I have been dealing with eczema flare-ups since January 2025. I went to so many doctors trying to…read morefind someone who could help me, but nothing seemed to work. Every time a flare-up came back, it seemed like my eczema was getting worse. Eventually, the itching became an all-day, everyday struggle. My flare-ups stopped going away and started spreading to other areas of my body.
I went on the hunt to find the first clinic that would take me, and that is how I found PH Dermatology.
The first time I visited the facility, I was honestly embarrassed because of how bad my eczema had become. I was so uncomfortable and frustrated with my skin. I was seen by a doctor whose name I unfortunately don't remember, but I want to say thank you for helping me that day.
I was still dealing with unbearable itching and could barely sleep. My eczema wasn't just affecting my skin anymore--it was affecting my quality of life. I couldn't control the scratching because the itching was so intense.
Within that same week, I returned to the clinic, and that's when I met Crystal C. and Dr. Rinker.
When I say they are the best, that is truly an understatement. They are so attentive, compassionate, and determined to help. They make an amazing team. You can tell how much Crystal respects and appreciates working with Dr. Rinker. Even when Dr. Rinker steps out of the room, the way Crystal speaks about her gives you a sense of hope that you're finally in the right hands.
When I first met Dr. Rinker, she told me she was going to help me--and she did exactly that.
I may have only seen Dr. Rinker about four times, but the difference has been life-changing for me. I have been completely free of itching since September 10, 2026.
After all this time of suffering, scratching, losing sleep, and feeling hopeless, being able to say that I am no longer constantly itching means so much to me.
Thank you, Dr. Rinker and Crystal C., for listening to me, caring about what I was going through, and not giving up on helping me. I am truly grateful.
