The reviews…read moreare great so I felt like this would be a good choice and so far after two appointments, I really like this clinic and Dr Mailer. Before coming to Sand Lake Dermatology I had a biopsy at another clinic and was scheduled to have a carcinoma removed. I was unable to have this done at the other clinic so I booked the first appt available with Sand Lake Dermatology which was set for the end of July. Once I was able to get my records sent to the clinics, a staff member called me right away and moved my appointment to have a carcinoma removed from my face to last week. Because of the interactions I had over the phone and online with this clinic, I felt comfortable having this clinic remove the carcinoma even though I had not even seen the clinic nor doctor. While I was mildly aware of what the procedure entailed, the staff that prepared me answering questions and numbing me(Marisol and Aaron) were great and made me feel comfortable. Dr Mailer was just as nice and made me feel comfortable. I was of course aware of the dr performing the procedure, I couldn't see it and didn't feel it. The procedure is called Moh's procedure where they typically cut away the determined margin around the affected area, bandage you up and let the patient wait in the lobby while the removed specimen is being reviewed in the onsite lab. If the lab determines that not enough was removed to show clear margins, the patient is brought back in and the dr removes more repeating the process until margins are clear. In my case, the dr removed all that needed to be removed leaving clear margins so after the lab results returned after a couple of hours, I was brought back into the procedure room and the dr proceeded to stitch up my wound applying dissolving stitched under the skin and removable stitches outside. My appointment for follow up and outer stitches removal was set for one week later( this past Tuesday). I was prescribed a heavy antibiotic and advised to keep Vaseline on the stitched up area and keep it covered with a bandage that is changed daily. Once I was stitched up, I mentioned a growth I have noticed on my eyelid and the dr suggested that on my follow up appointment she would take a biopsy. So this past Tuesday I had stitches removed, the area where I had stitches seems to be healing well and it doesn't appear that there will be a heavy scar. I am happy to see this as the area that was removed was quite large and the area stitched was quite long. The nurse, Natalie numbed my face, the stitches were removed and I didn't feel anything. They also numbed my eyelid so the biopsy could be taken. This is a sensitive area so this was a bit more intense but it went quickly and the biopsy was done. I will likely have results next week. What could have been a high anxiety first procedures (I've never had any surgery or stitches) turned out to be a pretty smooth experience. I recommend consideration of Sand Lake Dermatology as the staff and Dr Mailer were great, the waiting room is comfortable and even the staff that manages scheduling, check in, check out, nurses, physicians assistants all made me feel important, individual and taken care of. I wish all medical experiences could be similar to what I experienced.

It's thru a tunnel and on the 2nd floor. There aren't any outward signs making it hard to find as a first time patient. I called and let the office know I was in the parking lot w my toddler & we were heading up. Once I got there I was told I wouldn't be allowed to be seen per the provider. What?!? I just spoke to someone. The chinless front desk person gave zero & the office manager, Amanda didn't care & was incredibly snobby. I will never set foot in there again! I will not recommend this place to anyone! Good luck Jeannie! Maybe all of this stems from the top? Please learn how to treat people w respect!!!

March 2026 update: I initially started seeing NP Kim Pham…read moreapproximately one month ago for management of my moderate HS lesions. In the short time span that we have started treatment, progression of my lesions have slowed down, I have had almost no joint pain/fatigue and my quality of life has continued to improve. NP Pham addressed financial hurdles we may encounter as Cosentyx is a medication that is not easily approved by insurance. When the inevitable happened, she quickly reassured me that she would stop at nothing until we obtained insurance coverage or were able to find some kind of financial assistance. Well- we did it! She worked with the manufacturer Novartis and was able to obtain financial assistance for (2) years of medication to alleviate my symptoms and keep my condition under control. Her dedication towards not only her career but her patients never go unnoticed. NP Pham makes healthcare more approachable by delivering services with empathy, understanding, and is always solution driven. I am so blessed to have her as a doctor! I will follow her anywhere
