Considering many other derms in the area, I have returned to my initial reviews of her. And I will say, these reviews were unfair to her. I must admit that Dr. McKay is probably the "least" damaging or incorrect in her diagnoses of most other derms. As a 35-year Medical Director who works directly and indirectly with 65+ surgeons (plastics, reconstructive surgery, cosmetics) in my company, many whom I've hired, I am forced to say that Dr. McKay is extremely intelligent, and has a wonderful personality. Her problem, like most of us, is that she is forced to "thin" the quality of her offerings simply because she, like most GOOD medical people, haven't yet figured out how to be in two places at one time. What I'm saying is that the younger, (not older) Dr. McKay, whom I liked very much, used to spend time with her patients...but now she simply doesn't have that time anymore. It's not that she doesn't want to do these "basic" things, it's that she can't afford the time to work on less-revenue-generating procedures and examinations, because she must parse her time to the things that keep her salary staff and office staff paid. And to survive. Doing that everyday, I completely understand her problems. It's a problem that all medical directors face, and the problem isn't getting any better. Maybe "knowledge databases" administered by AI tools can facilitate this part of medicine better in the future...however, you will still lose...because you can't get Dr. McKay's pleasant, enjoyable, intellectual interaction with a machine. Overall, she is a very, very, good bet.... read more

The team at McKay Dermatology & MedSpa TRULY care about their patients!! I always feel so welcome and love that they take their time and listen to my concerns. My whole family goes here... skin cancer runs in our family and so many have had successful Mohs surgery with Dr. McKay and very thorough skin checks and biopsies with Michelle and Andrea. We know we're in the best hands at McKay Derm! I also love their Medspa events... they are BEAUTIFULLY done and it's great to get to know the staff, products and treatments. I love getting dermatology-approved skincare products and makeup from them, which often go on special at their events. I highly recommend this practice to everyone in the Treasure Coast area! read more

I come to McKay Dermatology for an annual skin check. As a lifelong Floridian, it's so important to get checked for any irregularities and McKay has made that process relatively easy for me. The office is easy to find and has a very easy parking lot. The office is clean and check in is simple. I've never had an issue calling to make appointments or for follow up. The waiting room does feel like a bunch of mostly cosmetic offerings and I don't really love that. Are they pushing to make money off services you may or may not need or are they focused on your health truly? The staff have all been kind and I've felt comfortable in the vulnerable position of having your entire body looked at. They take photos for your file of any spots or moles to keep an eye on and I like this. I have been accidentally double billed for a service, but calling to resolve was quick as I had already paid. I will probably continue coming here because it's easy, they have my history, and I won't get caught up in any of their superfluous money making services, but its a middle of the road opinion of them for me. read more

I am was new patient 1st time visit to McKay Dermatology & Med Spa of Stuart Florida last 2/15/2024 for a skin rash that had been persistent for ~ 6 months. Michelle Budnick after a 2 minute review of the rash suggested a prescription cream for my rash and after 2 weeks of continuous improvement became all clear. Great Job Michelle. Many thanks, Mike Teets read more

Late October I had my first appointment with this practice for an annual exam by the PA who said everything was fine. In mid-December I noticed two bumps on my scalp. Something told me to go see my prior dermatologist in Deerfield Beach and he identified them as Basel cell carcinoma which required Mohs surgery. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this practice and will not return. read more

Let me start by saying I have never met a more caring and loving doctor as Dr. McKay. Her assistant found that I had Squamous Cell Carcinoma on my ear. Needless to say I was terrified! Today I went to have it removed. Dr. McKay came in and explained from beginning to end what she was going to do. I've never had any doctor explain step by step the process. When her assistant was preping me for surgery Dr. McKay held my hand and told me I was in good hands and I didn't need to worry. I literally felt nothing! From the numbing needles to the surgery I felt nothing. When she was finished she actually called the plastic surgeon to ask him to please squeeze me in today so I can get this over with. To say she is amazing is not a big enough word! I highly recommend her and her staff for any dermatological things you made need. Especially Mohs surgery! I also want to give a shout out to her assistant Bonnie and Karen who were also amazing! Thank you!!! read more

McKay Dermatology & MedSpa - Medical Spas Near Me - Stuart, Florida

REVIEW MICHELLE I had to change insurance this year and had to find a new dermatologist which brought me to McKay dermatology. Things started off great. When I called to make the appointment, the receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. She scheduled me with the NP Michelle. I have been getting skin checks for the past 19 years I've lived here in Florida, so I know exactly what to expect. Unfortunately, this is the most incompetent skin check I've ever had. I might as well have not even had the appointment and saved my time and co pay . Michelle was very unfriendly, arrogant, incompetent, and just unpleasant. She walked in the room with an attitude. She barely even looked at me. Never bothered to look at my head, my fingers, my toes. She never even asked me about my current medication's that every other dermatologist addressed. And I'm talking about the prescriptions and diagnosis from my past dermatologist. The woman barely even acknowledged me being there. Furthermore, she spoke down to me, as if I was beneath her. Terrible exam, (Lack of), my questions were not answered, overall a horrible visit. Do not recommend and will not return. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. McKay for over 10 years. She is an excellent physician and a caring provider. In fact, when I lived in Los Angeles for 10 years, I would return to see her for my skin care rather than see a provider in LA. Not only is she incredibly skilled at what she does, she is compassionate and caring which is truly hard to find in medical care these days. Over the last several years the business has grown and the team she has assembled to help her deliver excellent skin care is equally as skilled, caring and compassionate. I am so grateful to have her as my doctor. read more

McKay Dermatology is fantastic in every way, the most important being that you are given time for all questions and concerns. I have seen Michelle and Andrea and they both do very thorough skin checks and they are so nice. Dr. McKay is the ultimate professional and her knowledge of dermatology is . She has done 3 MOHS surgeries on me and the scars are barely noticeable. The entire staff is professional and caring. You will love this office! read more

I took my mom (83 years young) and myself for a body checkup which was our second time. The first visit they found a basal cell on my mom's cheek which they removed and 8 months later you can hardly tell. The scar is so faint and well done. This visit was great clean for both. Mom has a lot of what looks like moles I ask what they were and Michele explained them to me and also informed me that they are heredity SK's. As she was examining me she told me I had a few so I ask her freeze them off for me. The whole office is very kind respectful answering and explaining every question asked. The PA Michelle is very sweet and gentle and thorough with her exams. I would highly recommend this office to anyone needing a dermatologist. Next I am going to check out the spa. read more

Horrible medical care. My mother had a leg wound that wouldn't heal. When we went to McKay Dermatology for a culture suggested by her GP she had bad reaction to the drug. Our phone calls were not returned, nor would anyone come out to speak to us when I went to the office. The only positive is their is a pleasant receptionist. Avoid this place for anything medical. read more

Jaime Harvey at McKay Dermatology & MedSpa is the best at fillers! I've had Botox and Dysport before and seen a handful of people, but by far, Jaime has the magic touch. She clearly knows what she's doing. In the past, I've had people inject too low on my brow, or too close to a muscle, and basically my face was frozen in an odd way for months. Ugh. Not fun. Do your homework if you're going to have something like this done. I also recently had Jaime inject Juvederm, and again, she did an amazing job! Thank goodness, because these results last for two years. Bottom line, do your homework and pick the right person to place theses types of important injections. I promise, you'll be thankful you did. (Side note: I don't really live near this office, but I don't mind the drive if I know I'm getting this type of care.) read more
