New patient first time here: beautiful office by the way, The appointment was for my husband and today he saw Quint Skipton PA-C. Check in process and waiting was pretty fast we didn't wait that long. (He was just here for an overall check since he has never seen the dermatologist) visit went well, luckily nothing bad was found on his skin. (Just a few sun spots) It was a pleasure seeing Quint, very professional, answering all of questions and concerns. Highly recommend and close by. See ya in a couple of months. Thank you read more

These ppl are not professional. First the person who helped me didn't even use gloves on several occasions. Second I called to set up a payment plan and the person who handles payment plans was not there and they didn't know when she would be back in office. This happened on Tuesday and instead of a call back my credit card was charged $175 dollars and I received an email saying "thank you for your payment." Mind you my acct is not passed due and I had just made a payment for $60. I highly DO NOT recommend this money hungry place. Hope this helps someone. read more

Will not be coming back. Receptionists were really nice and I saw were very nice to other patients. Though 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment time I was finally called into the back. The nurse who took me back seemed very uninterested and never once even looked at me. Once the PA came the whole appointment took less than 5 minutes and I left being told I would have a prescription ready and to take the medication asap. Once getting to the pharmacy more than an hour later I was greeted with the pharmacist saying they haven't received any prescription. When trying to call the clinic I was left with no one answering the phones and never got my medication. If you have the option DO NOT GO HERE. I wish I read other similar reviews before scheduling my appointment. read more

Worst customer Service ever. I rarely leave reviews but I have spent 5 months trying to rectify a billing issue. I have provided receipts (from the office) as well as proof of payment (bank statement), cannot get a call back from the office manager who is never available nor returns calls. I'm not sure if this incompetence or lack of regard for their patients. update: once I FINALLY was able to take to the office manager she was very helpful and was able to assist me. However very disappointing that it took this long for something so simple. read more

Unexpected Billing Issues and Poor Customer Service - Be Cautious!!! In September, I visited this dermatology office for a skin inspection due to a keratosis on my ear, wanting to ensure it wasn't cancerous. The doctor (or PA) assured me it was most likely benign and mentioned that removal and biopsy were optional. Since I was told the issue seemed non-threatening, I wasn't planning to pursue a procedure unless it was fully covered by my insurance. Before seeing the doctor, I asked the front desk if my insurance, under the Blue Cross Federal Employee Program, would cover both the visit and any necessary procedure. After checking my benefits, the front desk confirmed everything, including the procedure, would be covered under my $45 visit fee. I double-checked with the provider before consenting to the procedure, and they reassured me again. After the procedure, I confirmed one last time with the front desk that there would be no extra charges beyond the $45. To my shock, a month later I received a bill for over $100, covering the procedure and biopsy. I contacted both the office and my insurance. My insurance agent reviewed my Explanation of Benefits (EOB) and found the office's billing confusing. The agent suspected the office might not have verified my specific insurance plan correctly and instead relied on general Blue Cross coverage. Both the agent and I tried several times to reach the office's billing department, but long wait times made it nearly impossible. When I finally reached someone, the representative was rude, dismissive, and insisted that I was mistaken, claiming the office never promised the procedure would be covered. This has been an extremely frustrating experience. I feel misled and taken advantage of--if I had known there would be an extra charge, I would never have gone through with the procedure. Now I'm stuck with an unexpected bill, and the office refuses to acknowledge the misinformation I was given multiple times. On top of that, their billing department has been difficult to reach, and the one conversation I had was unprofessional and accusatory. I am deeply disappointed with the lack of transparency and poor customer service. I hope the office reaches out to resolve this issue, but based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this practice to anyone. Please be cautious when dealing with them and triple-check any information--especially regarding insurance and billing. read more

I recently visited this practice and couldn't be more pleased with my experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and courteous, making me feel at ease right away. The clinic itself is modern and spotless. Dr. Tabibians PA Natasha was professional/exceptional. She took the time to thoroughly assess my concerns, explain the treatment options, and answer all my questions. The expertise and approach made me feel confident and comfortable throughout the process. I am very happy with my results and I appreciate the follow-up care that was provided! read more

