are the winning team for skin care! read more

Tuscaloosa office..First visit, first impression. Doctor & Staff were late returning from lunch. Door was locked & other patients where waiting out side in the cold. Office was sublet from another business that was shut down (their sign was still in front of the office). The office was poorly equipped with a chair that that broke when Dr Krell sat in it. Equipment was open (not sterile). The office staff did not take any paper work from the patient. The examination was extremely fast and abrupt. Dr Krell did not use gloves for the exam. Dr Dr Krell prescribed medicine with out any knowledge of patient history or allergic reactions to medicine. read more

I for one appreciate efficiency so I'm a fan of total skin and beauty. I've been multiple times and have never waited more then 5 minutes in the waiting room before my name was called. Dr Glick has been great and I appreciate the fact that shes not afraid to cut something that looks suspicious. I'd much rather her cut off a suspicious mole rather then saying we'll keep an eye on it or freeze it. The appointments are always quick but I've never felt rushed and Dr. Glick is always happy to answer any questions I may have. I've referred multiple friends & co-workers here and will continue to do so. read more

I've been to Total Skin and Beaty twice. 4 stars for Dr. Monheit. 1 for Zoey Glick. Our busy was rushed. She wasn't interested in listening and there was no care for my medical history or long term skincare goals. This place is a machine rushing people in and out. I wouldn't recommend them unless you have a simple dermatology need. read more

I had the un-fortunate opportunity to have to utilize the services of this clinic. I developed a couple of skin cancers on my face. I was referred to Total Skin by my regular Dr. To begin with the facility is first rate. It's divided into different specialties depending on the type care you require. I had a regular consult to plan the course of treatment. Then a visit to do the actual treatment. My latest visit was to remove stitches and for the Dr to check the results. I was given a clean bill of health with an appointment for 3 months just to make sure all is well. If you are in need of any skin care I would definitely recommend these guys . read more

Let me start off by saying that I am a female in my early 20s. I have dealt with acne for almost 11 years of my life. It has been bad before but in NO way would I call my acne severe. I saw Dr. Hill today. I saw her for the first time back a few months ago and the prescrpition she gave me for my acne didn't help. When I told her this she insisted that the best thing to do was to go on Accutane. I have many family members in the medical field and I know Accutane should only be used for severe acne as a last resort. She gave me the information about the side effects and left the room. When she came back I explained that I did not feel comfortable with taking this medication after reviewing the side effects. I won't get into detail about them, but if you are wondering why I was concerned just Google the side effects for Accutane. You will see why I was concerned. Dr. Hill acted like I was stupid for not wanting to take it. She made comments like "Don't you want your acne to go away? You're going to have to risk having the side effects if you do." The side effects are outrageous and not something I felt safe doing to my body. It was very concerning to hear my doctor pretty much tell me that the only solution was a high risk medicine when I know that's not the only option. She ended up writing me another higher dosage prescripition of what I was on before. The whole time she was in the room I felt like she just assumed that since I am young I am completely naive about what's best for my body. She is not personable at all and has no bedside manner. I felt rushed the whole time and like I was an annoyance. My entire time at the office only lasted about 30 minutes. If you want to get in and out then this is the place. If you want to feel like you're being listened to go somewhere else. The bottom line is I don't reccommend this place if you want a doctor that will care about you. *Update* Dr. Hill did not tell me that the new prescription she gave me needed to be taken in moderation. I have chemical burns on my face because I used the medicine daily like she told me. Upon speaking to my pharmacist, you are supposed to use moisturizer the week prior to starting the medicine and then use it intermittently until your body builds up a tolerance. This was never mentioned during the appointment. I would definitely reccommend going to a different dermatologist. read more

I have been going to Total Skin and Beauty for almost 15 years. Dr. Appell has always been my dermatologist. I have had many skin issues that have always been taken care of promptly and professionally. Dr. Appell is also very good with fillers and has always done a great job on my face. I truly appreciate her advice on medical and cosmetic dermatology. I would recommend her to anyone having skin issues. read more

Dr. Michele Hill has treated my children and me for a skin disease. She was thoroughly prepared before asking additional questions of us during the exam period. (One of my frustrations with other physician practices is giving them written details that they didn't read or remember.) The process is smoother and more reassuring when physicians like Dr. Hill take the necessary review time and effort. read more

I've seen Dr. Appell for years. She knows her stuff. Dr Monheit is excellent if you need surgery, which I have, unfortunately. The only complaint I have about Total Skin and Beauty is how long it takes to be seen. I've never been where I've waited less than an hour or so to be called back. More than once I've had to reschedule and leave because a couple of hours have passed. Once you get put in a room, you are seen quickly, though. read more
