I have been coming to IU Health's Dr. Christiane Machado in Carmel well over a year now since…read moremoving back from Phoenix, AZ. Although I was given subpar treatment (it's extremely hard to find a dermatologist that doesn't have a six month wait. I'm not sure if this is just the Indianapolis area or not), I persisted because I knew acne treatment was a long process that took time. When I arrived today at 3:25 p.m. for a 3:20 p.m. appointment an elderly couple was in front of me and the receptionist was trying to get them taken care of as fast as possible. When I finally had my turn with another receptionist next to her, it was probably 3:30p. Check-in went smoothly. I sat down to wait, and another elderly white woman walks in. At which point, she is also checked in smoothly. She was early for a 4:15 p.m. appointment with Dr. Machado. Less than two minutes later, she is being escorted back. I hear one of the receptionists say to another receptionist that I had been waiting and my appointment had been at 3:20 p.m. Then (of course) whispering ensued, and about 5 minutes later I was called back. The nurse who took me back was frank when I asked "why did the other woman go before me?" I expected her to say something along the lines of "it was urgent," or something of the sort -- something completely understandable. But, no. She said "you were late." I said, "So, someone who had an appointment about 50 minutes after mine was able to be seen because of something out of my control, when there is a ten minute leeway, and I was only five minutes late?" In her frankness, the nurse says "yup." I think they could sense how upset I was, so Dr. Machado magically appeared about five minutes later -- with a different nurse. In the meantime, Dr. Machado ensues in the most hurried and disrespectful appointments I have yet to have with her (and each of the four I have had with her are about the same). I correct her on the pronunciation of my name every time, I have to tell her I'm in a same-sex relationship, so I don't need contraceptive, every time, I have to tell her what face wash I am using every time (what are they scribbling if not these small facts?), and, the worst of all I have to tell her what problem areas I do and do not have EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. This is the last time I will be coming here. Because although it's a long wait for other dermatologists in the area, clearly they are worth every bit of dignity they are probably giving to their patients. Oh, and shout to the receptionist who noticed I was being treated unfairly and tried to speak up. - SHAKKIRA Harris

Located on Main Street in Carmel, this multi-story spa offers all types of skincare services and sells quality skincare lines in the lobby. I'd been in to pick up a few products before, but finally booked a facial last week. I called ahead to book my appointment. I wanted them to assess what my skin needed, so I gave them my budget and told them to do whatever they thought was best in that price range. My esthetician, Rose, was amazing and did a great job clearly explaining what she was doing. She answered all of my questions in a helpful way and I learned that she has 14+ years of experience. She said that this is her favorite place she's worked because everyone here is passionate about skin and they get all of the new gadgets. She hydrated my skin, did a mini chemical peel (one with no downtime), microbladed my face (gets rid of all dead skin/hair/helps you be glowy), and did laser genesis to stimulate collagen and kill bacteria (potential acne). My face was super glowy after and my skin felt tight the following day. The products that she used were top of the line (IS Clinical, Babor, etc), so the price of the facial truly is worth the quality of product that they're giving you. I appreciated the custom facial and was surprised that the glow was instant. Highly recommend!

I have long wished to have the lower stomach tattoo removed and finally got the courage up to visit Laser and Light Surgery Center and do just that! I love that their website had a lot of information about the removal process. I also enjoyed that the price was listed as well as what to expect during and after the procedure. On the day of, I entered the office and was nervous. The receptionist that greeted me was really nice. It was only a short wait until I saw the gentleman that performs the procedure. He confirmed the price that their website states, a tattoo like mine would cost $100 per treatment and may take 7 or 8 treatments. He was very patient with me as I was hesitant to let the laser touch me but wanted the procedure. He used 2 lasers on me, one for colored ink and one for black ink. I had heard that the procedure was way more painful than getting a tattoo however I found it to be less so. Three weeks after my first treatment and my tattoo is already much lighter than it was. I am quite happy with my experience!

This was an awesome choice. Dr. Gerstein's team set up an appointment within a week and were super easy to call and schedule with. The actual office is called Meridian Dermatology. Dr. Gerstein himself was super down to earth, relatable and smart. I had a long list of questions and he was able to answer all of them in simple, understandable ways. I'd done a lot of research on skincare as well, and he was able to debunk and explain every topic I brought up. He didn't seem to be in a rush and was super open and honest. He had a student helping him and she was super sweet and also very smart too. He let her step in and explain a few things and it was clear that she knew her info. They gave me incredible advice and wanted a follow up appointment in a month. In the past, I've felt like some doctors just prescribe pills every time you have a question or problem. Dr. Gerstein did prescribe medication, but we went back and forth about possible solutions and which path is best, etc. I feel really good about the plan we decided on and completely trust him. Thankful!!!