I have been a loyal patient at this clinic for over seven years, but lately, it has shifted from a patient-focused care facility to a profit-driven business. Patients are treated poorly, with the clinic prioritizing financial gain over proper care. Their lack of basic customer service and genuine patient care is disappointing, and it's places like this that contribute to rising healthcare costs because they squeeze out every dollar they can. I initially chose this clinic because I was a patient of Dr. Hazany even before he began performing MOHS surgery here. After his departure, I stayed despite the consistently unfriendly front desk staff (with the exception of the two gentlemen, who are decent) and the generally unwelcoming demeanor of most doctor's assistants. The only reason I remained was the trust I had built with Quint, and because changing clinics after so many years is difficult. However, I've finally had enough, and here's why: 1. On a recent visit, a female front desk staff member was extremely unfriendly and spoke to me disrespectfully while insisting I complete my profile history--despite my long-standing history at this clinic. 2. The doctor's assistant at the same visit was also rude. She proceeded to ask me all the same questions I had just answered at the front desk. When I pointed this out, she sarcastically responded, "It's policy that I ask these questions." 3. When checking out, I was handed a bill for $450 (after insurance coverage of $300). I asked to be billed as usual, but the clerk refused, insisting I pay immediately. At no point before the services were performed was I informed of the cost or given the opportunity to decide beforehand. I was also never notified that the billing policy had changed to require immediate payment. After years of consistently paying my bills on time and spending tens of thousands of dollars here (between insurance and copays), I was suddenly being treated as if I were untrustworthy. 4. I was required to schedule a follow-up visit just to receive my lab results, something that had never been necessary before. In the past, they would call as soon as results were available. Now, due to a policy change, I had to wait three weeks for an appointment--despite lab results typically taking only a week. When I arrived, I was charged an office visit copay just to receive a simple two-minute results review. That was the final straw. It wasn't about the $35 copay--it was about the principle. Forcing patients to return unnecessarily and charging them for it (along with billing their insurance) is exploitative. If someone is awaiting critical results, such as a cancer diagnosis, they deserve immediate answers, not unnecessary delays and additional charges. This clinic has lost its integrity, and I can no longer support it. read more

Really nice about it and agreed to try and fix it. She met with me and once so far and already one of the spots is starting to look a little better. Hopefully good pic to follow. read more

There have been many times here where they mess up my prescription and I have to call over and over again to get it fixed. This last time I have been trying to get my prescription for almost 2 weeks. I'm not sure what is going on over there but it seems very unorganized and I'm so sick of having to deal with it. Im never coming back once I'm done with my accutane and definitely telling people to stay far away. read more

I absolutely love The Physician Assistant Quint Skipton at this Advanced Dermatology office. He is so knowledgeable, and extremely kind and personable. He takes one look at your area of concern and boom..... he knows exactly what you need and he just does it. I am so impressed with his ability to know what I need. Thank you Skip, I am forever grateful for your care and attention. Sincerely, Sharon Corodimas. read more

Dr Tabibian has a great personality. Handles skin cancers well. It's a crowded office but the wait is short.

The doctor was very professional and attentive. This review is for their billing department. I was charged $470 directly and they charged my insurance as well, resulting in a duplicate payment. I have made several attempts to request my refund since September without success; BCBS has been notified and tried contacting them several times as well. Their department has promised a refund, but not responded even following up as no refund was made. BCBS and I have proceeded to report this as insurance fraud. Please be aware of their fraudulent practices. read more

EDIT: I got the bill today, and this is the same procedure they have been doing on my son every single time, but for some reason they called and wanted $150 immediately after the procedure instead of billing my insurance and my Co-pay is $84.18. No idea what is wrong with the office, but we are not going back. Sorry not to be able to go through insurance like a normal office, and sorry to miss Dr. Quint. But we use insurance and have NEVER paid late. I will not be harrassed and threatened like that ever again. First of all, performed a surgery on a minor without parental consent or being present!!! Malpractice..... Dr. Quint is amazing, but unfortunately, his office staff is horrible. My bill was 3 weeks old when they told my 17 year old if I didn't call the office by 5 pm that same day they would send us to collections! This was last month. They upset my and and angered me. Then the girl lied and said she didn't say that. She said what she said is, "If you don't pay your bills, eventually they go to collections." NOPE... THEN she says, "HAVE YOUR SON CARRY A CREDIT CARD WITH HIM"! I say, "No way I'm sending a credit card to high school, especially a HSA card that could be used and emptied. " I paid the three week old bill that day. Today, a month later, they did a procedure on him and I wasn't there as he's driving now. They called and asked for $150 today! I was in the car so of course will have to go home to pay. She says, "We will need a credit card on file from now on." Guess what, I will not go back. I'll take my son to my derm, Dr. Martinez at Coastal Dermatology even though I have to pay $180 as my son will be a first time visit rather than pay these rude people a cent more than what is due from today. Dr. Martinez staff bills like normal people. He is also quite good and does extractions, Botox, everything you need. My whole family will be going to him from now on. Maybe they have issues with slow pay from other people, but now we are leaving because of the poor treatment, so they will have NO pay from us in the future. I hope the manager is proud of his new policy, because he just lost all our future business. read more

