I don't know where to start. I could write a series of books on my years of treatment with Dr.Jennifer Reichel. I will try to do the best I can by summarizing best I know how. Dr.Reichel is an angel. She has taken on a rare condition I have. She cares about me and my condition with her heart and goes beyond to make sure that I am comfortable. Because of my condition insurance doesn't like to pay for the procedures. However this does not stop the billing person to follow up directly over and over again after each time I have this procedure. It is a nightmare but yet Dr.Reichel has a staff that doesn't care. They are more than happy to keep following up with my insurance to make sure it is covered for MY SAKE. They get paid regardless. They EASILY could just say insurance won't pay for it and that I have to deal with it. Then just send me the bill in full. No they don't do that! They will deal with MY insurance and they make sure that it goes through. So my situation is rare. A rare condition that is a nightmare for the billing department. Yet they do all the legwork for me. They absolutely do not need to do this and they do. I am so grateful for the staff at Pacific Dermatology and the angel herself Jennifer Reichel. My family and I talk about this place on a weekly if not daily basis. They are part of my family. If it weren't for Dr.Reichel I wouldn't have any quality of life. My family and friends and I thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. I became ill when I was misdiagnosed during my pregnancy. Long story short, I was told gaining weight was part of being pregnant. My issues during this time were disregarded. Because of this...I was left permanently disabled. This could have all been avoided had the dr. did the research. Because I was thin and worked at a place where looks were very important, she made me believe they were ghost symptoms and normal. Also told me I had body image issues and I was going to be gaining weight because I was pregnant. I was the breadwinner in the family. I lost everything. I am now unable to ever work again and in fact typing this review, I have lost circulation in my hands. However this is important to me. After this horrific experience I was close to death. I am now unable to live a normal life. My body attacks itself. I wanted to write a book called "Dear Doctor." After leaving my career and telling my clients I couldn't see them anymore...If I ever felt good enough to write the book about my horrific experience,I would tell them. Also in the dedication page I was going to write that I am personally giving the book to the doctor who did this to me so she knew she was the doctor I had written the book about. I wasn't going to use her name. Unfortunately, it's been a long journey and now 16 years have gone by. I am not healthy enough to write a book. Chances of me being able is slim to none. The reason I say all of this is because of Jennifer Reichel. I don't have that anger anymore because of her. What she has done for me is beyond words. Now if I ever had the chance to write a book it still would be called "Dear Doctor." However it would be the opposite. It would be about Dr.Reichel and how she has given me quality of life. Without her treatments I wouldn't be able to leave my house or be able to see my son grow up to be the amazing man he is. The dedication would be of course with her name on it as I want the world to know of her. I wish I was able to write this book so she can see how she affects me daily. Had I not found her clinic I don't know where I would be. Wish I could say more but I'm not sure if anyone really reads these reviews. If they do, just know Pacific Dermatology has given many people a better quality of life. I see it and the people leaving the clinic. You can see her practice in only a positive light and I couldn't ask for anything more. I owe them so much. I couldn't dream of a better place.On behalf of my family and friends....Much love and thank you all!!!!!!!! read more

I met Dr. Laurie Jacobson in June of 2008 under unusual circumstances. In May I had been diagnosed with skin cancer. Prior to our meeting I had been referred to her and two other surgeons whom I interviewed. All came highly recommended with impressive backgrounds. One of the benefits of living in Seattle is that we are surrounded with amazing health care professionals. During the next 11 months I had approximately 20 surgeries, and countless biopsy's. Shortly after our first meeting Laurie said "I have a feeling that we are going to have an opportunity to get to know each other well". Mid- way through this ordeal I reminded her of her statement. She replied isn't it a blessing that we enjoy each other. Get to know her I did, and so grateful to have her in my life. Meeting Laurie was the very best thing that happened to me in 2008. It goes without saying that I have all the confidence in the world in her abilities. In addition to her medical and surgical skills she has a multitude of special qualities: sense of humor, kind, caring and compassionate. She is very professional yet amazingly approachable. Let me give you some tangible examples. In today's world of medicine where do you find a physician that follows up with you on the telephone the day after a procedure to see how you are doing? After each biopsy she called me personally with the biopsy reports each time we found a problem, which in my case was often. She did not delegate this telephone call to an assistant which I find amazing. That she makes this effort and takes the time for this kind of care is more that unique it is unheard of today in the medical world. I cannot not count the emails and texts she sent in addition to the telephone call, too may to count. During this period we joked about have some "youthing procedures" scheduled so that we could have some fun rather than a surgery. As a result I have had botox and filler injections to diminish lines and wrinkles and filling out my smiles lines which were like craters before Laurie took charge. Who knew that you could have such a skilled surgeon as well as a meticulous and exacting dermatologist! I feel that she is successful in the cosmetic area because of her skill, experience, patience and incredible eye. She is very artful in her approach and always understates her suggestions and procedures. I always look better after one these sessions not radically or shockingly different. I have seen a lot of time in Southern California and see mostly the opposite. Many of the women I see in California look strangely over done. Laurie's touch is the extreme opposite. By now you should recognize what a huge fan I am of Laurie the physician, surgeon, dermatologist and person. In additional to her practice she is a loving, and involved parent and wife. Somehow she manages to balance all of this with amazing grace and results. You would be very fortunate to have her as part of your personal medical team. -Bonnie read more

