Horrible doctor. Lack of follow up post-op. Would never reccomend to anyone. They are clearly trying to cover up bad/honest reviews by incentivizing 5-star reviews. read more

Complete scam of a dermatologist. Had them remove skin tags under my arm. Used NOTHING to deaden the nerves. Just pulled scissors out of a package and snipped away. Left me with nice scars since their only remedy for bleeding was a band-aid. They insisted on removing a questionable mole (which I was never shown and now questioning if it really existed) then charged me $1000 for a procedure they quoted at a couple hundred dollars. Now I am stuck with a six inch scar on my back, two scars in my armpits, and a bill at roughly 5x what I was quoted. Do NOT use them! Only giving them one star because zero is not an option. read more

Went a couple month ago, took about 15 minutes with the dermatologist. They didn't address my moles or my rosacea only gave an acne medication that I'm am almost out of and it never worked. I've had to go back to my doctors in Florida because the moles were a big concern. They never called me back with an itemized receipt, since they cost more than my Florida doctor who actually fixes my skin issues, and sent for the first time in my life a bill to collections. They did not resolve any of my issues. My Florida doctor did though. read more

I only have great things to say about Derm and Laser center!!! I have been to both their locations in Charleston and Summerville and both are gorgeous, clean and filled with friendly staff!! I got a really great Hydrafacial from Danielle which left my skin GLOWING for days. I also love their Emsculpt NEO device and Emsella!! I highly recommend doing all three treatments when you go! read more

Well, I glad I searched online for a Dermatologist that could help with my problematic skin. Over the years, I developed Brown spots and small skin tags. I also noticed my hairline was thinning, too. Dr. Walker examed my face and on the scalp. She quickly put my fears at ease. She removed several of the tags and small moles on my face. The process was quick and not as painful as I imagine it will be. I completely freak out moments before the procedure. The nurse calmed my fears and helped me with my anxiety. Dr. Walker recommends me to Ashley. To follow up with some other facial services. Overall, Dr. Walker and the other ladies were professional and personal. I feel like I've been going there for years. However, I've only been there a few times. Thank you, Dr. Walker, Ashley, and the other ladies. read more

Such an amazing dermatology office with incredible staff! Madeline and Kia were so so helpful and kind! 10/10 recommend

Dermatology and Laser Center of Charleston on Henry Tecklenburg Drive in West Ashley is an excellent source for all things dermatology and skin care. The professionals here are knowledgeable and caring and work hard to make sure that the best care is provided. The facility is very nice and they are well worth a visit if you need dermatology help. read more

See all

I have visited twice now and plan to go back for another follow up. My first visit didn't seem too helpful and I just got recommended a bunch of expensive products. but I got some great advice the second time. They do seem to know their stuff. I plan to get some laser hair treatments as well and I was quoted a very fair price! read more

I have used these guys several times now and have never been disappointed. My skin problems are minor for the most part but I feel good knowing they keep track of things for me. There is no other skin care provider for me. Check em out. read more

I opted to go to this location because someone referred me. The receptionist on the phone was not super helpful. I had a good amount of questions and she made me feel as though I was bothering her. I arrived twenty minutes early for my appointment and was taken to a room about a half hour after my appointment time. The nurse (?) was very kind and made me feel comfortable, but once the doctor (finally) came in, she completely changed attitudes. The doctor was just like the receptionist- did not seem to care that I was a human being with concerns and not just a number on a folder giving them money. I received a card in the mail stating it has been about a year since my last check up and I should make a new appointment. I called and asked to be taken off of their contact list. I will be searching for a new dermatologist in the area. I gave them an additional star since their facilities were super nice and up to date, but it really only deserves one star. read more

Do you have sunspots or suspicious moles? See a Genuine dermatologist that isn't rushed or critical. Beautiful office and super friendly staff! I've tried some other places, and this is the best! read more

I began going to Dermatology & Laser Center of Charleston to see Kalen Ashford, PA, in hopes of alternate treatments for my rosacea which hadn't responded to previous medications. While my rosacea wasn't responsive to new treatments, Kalen referred me to the research center of Dermatology & Laser Center of Charleston. In the research department, I met Dr. Schlesinger. Over the last few years, I have gone through two clinical trials for two separate topical rosacea drugs. In the clinical research department, I have also had the pleasure of working with Linda and Nikita. Everyone at the center has been kind, compassionate, diligent, and thorough in their treatment. I highly recommend this practice. read more

West Ashley location is awesome. Staff are friendly and personable. Dr. Schlesinger takes time to listen as well as explain everything. I never feel rushed. read more

I just received an email for an appointment. I HATE THIS PLACE AND THESE PEOPLE. I did not call and have not spoke with them in over a year!!!!! When I called to cancel they didnt answer because it was 2 min from close. If i receive a bill for this i WILL be hiring an attorney!!! read more

