Affiliated Dermatology in Scottsdale has been incredible for me, and Dr. Lal is truly the best…read more After a nurse at a medical spa in San Diego burned my face with an IPL treatment, I spent nine months healing from second-degree burns. I was left with hypopigmentation on my cheeks and scarring on my chin and nose. I found Dr. Lal through a recommendation, and he has been the one guiding me through the remediation and healing process. He travels often for speaking engagements and he sees a lot of patients, so there can be a wait, but he is absolutely worth it. He knows exactly what he's doing, explains everything clearly, and will never recommend anything harmful or unnecessary. You can tell he genuinely has your best interest in mind. On top of that, he's funny, personable, and just has a great heart. They have billed my insurance and i have self paid without issue. I do book in advance because i want to keep things on schedule. On a rare occasion they have had to reschedule they have made every effort to accommodate. I rarely wait long to be seen but when there is a delay i don't mind. He is incredibly busy and takes such good care of me and my skin. Its because when he sees a patient he is 100% present and sometimes things take longer than expected. The staff is amazing mianni and yossana are the best medical assistants I have ever met in my entire life and I'm not exaggerating. I've gone to Morgan for injectable's and would highly recommend her. They are definitely the assets. The front desk people are really friendly and do a great job accommodating all the requests. I see Nikki the most and her efficiency - I'm sure its not easy being the main point of contact at such a busy practice but they do a great job The lobby is pleasant and parking is easy. I take the stairs but there is an elevate if mobility is a challenge. If you're looking for a dermatologist or need help with difficult skin issues, I highly recommend getting a consultation with Dr. Lal.

I can summarize my review of Mr. Lal in five words; this guy is a quack. I will refrain from…read morereferring to him as a doctor as he has not earned that title with me. I first met with Mr. Lal for a vitiligo study back in 2023. My first visit was an absolute disorganized mess. I reported to the address I was given, but the receptionist had no idea who I was, who Mr. Lal was, or even vaguely familiar of a vitiligo study that was literally happening in that office. It turns out Mr. Lal was using a back room of affiliated dermatology to conduct this study. I assume he did not have permission. I worked primarily with his two medical assistance, who likely never attended medical school, as they were also the most disorganized "medical professionals" I have ever encountered. Mr. Lal was late to every one of my visits, which were at least weekly, sometimes more frequent. I waited for up to an hour at times, at his mercy, and he never made an apology once. Part of the study required using the Excimer laser to burn off layers of skin in the affected areas. It was obvious Mr. Lal had never used an Eximer before. He literally caused the third-degree burns on my hands. I have had previous experience with the laser, and in trained hands, it is not as destructive as it was in Mr. Lal's hands. I did not complete the study. I drove over two hours every week to be treated by imbeciles who had no business involving themselves in such a complex study. I bailed before the study was complete. I hope it caused a financial loss for Mr. Lal, as he deserves nothing for his incompetence.

Oh my goodness, I cannot believe that I've neglected to review these folks. I've been seeing…read moreJacqueline Reveal for years and followed her here when she moved. The staff is friendly and attentive. Jacqueline listens and asks follow up questions, and then listens again. I cannot stress enough how important it is to feel like you're being heard, and their asking follow up questions are a good sign that they are actually listening - rather than just thinking about the next task they're going to perform or what they'll say next. I've never felt like she's talking down to me, or like I'm not important. I know that they don't allow a lot of time for office visits, but I always feel like I'm not a bother and can take as much time as I need. I use this office for Gyn, HRT, and weight loss (GLP-1). I moved to San Diego and have maintained my relationship with them and use her telehealth services. The rule is that I have to visit once a year, and I've already scheduled a trip to AZ to visit her and some friends (obviously not at the same time). The front desk staff is friendly and help make you feel comfortable. I just had an email exchange with a gal named Tamara Greene about ordering my mammy and she was fast and super nice. (ps - I very rarely share photos while reviewing places, because I prefer to leave the photography to the professionals, but you're especially not going to get a photo of my visit here..... I'm cracking myself up as I'm typing that.) I highly recommend these nice folks!

