April L.

It's beyond comforting to meet a physician that prioritizes patient care. After a very long, stressful journey, to find dermatological care for my daughter, we met with Dr. Chen and he is top notch. He is attentive, listened to the concerns and goals of and created a treatment plan that met her seemingly insurmountable obstacles. I would highly recommend him and am optimistic about the results.

Ask the Community - Insight Dermatology

Are you in network for Cigna Open Access Plus?

Hello, thank you for your question. Sorry, we are not in network with Cigna Open Access Plus.

If I bring a doctors referral will I pay out of pocket or would my insurance cover it. I have Medical, community health group?

Hello, unfortunately we are not in network with Community Health Group so services would be out of pocket.

Do you do steroid injections to remove keloid scars?

Do you accept UMR insurance?

We do currently accept UMR insurance.

First consultation cost out of pocket?

$150.00 because my HMO wouldn't cover it. But I only needed one visit and it was worth it.

I have several acne on my forehead and chin for a long time, sometimes it come with 2 or 3 of them, but I can't treat it permanently. In this case, can I use Accutane to permanently treat it?

Everybody's body functions differently but I have had adult acne all my life and Accutane really helped in my situation. I was on it for about 6 months at the longest, the side effects are kind of worth it.

How can back acne be treated permanently? How much would it cost?

The short answer to your question of whether back acne can be treated permanently is maybe. There are treatments that can help manage the condition. Accutane (isotretinoin), a medication that is recommended only if other treatments do not work,… 

What about ingrown hair removal?

Ingrown hairs can be a difficult problem to treat. If they are plucked out, they can regrow. Cutting them out can leave scarring. Laser hair removal may yield good long term results.… 

How much would one pay for a cyst removal procedure without insurance?

Thank you for your question. Pricing depends on cyst location, size and complexity. In order to provide you more accurate information specific to your circumstances, please email us directly at contact@insightderm.com…

Dr. Goldman, fellows and office staff have been extremely kind and gentle with my laser tattoo…read moreremoval process. I was going to wait to write this review, however I am very pleased with my first two visits and will continue to update this review as the story unfolds. This office uses state of the art lasers to remove the incapsulated tattoo. Having several tattoos I will be visiting quite a few times spaced out which gives time to heal at each stage. Highly recommend this office for your skincare and tattoo removal needs.

I contacted Cosmetic Laser Dermatology because I was interested in a specific cosmetic filler…read moretreatment and wanted basic pricing before scheduling. The experience was disappointing and, in my opinion, not transparent. I asked multiple times for pricing on a clearly defined request: two syringes of cheek filler, including common options such as Voluma, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Contour, or RHA 4. Instead of a meaningful estimate, I was told the price could range from $400 to $3,000. That range is so broad that it is almost meaningless. The real concern is that the practice then expects patients to pay a $250 consultation fee just to find out what the service may actually cost. I fully understand that a physician needs to evaluate anatomy, goals, product choice, and treatment planning before giving a final recommendation. But for common self-pay cosmetic injectables, a medical practice should be able to provide baseline pricing, including consultation fees, per-syringe pricing, and realistic treatment ranges before asking someone to pay for a consult. The staff member I spoke with was polite, and this review is not about the doctors' clinical skill. The physicians may be excellent. My concern is with the business policy and the lack of upfront pricing transparency. As someone who has worked in healthcare for many years, I found this approach troubling. Patients should not have to pay $250 just to get basic pricing information for a commonly performed cosmetic service. It creates mistrust and makes the financial side of the practice feel opaque and unfair. I chose not to move forward because I did not feel comfortable with the pricing process. I would encourage the practice to publish clear pricing ranges, train staff to answer basic cost questions, and provide patients with useful cost information before requiring a paid consultation.

Dr Jennifer Rullan is, by far, the BEST Dermatologist I have ever encountered…read more I first met her over 12 years ago when she treated my 14-year-old daughter for acne, and from that moment on, I was impressed by her extensive knowledge and compassionate approach. Dr Rullan consistently goes above and beyond to provide the Highest Level of Care. Her Expertise in treating acne is Remarkable, and she takes the time to ensure that her patients fully understand their treatment options. I have seen many dermatologist since I was 16, I can Confidently say that none have matched the Exceptional Care that I have received from Dr. Jennifer Rullan, except for Dr Peter Rullan. My daughter's, my mother and I are Truly Grateful to have Dr Rullan in our lives. The staff is Excellent as well- Courteous and Always Willing to go the Extra Mile to ensure that everything runs smoothly, from appointment setting, to keeping things up to date . Their Professionalism makes a Big Difference. We LOVE Dr. Rullan and Highly Recommend her to anyone seeking Outstanding Dermatological Care. She is a Gem in Dermatology!

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Peter Rullan himself. He was kind, informative, and I was…read morevery happy with the results of my Kenalog injections. My initial consultation was complimentary, and I paid $130 for the injections. At that appointment, I was told to come back in three weeks for a follow up. At my follow up, I told Dr. Rullan that I was really happy with my results and did not need any additional injections. We briefly discussed possibly doing a peel or laser in the future, and I told them I needed to look at my schedule and would get back to them. When I went to check out, I was surprised when I was told the visit would be $130. I explained that I had not been told there would be a charge for the three week follow up and that, had I known, I would not have scheduled the appointment because I was already happy with my results. This was especially confusing because my initial consultation had been complimentary and I had paid $130 for the injections themselves. Dr. Rullan kindly came over and waived the fee, and I apologized for the misunderstanding. Unfortunately, what happened afterward left me feeling incredibly humiliated. Mary, the office manager, told me, "You don't go out to eat without paying, do you?" She told me that the doctor's time is valuable, that a consultation or even asking a question about a procedure is a $130 fee, and that I was no longer welcome back. I completely understand that a physician's time is valuable, and I have no problem paying fees that are communicated to me beforehand. My issue was never about expecting a doctor's time for free. I simply was not aware that the follow up I had been instructed to schedule would cost another $130. I had actually been very happy with Dr. Rullan and was considering returning for a peel or laser treatment, which makes the way this interaction ended even more disappointing. I wish the fee had been clearly communicated when the follow up was scheduled and, more importantly, that the misunderstanding had been handled with kindness and professionalism rather than making me feel embarrassed and unwelcome.

After encounters with two different providers, I have cancelled all future visits for the sake of my health. ​ I was initially prescribed multiple regimens that only made my condition worse. When I was unable to see the doctor for two months, I saw a Nurse Practitioner who proceeded to prescribe medications I am explicitly allergic to. Even after I reiterated several times that I could not take them, she refused to provide alternatives. Ignoring a known allergy is dangerous and negligent. ​ At the end of my visit, I requested a standard 'After Visit' paper with written directions for my medical care. I was told 'that's not how they do things.' Refusing to provide a patient with written instructions for their health--especially while dealing with infections and medications--is completely unprofessional. ​ Furthermore, they do not validate parking. It is sad that nearby coffee shops and sushi restaurants offer validation, yet a medical facility receiving referrals refuses to cover the cost for its patients. ​I will not be returning. If you value clear communication, clinical accuracy, and basic patient safety, I strongly recommend going elsewhere.
