Dr. Thosani is not only beautiful on the outside, but even more so on the inside. She has an incredible bedside manner, takes her time to thoroughly explain everything, and makes sure you understand the "why" behind the treatment plan. I was especially impressed when I needed staples in my head. I was hesitant at first, but she carefully explained why staples would be better than stitches in my case. She even drew out a diagram to show how staples would allow for better healing and hair growth compared to sutures. That level of care and attention truly went above and beyond. Everyone in the office was so kind and welcoming. The entire staff made me feel comfortable from start to finish. Her medical assistant, Gio, was absolutely fabulous as well. Dr. Thosani is knowledgeable, skilled, serious when she needs to be, yet warm and even funny -- she made the entire experience much easier than I expected. As someone who works in the medical field, I know how rare it is to find a provider who combines exceptional skill, genuine compassion, and true passion for what they do. This practice has it all wrapped into one. It may be an hour drive for me, but it is 100% worth it. I'm so glad I did my homework and found this place. They are simply off the charts amazing. I must add I felt absolutely no pain whatsoever, not even the numbing shots. Gio had a very light hand seriously didn't feel anything.

In addition, I was REQUIRED to give them my credit card number for their retention and for future use even though I paid cash for my co-pay. My first impression is that Modern Dermatology does not trust that I will come to my appointments. Here is part of their no show policy. The following is our No-Call / No-Show policy: * Non-surgical patients who fail to call or show will be charged a $50 fee. * Aesthetic patients who fail to call or show will be charged a $100 fee. * CO2 Laser patients who fail to call or show will be charged a $150 fee. * Surgical patients who fail to call or show will be charged a $200 fee. * Mohs procedural patients who fail to call or show will be charged a $200 fee. * If a third failure to call or show occurs, the patient may be dismissed from MODERN Dermatology. * This "no-show charge" is not reimbursable by your insurance company. You will be billed directly for it. * New patients who are no-call/no-shows for their appointments will not be rescheduled.

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.

Dr. Walter was recommended to me by my dermatologist for Mohs surgery. From the start of…read morescheduling the appointment to when I walked out after the procedure, everything went smooth. The nurse, Alisha , was amazing, she took the time to explain everything to me and when I had questions, took the time to answer. That might seem like that is the job of the nurse the difference for me was the delivery. Dr. Walter was fantastic the whole step of the way. Her and Alisha made me comfortable just by having a casual conversation as she was doing the procedure. It really helped to take my mind off everything. Thank you, I appreciate the kindness you both showed.

That being said, we continue to be pleased with the care from all of the doctors and support team at this office and we will continue to go here but will miss Dr. Two. Consider this review a friendly reminder to WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN and get your annual full body screens too. I do that and even still, have to typically get treatment of one form or another. I'll be seeing Dr. Walters for a Mohs surgery soon - likely as a result of sun damage... and if you're still reading this review, please wish me luck with that. I know I'm in the best of hands. I am grateful to have found this practice for myself and my family.

They are both fantastic doctors with exceptional skills and bedside manner. Dr Ogrich is an excellent surgeon with a gentle hand. She delivers incredible results. She repaired a previous car accident repair on my face and I never thought it would ever heal but it did and you can't even tell it was ever an issue. It is amazing. Truly. Then, she removed an unusual skin tumor and once again the results are exceptional. With the addition of Dr Latowsky's laser treatments, this entire year of medical issues is becoming a distant memory. I am so lucky to have these exceptional doctors in my life and on my team and couldn't recommend them more.

I spoke w Jenna-Manager in 2025 and explained my situation and understood my situation and agreed that No credit card would be needed on file. I was seen in 2026 and was not an issue until another visit. I saw the provider and said someone would call me. I spoke to Alyssa-Office Manager and explained situation. She stated she already spoke with Jenna-Practice Manager and I would need to leave credit card on file. They said they are being following the rules now for 2026. Explained I was already seen in early 2026 and nothing was said. She was rude and condescending. I asked to speak with Jenna and she will tell you the same thing. I still requested a call. No callback was received. Also, there was a note in my file to not allow cc on file per Jenna. Why is this not honored by Practice Manager?

I then sat in the waiting room for almost 40 minutes before going up to the front desk again to ask when I would be seen - it was then that they let me know they were running way behind schedule. Given that I had to pick my kids up by a certain time, they finally brought me back once I asked about the timing and I was only able to see a provider for a quick visit. My experience with the staff once I was see was great but I will have to reschedule my original appointment for a full body scan another day. Overall a decent medical experience but terrible timing and customer service experience.

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.

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.
