I generally do not write reviews unless there's something special or concern about…read more Recently I visited this clinic (PAZ DERMATOLOGY) to see CLARISSA ALVARADO APRN, NRP at 128 N Akers St Visalia CA 93291. I really want to salute everyone working there, especially the front desk folks like Louis, Vanessa, and a couple of others, these are so very professionals, polite and ready to help anyone who walks inside their clinic, with a big smiling face. (I could see them happy and smiling even though they are all geared up with masks.) what a nice experience. Also, I would like to write a couple of lines for CLARISSA ALVARADO, who leaves no stone unturn to treat her patients, she is a very knowledgeable and a very happy person, hilarious, kind and very Professional. I loved every minute spent at this clinic. I feel people living in Visalia, who have any Dermatological conditions to be treated should and MUST visit CLARISSA ALVARADO and this clinic is a real Blessings to VISALIA. To my bad luck I got my car locked out with my cell phone and keys inside to which Vanessa went an extra mile to help me to use their phone and was very patience and calm, till I had received help from AAA. Once again thanks to all those whom I had interacted with during my brief visit and helped me. A real memorable experience.

Bad business practices they charged me a few hundred dollars to tell me come back in 2 weeks then…read morewe can help you? For more money! Bull Pu$5y What a crock these doctors are a joke! They were giving me a tremfya shot every 2 months with hundreds of dollars in hidden fees never explaining the reason for the charges. The staff is just lazy told me to contact my insurance provider and they will explain. I'm glad this is over I wanted to hurt myself everyday I had a death wish I was suicidal and violent i'm glad I didn't hurt anybody or myself, I did not like the shot but knowing this they kept pumping this poison into my body. These doctors care more about their looks than their patients most of their patients are elderly and senile easily taken advantage of clientele.people please they will charge you and take advantage of you to pay for their new building. You're paying for their brand and not quality care. I'll be going somewhere else for now on.

Great place for the most part. I come here for regular acne treatment, chemical peels…read more(complimentary for clients), and mole biopsies. They helped me get rid of my (mostly mild) acne within just a few months. Also, the staff is pretty nice and they are good at answering questions. All of the exam rooms have digital screens that are interactive so you can look up different procedures and skin treatments while you wait for the doctor, which is very interesting. (The images I currently see on this yelp page seem kind of old and don't show them, so I'll have to do a check in the next time I have an appointment.) Usually, the longest part of the appointment is waiting to go into see the doctor, but I typically don't stay for longer than 5 to 20 minutes in the exam room. Despite this, because they're so busy (they are usually booked solid about a month ahead) The wait before you see the doctor can range from 20 to 45 minutes. Overall, I sincerely recommend this place for your dermatology needs.

Dr never explained nothing, just cut and cut. No care instructions given for surgery.. No bedside…read moremanner whatsoever.. I would never go back there or trust any doctors there performing any surgeries.. place reminded me of primitive back door institute...got there at 1pm appointment was 1:30 left at 4:45 waiting room packed with nowhere to sit, overbooked for supposedly two doctors.

I am now 10 days post-op a breast reduction/lift and felt it was important to leave a review…read moredetailing my experience. I decided to disclose my specific procedure because I could find no reviews by other patients who had the same surgery; which would have been helpful to me when doing my own research. Dr. Stevens was recommended by a friend who had multiple procedures under his care and was consistently happy with her results. Just a little background on me - I am a mother of two, who spent a solid two years of my life breastfeeding. Fortunately, I also have medical background that was helpful during this process. Surgery is a big decision and I consider myself to be a person with exceptionally high standards, which is why I researched everything in depth beforehand. After educating myself as best I could about the procedure and reading reviews online, I took the plunge and made an appointment with Kendel, the physician liaison. Kendel was friendly and knowledgeable, answered all of my questions and provided realistic expectations. I met with Dr. Stevens thereafter and was pleasantly surprised by his honesty and down-to-earth nature. He was very professional which I feel is important when dealing with a topic so sensitive and personal. After I met with him, I felt confident about the surgery and had a good idea of what to expect. The day of my surgery I was nervous, but after meeting with Dr. Stevens and the anesthetist felt more at ease. Dr. Stevens had a calm, "business as usual" demeanor that made me even more comfortable. Before I knew it, I was waking up in recovery and ready to go home! The pain was minimal, (nothing compared to a c-section for those of you who have had one). I was given a number to call if I needed anything at any time of day or night. Dr. Stevens called me himself the night of my surgery to make sure I was okay, which I thought was pretty awesome and accurately depicts the sort of person he really is - the caring, compassionate sort. On the third day after my surgery my bandages were removed to reveal perfect, perky breasts. I nearly cried because I felt like I was seeing what I should have been born with. My result was exactly what I had asked for and even exceeded my own expectations. I already knew to expect scarring, (there is no way around that with this type of procedure) but his suturing is wonderful and I expect the scars to fade significantly with time. I am physically more comfortable and overall a happier person! My confidence has been restored! THANK YOU Dr. Stevens from the bottom of my heart. You have changed my life for the better and I would not hesitate to return to you should I ever decide to have another procedure. I would recommend you to anyone considering a surgery.