I have gone to Dr. Reichel for both a melanoma excision on my back and for sclerotherapy for my spider veins on my legs. I can not say enough good things about this office and this doctor. Dr. Reichel and her nurses and assistants completely put you at ease. It's like going out for coffee with your friends, except there's no coffee and you are sporting a hospital gown instead of jeans and cute boots. For the melanoma, I am happy to say that due to Dr. Reichel's keen eye and stitching artistry, I not only dodged a bullet, but have a large barely-there scar. You can barely see it. I wanted to have sclerotherapy done on my legs because I work out and have great shaped legs - but - yuck, who wants to show them when they are covered with lots of tiny red veins. I just completed my 3rd - and most likely - final treatment (which is how many I needed to get rid of the majority of my veins....it varies from person to person). The procedure is not painful and it took about an hour each time. A small needle with solution is injected into your tiny veins. You feel a bit of a sting, but that's about it. When all is said and done, they apply compression bandages, which actually feel pretty good, and then you put on your attractive compression tights. This is the worst part of the whole thing...having to wear the tights for up to 2 weeks. I am very pleased with the results. There was a noticeable difference after just 2 treatments, although you do need to give it some time for the blood to filter out into your system. I had visited another vein clinic and honestly, the place creeped me out. I am so grateful for Dr. Reichel and her crew because I feel I am getting the best care and I actually enjoy my time spent there......needles and all. read more

I really enjoy dr Rechiel as a person, so hate the leave a negative review. But, I just got my botox from her once again and something is wrong- I have never ever had botox hurt so badly in my forehead- I think she nicked a vein in one spot. And previously she injected botox into my lip when it was not numbed properly, which she was aware of- like the nurse who does this all day long failed to put the numbing cream in the right spot and instead put it too far above my lip. The dr didn't want to take the time to renumb it. Having a needle jabbed into your un numbed lip multiple times is HIGHLY painful and i have a very high pain tolerance. Will never forget how that felt. She is just ultimately a bit on the careless side overall, and like I said I have tried so hard to make it work here because she is a very sweet and kind person, and has always treated me with respect. But I just have to go elsewhere after having this latest issue. Also she was only supposed to use three units of botox on my forehead and two on my lip- I also did my elevens but somehow overall I got charged for over ten units, so was confused by that. Also previously had seen Andrea English but she became really dismissive and offended when i said i wanted some bumps near my nose removed and she had a similar bump on her nose- kept saying it wasn't a big deal and i was being too scrutinizing. then later dr reichel removed them for me... read more

Frontier is an outstanding practice for all things dermatology. The process from start to finish was seamless and efficient. I signed up for an account online, quickly found a Dermatologist, and easily scheduled an appointment. When I called to confirm any necessary documentation or instructions, the receptionist was incredibly helpful and informed me that an earlier appointment with the same doctor, Dr. Kranseler, had just become available. I was able to reschedule for a sooner date, which I greatly appreciated. During my appointment, Dr. Kranseler took the time to thoroughly understand my previous history with skin conditions. She provided thoughtful recommendations for treatment, along with clear and actionable solutions. Within just 30 minutes, I had a comprehensive plan, including a prescription, which I was able to pick up that same evening at a nearby pharmacy. I'm incredibly grateful for the excellent care and professionalism shown by both Dr. Kranseler and the staff at Frontier. From the ease of scheduling to the quality of care, my experience exceeded expectations. I highly recommend Frontier to anyone in need of dermatological services. Was the appointment expensive? Yes - that's the only downside I had. Through my insurance, I paid $240 for a 15 minute clinic visit. read more