Overall, this was not a good experience. The office staff made a great first impression, but Dr. Erin Walker did not leave me with a good feeling as a new patient. She is very knowledgeable, but seemed a bit flippant in her responses to some of my questions about finding the right products for eczema and acne. She even spoke over me a few times and gave a sarcastic glance to her assistant nurse as I tried to ask about and explain my skin care routine. She started off the appointment asking me, "what's going on," and taking a quick look, which was fine. But she never really asked much about my skin history or allergies, which I had to continually state were concerns for me. Knowing why this new breakout was different for me might have been helpful, but instead she just asked me to personally "rate" my breakout and then told me it was a "2" on her scale. That made me think she was planning to generalize what she saw and not consider factors that were particularly unique, new, and/or concerning for me. I wanted to understand more about a new breakout, how to treat acne alongside eczema, and the differences between my flare ups, but didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions. She really only asked specific questions after I asked some. However, she but did help provide a bit of clarity on what types of products to avoid for sensitive skin. Maybe it's just her personality, but I'm not likely to return. Lastly, do not expect to receive a visit summary at the end of your appointment. A basic print out of the doctor's diagnoses/instruction from the visit was a foreign concept to the front desk. I was asked to sign a medical release form for my own records to get any takeaway information at all and it ended up being just a sheet of insurance billing codes. read more

I tried photorejuvenation here and was nervous at first. But Lori was super nice and thorough in explaining the procedure to me that I felt very sure I was going to have a positive experience! I have my third session coming up soon and I have never seen my skin look this clear without makeup! I highly recommend this place. read more

Love the friendly, helpful staff and the fact that the practitioner took her time to hear my concerns.

Had a mole that changed, fortunately I was smart enough to go get it checked because sure enough, it was melanoma. Very glad I found such excellent doctors, and they quickly had the mole removed, and I'm in the clear a mere 2 weeks later after the diagnosis. I had zero issues with billing, or insurance, or anything at all. I was met with nothing but kindness and respect by all, and I give them an A++ rating. read more

I was referred to Dermatology & Laser Center by my family doctor, I was greeted by the nicest, most pleasant staff, & the doctor was absolutely the best, second visit remembered my dog even, they are a great very thorough with their treatments & very impressed, great place, great doctor, & great employees, so nice to see , thanks read more

Dr. Maino performed two MOHS surgeries on my face. The result are above my highest expectations. Expert, caring, patient, Dr. Maino is an excellent surgeon. Trust her. I do. read more

I'm sad to leave this place. I totally enjoyed my experience here. But the problem is they sent my last skin biopsy to a company in Tennessee and it was not covered by insurance. I called the company in Tennessee, and they said it was a huge problem with Dermatology and Laser of Charleston because many of their patients have Blue Essentials of S.C. insurance. Because of that extra expense, I had to change to a dermatologist that uses local labs. If you have Blue Essentials insurance coverage, this is not the place for you. But otherwise you will be well taken of here. I will miss Dr. Maino, Clinton and John. read more

Very friendly and professional staff. There are two sides to this place: the "medical" side and the "beauty" side. They diagnosed and treated my husband's skin cancer quickly (twice) and he barely has the faintest scars. When we were in the waiting area between surgery and stitching up, I saw a pretty steady stream of ladies, young and old, coming and going, some within a 15 minute time span. The "beauty" side does things like botox and lip injections, etc. I can't vouch for these services, but the medical part is top notch, as far as we are concerned. read more

Dr Schlesinger has been great during my whole melanoma experience and with the removal of my atypical area. Also, I really like Ian. He's super friendly and keeps the atmosphere light and makes me feel comfortable. read more

Hadn't been to a dermatologist for a couple of years. Timing was good had a lot of pre-cancerous cells taken care of.

I saw Dr. Scharnitz in the Newton office. He was everything I wanted in a doctor, knowledgeable, patient, caring, extremely thorough. He answered all my questions and listened to my concerns. I feel very lucky to have found him and his excellent staff. The office is a warm and caring environment, couldn't recommend him and his staff enough! read more

We had a wonderful experience with this clinic. They address my 13 year old daughter about her acne but still explained things to me.

I had a great experience here today. I chose this dermatologist because it is in the Boeing Roper St. Francis network. When I called and scheduled an appointment they got me in right away. When I arrived at the office I was pleasantly surprised with how nice and up-to-date the building is. It is not far from Roper St. Francis Hospital. I did not have a long wait at all to go back to the exam room. I came in to have my moles checked out to make sure they are not cancerous as I am very light skinned. I had moles biopsied with no problem, it was a little painful as to be expected. The physicians assistant I seen, nurse and student who was shadowing her were very friendly , very knowledgeable and addressed all of my concerns. I didn't see a doctor but I was fine with that. I will be going back in three months for a follow-up. I'm very pleased with this practice and highly recommend it. I do suggest filling out paperwork online before your appointment as it saves you a tremendous amount of time. read more

Other than the 30 minute wait in the exam room the visit was exceptional The reason I'll never go back is the way payment was collected When checking out no payment was requested They knew I was concerned about privacy Within just a few hours they exploited my "emergency" contact to extort payment I called to express my disappointment and have yet to get a response read more

