I was worried at first that I may not find a parking space but was very impressed by how convenient the parking structure was to getting to the clinic. And this is no small business by no means there are many people working behind the scenes that you don't see in the front. It was my first time I had visited a dermatology before. I felt the doctors and assistants were very professional and very easy to speak to about some not so easy to speak about issues. I felt very comfortable and would definitely refer friends and family to this practice.

They looked at my problematic acne areas and prescribed me pills and ointment right away. First ones made me feel so nauseas I couldn't even do anything and had to take them twice a day. When I let them know they changed the prescription for the antibiotic which I took along with probiotics for 2 weeks and the only difference I see is my messed up stomach, constant heartburn but no visual improvement of my condition. I would give 1 star but the doctor was really nice

5 stars for Dr. Lee but 1 star for the rude front desk. Will be going back to receive a procedure from the doctor as he is knowledgeable with a good bed side manner. I don't know if the front desk personal have been ill treated by previous clients but the front desk is the first impression of the office so they should really work on their attitudes. They could lose clients due to their off putting manners.

Dr Pelle is an amazing dermatologist. She is so knowledgable and can identify anything unusual and treat it completely. Be sure to schedule an appointment early because she is very booked up

Dr Pelle is my favorite doctor ever, by a long shot. Smart, knowledgeable, determined. I've been a patient of hers for 10 years. The people here complaining that she's rude or that she has a bad bedside manner are mistaken. Recently, during a particularly bad bout of cystic acne, I went and saw Dr Pelle. When she came into the patient room, I started crying and confided that I was depressed from the bad acne.
A few days later, Dr Pelle personally called me to see how I was doing. I can't imagine a higher standard of care or a more concerned medical provider. I also see Dr Pelle for Botox. She is SO damn good at placement of the injections that she doesn't have to use very many units to get the job done. I once went to a med spa because the price per unit was significantly cheaper, but the results were crap.
I will never let anyone else put Botox in my face besides Dr Pelle. I've also had several laser resurfacing procedures to treat acne scarring with various providers at the office. The laser hurts, but the providers are all kind and tolerant of my tears hahaha.