My first experience with Botox and filler (Belotero) was at Pacific Dermatology and Cosmetic Center in the gentle hands of Dr. Jennifer Reichel. I was nervous at first, not knowing how I would be able to take someone sticking needles into my face. Dr. Reichel understood my fears right away, answering any questions I had with her calming voice and masterfully injected-and I hardly felt anything at all; I could tell she was really concerned with my well being and I truly felt safe in her hands. Dr. Reichel made sure I was informed of possible bruising, so I was prepared for that. What I wasn't prepared for was the transformation. She had erased twenty years from my eyes and forehead. It didn't look frozen or unnatural either. It was so Very natural looking and I Love looking well rested when I'm not! Dr. Reichel is very well informed, extremely knowledgeable and also a brilliant Mohs surgeon. While I've not yet had the need for this service, I've met surgeons in the Mohs community who speak very highly of her! So I know I'd be in good hands if the need arises. read more

Can't wait to see my liposuction and ultherapy results! I recently was treated by Dr. Jennifer Reichel for Neck Liposuction and with Cheryl Wells for Ultherapy. I originally set up my consultation for coolsculpting but after seeing before and after pictures, discussing the process, cost and downtime, I decided that doing liposuction for my double chin would be the best treatment for me. I'm in my 40's and wanted my jawline back and to get rid of my double chin. Dr. Reichel explained that Liposcution allows her to customize and define with one treatment and the results are immediate. I was awake the whole time and had zero pain, which is what I was most nervous about! It was also a very quick procedure. Her staff made me feel so comfortable. After my procedure I met with Cheryl immediately after to do my lower face and neck Ultherapy. Not only will I not have a double chin but I will have improvement on my jowling that was starting to happen. I can't wait to see my results! I would highly recommend Dr. Reichel for this treatment. read more

I love this Dermatology Clinic. The people there bend over to make a visit pleasant plus medically successful. No one can ask for more. And the value for your dollar is beyond anything else I have encountered ... and I grew up in Seattle. I have been in to them 4 times in the last 4 years and let me tell you, Dr Reichel and Dr Thompson had great big smiles, knew their stuff, and did the most thorough exams I have ever had in a medical office. Dr Thompson even took photo's and then showed them to me and carefully explained ... without using medical terminology ... what I had on my back (moles ... thank goodness NO melanoma, which my family tends to grow). Five star medical office in Northgate in my humble opinion. No sensible human looking for quick-to-get -seen, efficient, up-to-the-moment health care for their skin can complain about Pacific Dermatology. (And the location + parking is superb !) A.

Dr. Reichel and the staff at Pacific Dermatology & Cosmetic Center far exceeded my expectations. I went in for laser treatment of a red birthmark from broken capillaries plus treatment of an old surgery scar. The front desk staff greeted me kindly and I was almost immediately taken back to a room by a sweet medical assistant. Dr. Reichel had wonderful bedside manner and answered all my questions carefully and thoughtfully. She was kind and upfront saying it would take multiple sessions of v-beam laser for the red birthmark and Fraxel laser for the surgery scar. Thus far I've had 2 laser sessions approx eight week apart from each other and will need one or two more sessions. Numbing cream was always applied prior to the laser so the procedure didn't hurt a bit. After only two sessions the scars have drastically improved and are barely visable! I highly recommend Dr. Reichel and her staff at Pacific Dermatology in Seattle. read more

I went to see Dr Reichel for a removal of a skin cancer on my face. I was referred to her by my dermatologist. I was worried because it was on my face. The first step was that her nurse called me and went over the procedure, called Mohs surgery. She did such a good job of explaining it to me and making me feel comfortable. They even sent me a personalized pamphlet explaining the procedure. When I met Dr Reichel, she was so professional and personable. She answered all of my questions and really put me at ease. I liked the personal style. The surgery itself wasn't very fun, but Dr Reichel did such a good job. I spent the entire morning in the office. When it came time to put in the stitches, they took me back to a very nice surgery room. Dr Reichel talked me through the procedure and she made all of my nervousness just go away. She and her staff were fabulous. The scar looks great. I would recommend her to anyone. read more