My visit was 5-stars my doctor was kind, thorough, and I trusted her. I paid my copay, was seen quickly, and had a biopsy taken while there. Awesome. My results came back and were delivered to me. Yay. Just about 2 months later, I'm getting bills via email and text from pinnacle dermatology, for the amount of my copay. No description of what it's for or even my name. No account or billing number. I thought it was sketchy so I called the main number. Transferred to billing, and the lady told me that the bill was correct. Um, what's it for? Finally got out of her that it was a separate co-pay for the lab. Ok, am I getting a real bill? She said it's being mailed but they send out the texts and emails first. I tell her ok, I'll pay it if it's legitimate once I receive the real bill, but fyi it's pretty backwards to send electronic bills with no name or info before the bill is mailed. Comes across like a scam. She says "okay..." - then a long silence. Um, ok? So I didn't know what to say. She asks if there's anything else she can help me with. I'm thinking, clearly there is not. I laugh and say "no I guess there isn't" and she hangs up. Rude customer service turned a great experience into a total lack of trust.

They are absolutely money hungry at this clinic despite giving them substantial evidence of what a…read morepoor quality visit it was. Am left with terrible scarring all over my neck and the office manager is still harping about the payments without even any understanding or any empathy for the patient. They will send you text, postal mail, emails until that bill is paid in full and simple do not care about the patients suffering. Entire visit was a complete waste of time and got nothing out of it. God knows who owns them but they are definitely hiding behind the staff who gives u all kinds of excuses and stories.

0 stars! I went there at the recommendation of my family doctor and I regret going. We were charged…read moreover $800 and nobody told us we would be charged that ridiculous of an amount. We received a bill for over $500 and were shocked it was that much but paid it immediately. Several months later we received another bill for close to $300! It was a collection notice saying we hadn't paid. We already paid so we didn't know what to think. We called and the office staff said they couldn't help us because they work with an outside billing office and they couldn't see my file. What the heck? What office can't see your file? So I asked what we could do and they said call their outside billing office. We did that and the outside billing office told us there was nothing they could do and we would need to call the office. We already did that! We called back and the office manager was out of the office and we were told she would call us back. She never did. We called back 3x's and nothing. Then we received another collection notice in the mail saying we were very delinquent. We called the office again to ask them why we were getting billed again when we already paid the bill. The response, if you are dissatisfied with the service you should write the doctor. Are you serious?! No explanation for what the bill is for, no call back, and an office manager they can't be bothered to do her job. No way are we paying a bill that no one can explain to us. Stay away, far away and go some place else. The staff is incompetent and the doctor is not worth the money he charges.

First, I was concerned about going to a vascular surgeon. I initially went to the office for…read moreswollen painful ankles. The staff was exceptional. I was on the phone to schedule my initial appointment, and the lady at the front desk was extremely helpful in scheduling my appointments around my working schedule. I was always greeted with a friendly smile. Now for Dr. D'Souza. He was friendly and answered all of my questions on my first consultation. When I went for my first procedure, my son was with me and allowed to be in the room with me. My son asked questions and the doctor answered them willingly. This is the greatest and most of all, calming experience with medical professionals. Now no apprehension about returning. I highly recommend this doctor. I have checked reviews for other doctors in the same profession, and he is above all the best.

I joined the visit yesterday as Emily Kase is my wife's very trusted P.A.-C. I have met Emily several times the last few years and was vividly reminded what a world class professional technician she is. Her attention to the details is spot-on admirable. On top of this, she is genuine to the core. For me, it is her remarkably high level of emotional intelligence (E.Q.) which sets her apart from all the professionals we come in contact every month. This Practice is so blessed to have her as Emily could work most anywhere due to the special skills and TLC she extends to her patients.

Even though the hours state that they close at noon, there were three staffers working at the office to support a physician's assistant (PA). I was called into the exam room prior to my appointment time. The tech and I talked about my issues. She excused herself after we were done. A moment later a PA, walked in, introduced herself and we got down to business. I gave her a brief history of my issues. She recommended a topical ointment or if desired I could take an oral medication for quicker results. I opted for ointment. She also suggested a patch testing to see what might be bothering my skin. I will consider that as well. Shared parking outside.
