A good experience all around. Got in quickly when I asked for an appointment. I had just a little trouble finding their office. I got into the little back room quickly. The Dr. was considerate, thoughtful & courteous. I was out of their office in half an hour as they indicated to me before the visit. I had trouble filling out the forms on line. I couldn't find the Send button to hit but I guess they got all the information they needed about me. The forms I had to fill out when I got there were long but necessary for them, I guess. ~Cynthia~

I have been seeing Dr. Avila for over a year now and I have to say she is awesome. I have had bad acne since the age of 13, but she started me on Acutane and I am seeing the results already. She is fast, but answers all questions and gets the job done without being rude or judgmental.