I'd love to tell you about my Cool Sculpting experience at Pacific Dermatology in Seattle. I started out thinking I'd just do a few spots that were truly bothering me and I really didn't want to spend a lot of time and money. With the artistry of my esthetician, Sue, I completed my experience with WHOLE NEW BEAUTIFUL BODY and look, without spending hours and hours in appointments and without breaking my budget. Sue looked at my body as an artist would--picking the areas of my body that would benefit most from the least amount of time and work. I have never felt embarrassed by my curvy body, but I am absolutely thrilled with the results and enhancements achieved by my experience at Pacific Dermatology in Seattle. Are you ready for a whole new you? Go for it! And ask for Sue! I'm positive you'll be as delighted as I am!! read more

I just returned from my visit with Dr. Reichel for Juvederm & Botox under my eyes to get rid of my awful bags. I'm writing this to let everyone know what a wonderful experience I had! I was a little nervous going into this appointment, courtesy of horror stories I've read online from patients who had seen other doctors. Dr. Reichel made my procedure much easier than expected and quite pleasant. I can't remember a time when my eyes looked this refreshed! Being only 24, it's hard to hear people tell me all the time that I look like I'm in my 30's because of the bags under my eyes; it's very disheartening. Now I feel like I've gained back that bit of self confidence I once lost many years ago. Thank you so much Dr. Reichel, you have a patient for life! read more

For 2 1/2 years since I had my little one (2015) I have been super self-conscience of my stomach, to me I still looked 3 to 4 months pregnant, I wouldn't wear anything tight until I found Dr. Reichel. I went to see her about getting liposuction done and she was great explained in detail everything to me, so I decided to do the procedure and as of today I'm so thankful for it. The office was so caring and friendly. Dr. Reichel was great during the procedure so patience with me. I felt well taken care of. Today I wear swimsuits and haven't wore one since I got pregnant, I wear tight fitting clothing. She brought my self-esteem to the highest level ever. If you are looking for a doc go see Dr. Reichel. I would do it again with her. read more

I am in debt to this clinic. I have had acne since I was 13. In April of 2010, I decided to try a dermatologist again. A co-worker recommended me to this clinic and I am so glad she did. I have been seeing a PA-C named Kelly who is fantastic! She listens to everything I say and she is so friendly. It's nice to see a provider who is so down to earth. I am on a second successful round of Accutane. My skin is clear and not breaking out. After my course I won't ever have to worry about acne the same way I ever did. I am really appreciating my new skin and am so happy with the results. I recommend this provider and have nothing but positive things to say. Thank you Pacific Dermatology for curing my acne! read more

I had an appt with Laurie Jacobson at Pacific Derm today. But, after waiting for an hour, and being told it would be another 20 minutes, I watched the sneaky way they brought someone in ahead of me. Actually, I was on my way to the toilet and walked right into the assistant telling the woman to hurry before the other woman knows that we're sneaking you in. I instead went to the front desk and asked them why they did that and had been so rude. All that time and there had never been an apology. Of course first came the condescending Oh doctors sometimes run late, then the denial about sneaking someone ahead of me. I don't really care if Drs Leaf and Jacobson are "great". They run their office deplorably. read more

I have had cosmetic treatments and eye surgery at Pacific Dermatology over the last 8 years. I love , love , love Dr Reichel and all of the staff. Dr Reichel discusses treatment issues in a straightforward manner and is always clear about possible adverse outcomes. She is kind, funny and the staff are always accommodating my needs for appointments and assistance. I plan to continue to have treatment at this clinic on an as needed basis. I am a retired medical professional and know how much effort goes into keeping such and office running smoothly and meeting patient's expectations and needs ( not always the same thing). Thanks for the wonderful service. Maureen Johnson read more

I just did a review for Dr Reichel and wanted to put one here too. I had two moles taken off today by her. Her office is really nice, and her staff are super. She had two assistants the whole time and both seemed experienced and focused on me. Dr Reichel made me feel very comfortable and was professional, but friendly. The surgery was in a real surgical suite, and she explained everything including that the moles would go to a pathologist for examination. She wants me to come back so she can see the scars in 2 months. I really liked her. And, the best is that she also did some botox for me while we were setting up for the surgery. read more

I've been visiting Pacific Dermatology for several years now, for everything from yearly checkups to treatment of severe acne, and they do a wonderful and thorough job. I see Stacey Lynema there, and am very happy with her work. She is personable, dedicated to finding the right treatment for me as an individual and has helped my skin care out greatly. She helped me get rid of serious acne that no other doctor was able to help me with over the last 10 years, as well as helping me deal with lots of other little skin issues. Overall, I couldn't be happier with her treatment and expertise. Definitely a great place to go. read more