Great office. I'd been dealing with a seasonal skin issue for the past 15 years and after numerous doctor visits and 2 other dermatologist visits advanced dermatology was finally able to help me remedy my skin issue. I'd highly recommend this office. Appointment booking was a breeze. read more

Highly recommend this office! I've seen every provider in this office. I have been treated for Acne, Hair loss, mole removals, rashes.....literally everything. The two female providers, Diane and Natasha are so sweet and kind!!!! Quint and Dr. Tabibian are also very kind and attentive. I love all the staff. They are busy but always have a smile on their faces and accommodate patients. I cant say enough good things! I'm very grateful for this office! read more

Dr Tabbibian and the staff are excellent!! No hesitation recommending this office every time!! read more

Very unprofessional! I had a bad experience previously, the doctor is a bit opinionated and offers unwelcome questions. Bottom line is, I am paying you for a service, provide it and do keep your inquisitiveness to yourself! Lastly, after having waited for over a 1/2 an hour, I overheard, oops does the doctor know there is one last patient! read more

Dr. Quint Skipton is the best dermatologist I've seen! My whole family goes to him...even my 94-year-old grandmother. He is very nice, professional, and genuinely cares for this patients. He has helped me with my skin, and I couldn't be happier with it. I recommend him to anyone! Thank you! read more

I want to tell everyone about how amazing Dr. Skipton is! He has helped me after a year and a half of going to doctors looking for a solution to a a lip condition and he has been the only doctor to help me find relief. My family and friends have all gone to Dr. Skipton and everyone always leaves their appointments so satisfied with his care. Make sure when you call to book an appointment you ask for Dr. Skipton, you will not be disappointed! read more

I just went to their practice for the first time today and I'm one of those kind of people that's nervous about going to the doctor. I just want to say the front desk girl Emily was not only warm and inviting but super classy and made me want to come back. And then just to try to explain the nurse practitioner Natasha, she was beyond amazing. professionalism class and grace and be honest with you gave me such a piece of mind I would recommend them 1000 times!!! read more

Decided to give it another try, it's the closet dermatology clinic to my house. On my second appointment, the wait time was very short and the staff apologized for the bad experience I had during my first visit. read more

Dr Tibbian is great! He sees all the little things I miss. When my grand baby had a weird sand worm in his skin his office got him in the same day! I was so very grateful! read more

The very best around. I have had Mohs surgery and a skin graft and radiation therapy on a diff place.

I get cysts on my face and Dr. Skipton took care of them no problem! He then put me on some meds so they don't come back. He made me feel comfortable and gave me a price break since I paid out of pocket. He is a great doctor and super nice guy. read more

I've been coming to Dr. Tabibian for many years and this review is well overdue. Dr. Tabibian is an amazing dermatologist with attention to detail and truly cares about his patients. He'll always sit there and answer all of my annoying questions with a smile on his face. His staff is AMAZING!!! Highly recommend Dr. Tabibian and Advanced Dermatology Care!!! read more

I went to this office for the first time. I am totally impressed by the care I was given by Quint Skipton, PA-C. He is outstanding. He sat down with me and took the time to find out why I came in. He explained in depth and treated all of my concerns. He was so friendly, polite and kind. I highly recommend going to this dermatologist. The staff were all polite and professional. read more

Dr. Tabibian and his staff are FANTASTIC! His office is clean and well organized, well designed and inviting. The patients are greeted by staff with a smile and positive demeanor. Dr. Tabibian is very personable and takes time to listen to his patients! He takes time to speak with the patient regarding diagnosis and choices in treatment. He also offers a great line of skin and beauty products. I highly recommend Dr. Tatibian his staff at Advanced Dermatology Care. read more

Michael Tabibian was able to quickly identify my problem and further expand on what was going on. He quickly prescribed immediate medication solutions I was seeking without me even requesting, and explained how they would benefit my situation. I highly recommend Michael Tabibian as a dermatologist. If I could describe him it two words it would be helpful and efficient. Other two words would be: Absolute Unit. No politics or wishy washy answers. To the point and Helping the People! All doctors should emulate Michael! read more