My daughter and I have been patients for years and yesterday because of work, I completely forgot about my appointment. I feel terrible and called this morning to apologize and reschedule expecting to pay a small fee but not the $75 consult fee again when no consult had taken place. In all fairness I have missed one other time and they waived the fee, which I appreciated. I was planning on a couple of cosmetic procedures that they would make a lot more money on than the $75 but they care more about punishing me for missing than keeping their customer happy and coming back. There are too many choices in Charleston... We won't be back and I'll make sure to let as many people know exactly what kind of customer service they provide. So disappointed! read more

Dr. Walker is extremely professional and thorough. Answered all of my questions in a clear way. However, I am mainly writing this review for her assistant. I was having extreme anxiety before a procedure, and she went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. Everyone in this office is good at what they do, from check-in to check-out. read more

My overall experience was awesome. I left there feeling with a sense of confidence that I was in excellent hands concerning the reason for my visit. Everyone that I had encountered was super friendly and courteous. Dr. Frances Smith is amazing!! She answered all of my questions, concerns, and showed compassion. She took the time to explain the condition and the treatment that I would be receiving which had put me at ease. I definitely recommend this practice to anyone with any dermatological needs. read more

I have been a patient here for many years. I had one experience that was horrible. The office manager is one of the rudest people I have ever met. She was not helpful, her tone was offensive and abrasive. If the doctors know this is who represents their office then they should be ashamed. The procedure didn't even work, complete waste of time and money. If you can find another practice I would! read more

This office is great, very professional and courteous. I've been going here for years and have never had any problem with anything. I see Dr Schlesinger regularly and he is extremely knowledgeable and meticulous in his care. He's a Top Notch Dermatologist, I wouldn't go to anyone else to manage my numerous skin issues! read more

I have used Dermatology Laser Center for years. First for me, then for my sons. I have never had a bad experience. Our latest visit Gina was wonderful. My son's rashes have cleared up and he is feeling much better. I highly recommend them. read more

Loved this place. Was my first visit. Kalen was awesome. She checked an area of concern on my face, then paused, and asked if I had any other concerns! Very thorough, and not rushed. The young lady who took my history and prepared me to see Kalen was fabulous. (Wish I knew her name). Girls at front desk were so very nice, as well as the wonderful lady who checked me out! Highly recommend. read more

I'm an ICU physician and have been working tirelessly taking care of covid patients since the start of this pandemic. I use PPE and take all necessary precautions. I have been fortunate and have not been infected despite many months of taking care of these patients every single day. I was thrilled when the salons in Charleston opened and made an appointment at Dermatology and Laser Center of Charleston to get my lash extensions replaced after a night shift in the ICU. Apparently, at my first appointment, I was tired and just checked all "no" boxes on the questionnaire regarding symptoms (and apparently contacts). I showed up to my appointment wearing clean scrubs and a mask. There was no problem at that point and I got my lashes done without incident. We even chatted about the misinformation about covid and what I was seeing as an ICU physician. I made a second appointment for a lash fill two weeks later, again after a night shift. Despite a chaotic night shift, I stayed awake 3 hours after my shift for my appointment (it's the ONLY thing I'm doing for myself right now). This time, I checked the box on the questionnaire that I was in contact with covid patients (this time I wasn't even wearing scrubs). I was mortified at how I was suddenly treated. I was refused service and told that they weren't even sure that they could refund my deposit for the appointment. They weren't comfortable with me being there. I wear PPE and take all necessary precautions. I am asymptomatic and wear a mask always in public. My treatment by the staff at Dermatology and Laser Center of Charleston was nothing but unwarranted and ignorant discrimination. I have never felt more mortified in my life. Thank you so much for supporting your healthcare workers. Fear not, I will not be returning. read more

Professional and friendly staff. I have been there for both medical and cosmetic reasons and had great experiences. I would highly recommend them. read more

I have been going to Dermatology and Laser Center of Charleston from Day one and watch them grow out of their original location. I must say over the years I have seen just about everyone in the office for one procedure or another and everyone is just a professional and welcoming. I have recommended several people over the years and no one has been disappointed. Like I have always said it is a one stop for all your cosmetic needs. Thanks for keeping me feel and look the best I can! Emily G read more

I have been going there for many, many years. Dr. Tod Schlesinger is the most knowledgable in dermatology and skin-care. He is conservative and sensitive to his patients. His staff has been with him for a loooong time (which says a lot about him as well). He keeps up with the newest advances in both cosmetic and medical procedures which gives me great confidence and he TRULY loves his field. read more

I went to the Dermatology & Laser Center office on Ashley River Rd. for a skin cancer lesion. When I called for a last minute appt. and explained the problem they got me in immediately. I was very impressed with the professionalism of everyone I met - from Monique and Haven who were my first impressions of this practice and who took the time to give me explicit driving directions, to Lakia and Alexis who both have a very soothing presence, and who had to deal with my fear of needles. And I really appreciated the way Dr. Erin Walker took the time to explain the procedures and steps to treatment. A lot of doctors don't do that probably figuring that laypersons wouldn't understand anyway. I'm grateful I was lucky enough to find a great doctor with a superb staff who make a person feel welcomed and cared for. You can't go wrong with this office! read more