I called the office today, September 8, 2026, to inquire about an appointment and obtain…read moreinformation regarding a procedure. When the receptionist asked what procedure I was interested in, I explained the situation and mentioned that my previous surgeon had retired. The receptionist immediately interrupted me and stated that my surgeon was not retired. I attempted several times to clarify who I was referring to and provide additional information, but I was repeatedly interrupted and was not given an opportunity to finish explaining my situation. The only response I was ultimately able to hear was, "We are not taking any new patients." I understand that a medical office may not be accepting new patients; however, I believe the way this information is communicated is equally important. I found the interaction unnecessarily rude and dismissive, particularly when I was simply trying to ask a question and provide clarification. I ultimately said, "Well, thanks for not letting me speak," because I felt I was not being given an opportunity to communicate. As a potential new patient, this interaction was concerning. It left me wondering how patients are treated when they have questions, concerns, or complications that require additional communication and support. First impressions matter, especially in healthcare, and I hope the office considers providing staff with training on professional and respectful communication with prospective and current patients.

Lux has moved to a new fancy location off Lovers Lane! It's a really nice location! Beautiful…read moresuites. I recently went in to get a couple lesions on my scalp biopsied just to make sure they were benign. Since they were we were, I was able to freeze them off with the liquid nitrogen. Ez pz. The whole procedure was quick and easy. It only hurt a little! Luckily I was able to opt for the lidocaine injection so the freezing was tolerable! I love going to Lux because you're in and out but you never feel rushed. Dr. Shawn VanGronigen is amazing!! Great bedside manner! He's proactive and kind.

Have had nothing but problems since coming here in January or 2023. Originally came for eczema…read moretreatment and after my first visit the doctor "forgot" to send my prescription in and I was completely forgotten for 4 months until my eczema flared up so severely I had to contact them again and ask them to fill it! I went in again in June of 23 and was seen by a PA, Shawn, who was very nice and helped me get started with Dupixent's QuickStart program, as well as an emergency sample to help calm my skin. However, 3 months later I was dropped for some unknown when I moved from Visalia to Exeter even though there had been no change in my insurance. In addition to this I was also unable to fill my normal acne prescriptions as well. I was told the person originally running it moved so that patient volumes had increased and Shawn couldn't see me, no big deal. When asked if they could simply refill my prescriptions over the phone I was told I had to come in (even though I was already approved for the Dupixent in Nov) so instead I booked another appt with Dr. Lutzker who happened to be the next available. I left work early and when I showed up for my appointment I was informed he had left for the day and that the staff forgot to call me and inform me-thanks! Not only did I have to take off work, drive from Exeter to Visalia, but now I had to do it a second time because they forgot to call me?! Fast forward to my appt with Dr. Lutzker. He was incredibly rude and did not once let me speak or inform him of my problems or concerns. It was so bad that even his assistant apologized when he left the room. Not only did he completely disregard my request to fill my prescriptions, but he sent me home with 7 new ones! Why? Why is that necessary when 1) I already informed him I had tried them and they didn't work and 2) I JUST wanted a refill!!! I was told to come back in two weeks and if it didn't work I could have an emergency kenalog shot even though "it is incredibly bad for women." Then why prescribe it to a woman?! Having already received one from a previous doctor at another practice, I had no interest and instead asked for a sample of the dupixent, since I had received one at Luxe prior to getting approved for the medication from my insurance. I was told no. Fast forward to my next appointment with Dr. Lutzker again, and I was informed that I was approved of my prescription back in November, "and why didn't I say so?" I DID! He had just interrupted me so many times I couldn't actually say it! But at least I could finally get some relief and get my shot I knew that worked-or so I thought. So it was sent in to Walgreens for pick up. I drive there to pick up and was informed it was not sent. I called the office and they informed me that they would send it right over so again, I drive across town to Walgreens the next day because it's the only pharmacy that carries it but again, nothing. After going back and forth with them, I was finally put into contact with Devan, their patient coordinator. At this point I feel as though she knows exactly who I am because I have called with so many problems regarding my prescription during the first time when I was trying to get approved. I last spoke to her two months ago and she assured me she would take care of everything and help me get the treatment I need. Since then I have not heard a word. At this point I give up and am going to seek care somewhere else. I work for the state and have the best PPO plan they offer, my insurance is not the problem, this office is. Hopefully they can get their act together soon, a patient shouldn't have to beg for treatment! Posting this review so others can save their time and money and find providers who actually care about their patients.

However . . he prescribed me a weightloss drug and didn't prescribe the needles to go with it and this has been three days now calling the pharmacy and calling the staff at LWC to see if the needles can be prescribed. No luck so far. Very uncaring. I won't go back. Before I visited LWC I was warned not to go there because the office staff were unfriendly. I gave it a shot. Now after 2 more phone calls today I told the office staff I was going to find a new Dr. She said ok. Bye. This clinic does not care about its patients. They don't care if you're pleased or whether or not you can actually use the medication you be been prescribed. I'm sure they are quick to bill your insurance company though. I was told today if I want the needles for my medication I will have to make another appt with a different Dr. So I'm responsible to pay for another visit when the issue was not my fault. Apparently my prescribing Dr won't be back in the office for 4 more days. Very unprofessional.