For future patients, please make sure you ask how much they will charge in addition to whatever your insurance covers. At first, the doctor said my meds would be covered by my insurance but it turned out I had two pay $70 for the two items. He sent a wrong e-prescription to the pharmacy, making me wait another week for my med! In addition to the copay $40, they also sent me a bill for over $100 saying my insurance refused to pay. I had allergy reaction on my face and the doctor gave me a simple procedure (injection and med). I rejected to pay them $100 and they "discounted" to $31! This office has lost me. I will never ever come back again! read more

I took my daughter here for a rash. It was incredibly itchy and her school would not allow her to attend since they did not know what was causing it. The doctor performed a punch biopsy (without telling me that this is not covered by insurance) and than never called when they received the results. Somewhere in the volumes of paperwork they said that I had to set up an account to access a portal that would have given me that information. It might have been nice if they had taken a moment to tell us, especially knowing that it was causing such a disruption in our lives. The diagnosis? (which I received from someone else) - bug bites. I would have thought that a competent dermatologist could have diagnosed this at the time of the original visit. Instead she had another week of pain and missing school and we are out many hundreds of dollars for substandard care. read more

I only go to advanced dermatology for my Botox. I pay for it in full the day that I have it done and twice in one year I've received invoices for $100 and $150. I don't understand. I'm never going back to Advance dermatology again. read more

Very poor patient care. Called months in advance AND filled out forms stating which insurance I had in advance, prior to ever showing up to the office. I specifically called and asked if they took my insurance (which they said they did) and when I get there they say they don't. I appreciate the girl at the front who called my insurance but seriously you had my information months in advance and I called in advance. Waste of my time read more

I went in for a wart on my finger and I had the wart removed the first time without any issues. The second time I went in, I was seen by the PA who injected my finger to numb it. She then instructed the medical assistant to prepare the next steps. The medical assistant did not follow instructions and then injected my finger again causing my finger to swell more than 2 times its normal size. They requested to see me again due to the swelling in my finger and their mistake by numbing my finger twice. They charged me and my insurance for that visit when they made the error that forced me to come back in. I have never experienced a doctor's office making a mistake like this and then profiting off of it read more

I went to Advanced Dermatology Care on the recommendation of a coworker. I had a cyst on my head that I wanted removed. The staff was phenomenal and Dr. Michael Tabibian surgically removed the cyst painlessly. It took 13 stiches and somehow Dr. Tabibian sewed my head up in a way that left no scare, amazing!!!! I would recommend Advanced Dermatology Care to anyone!!!! read more

I was able to schedule an appointment quickly and they verified my insurance before walking in. The office was clean and the staff were friendly. Dr. Tabibian and his staff showed me compassion and I felt my concerns were addressed. read more

Worst experience I've ever had at a doctor's office. Feels like a scam or a front for some other kind of enterprise. I can't help but feel Dr. Michael Tabibian is playing some kind of joke on his patients that the rest of us aren't in on. After an unusually long wait in the waiting room after waiting a month for my appointment, the extremely disinterested Dr. Tabibian flippantly threw a diagnosis off the top of his head at me with minimal examination. The kicker? He refuses to work with normal pharmacies and instead will refer you to a shady place called Grand Specialty Pharmacy (owned by his relative or friend, I'd guess). This place might not even have a physical location as they insist on delivering medications to you, after a several hundred dollar markup for even regular problems. So go in for a regular skin issue that a generic $2 with insurance antibiotic prescription would clear up, get billed a $40 copay and a several hundred dollar medication delivery from some shady mail-a-pharmacy that you normally only see ads for slanging "blue chew by mail" on porn sites. What an amazing racket. Makes me wish I became a dermatologist instead of being an unsuspecting mark who goes to the doctor because I needed actual help but instead am worse off than before. Oh another thing. You have to pay for parking to get to their building and their office does not validate. But they are willing to sell you parking validation stamps! So awesome to see multiple money-making ventures out of the same doctor's office. Maybe they could sell sodas and snacks next to where you sign in, too! read more

Quint Skipton was amazing. I went in for my acne and he got me treated right away and popped some of my pimples! Great personality too.

Highly recommend Quint Skipton! Made me feel extremely comfortable during my visit. Knows his stuff! Listens to your issues carefully and just like that, takes care of them! I will always go to Quint Skipton for all of my dermatology needs! Thank you Quinton. My skin looks amazing!! read more

Hats off to Emily at the front desk, NP Diane and Lee for their upmost professionalism and attention to detail. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for cutting edge care. read more

Dr Tabibian is wonderful. Very personable. Takes a great approach to making sure I don't have any bad "spots"
