I continue to see Dr. Jane Yoo for all of my skin concerns, and I continue to be very happy with…read moreeach and every one of my experiences at this office and with this doctor. I most recently visited Dr. Yoo late last year. I had a weird growth on the bottom of my lower lip that I was fervently hoping would go away on its own, but it never did. It looked a bit like a blackhead, but it was something else, because it was there for many months. Dr. Yoo told me the technical name for it when I saw her, but I don't remember what it is. It wasn't really changing in size or appearance, and unlike a few moles that Dr. Yoo has removed, I really wasn't concerned about it as a medical issue. Dr. Yoo let me know that because it was a cosmetic issue, I would need to pay the full fee for it. She estimated the fee, and it seemed reasonable, so I went ahead and got it removed. It took 2 separate appointments, and the final cost fell exactly within her estimate range, so I appreciated that. My growth was removed, and I needed to return for the second visit in order to get the stitch taken out. I was concerned by how my lip appeared when I returned, the area where the growth had been looked darker than I'd expected and a bit more red as well, but my concerns were addressed and allayed, and within another 1 - 2 weeks after the second appointment, my lip looks as though it never had a growth at all, which was the precise result I was most hoping for. Dr. Yoo's MA is very personable and professional, as are the excellent reception staff. The waiting room is pleasant, the checking in process is seamless, and I am always seen by the Doctor within a timely manner. I plan on continuing with Dr. Yoo as my Dermatologist for the foreseeable future. I highly recommend both Dr. Yoo and this Office. Seattle Skin and Laser is going by Frontier Dermatology now, so I may see if their new name is on Yelp, and, if so, I may repost this review there too. It is so nice to have a Dermatologist whom I can trust.

That's how much I HATE THIS COMPANY. There's much I won't mention. Too much. If you have a real medical condition go to a REAL Doctor. This ain't the joint.

I'm a little disturbed by another reviewer who made allegations about "vaccine" status etc as it's none of our business to know the personal medical info of a professional doing treatments as it in no way affects the client. You have more chance of catching hepatitis or norovirus from eating at an eatery than you do catching covid from professional skin services.

I texted Cassandra asking if I was in the right place and she said she'd be up in a minute. I waited for about 10 minutes when she showed up without a mask on which was immediately unnerving to me. On the door to the business is the photo posted below-her website doesn't provide any information about her stance on vaccines. Had she had made it clear on her website that she is against vaccines and the science behind them, I would have never made the appointment. Aside from her blatant disregard for public health, Cassandra was extremely rude to me. I left just a few minutes into it because I was so uncomfortable. I'm not sure if she was being particularly rude to me because she could tell I was uncomfortable from her not wearing a mask/her sign or if she treats every customer this way. I've never been spoken to the way she did by a 'professional' in the beauty/health/wellness industry. It was as if she was mad at ME for being there! I thought maybe I had booked the wrong thing online, so a minute into her brash line of questioning I apologized and said, "oh I'm sorry I thought I booked a consultation," she responded in a condescending tone saying, "I know-this is me consulting you." It's concerning that this person is claiming a 'science based' approach to her work when it's very clear that she is not aligned with the scientific community. I'd caution anyone to patronize this business, particularly during this omicron surge.

Update: PUR just keeps getting better and better.. I have now received multiple laser hair removal treatments which I LOVE and recently had fractionated laser treatment on my face. I am already seeing such a difference and am excited to continue with the treatments for maximum results. My skin texture is smoother and I have noticed some of the dark discolorations are lifting. Thank you Denice and all of you ladies at PUR.. you are truly knowledgable, professional, and such a joy to visit with every time I come in! 10/2013: I have visited PUR Skin Clinic a few times now and have had a wonderful experience each and every time. I have had laser hair removal with Denice several times now and am completely in love with the results! The facial I received from Samantha was nothing short of heaven and she introduced me to some new products that I have been really happy with.. I have since referred multiple people to this clinic and will continue to do so. read more

From facials to laser treatments to Botox, the providers at Pur Skin Clinic in Edmonds are the best in the business! I have had facials, peels, laser hair reduction and IPL with Master Esthetician Carly and she is amazing! She does such a great job at explaining the treatment and making me feel comfortable. Also, I got a phone call after my laser treatments, to check in and make sure that I was doing well and to answer any questions. I felt so taken care of and will continue to see Carly for future treatments. As for Botox, you cannot go wrong with either of the Physician Assistants at Pur. Both Denice and Jill have such an incredible eye and take time to make sure everything looks perfect. I had a lot of questions before receiving my first Botox treatment and everyone at Pur make sure to answering all of my questions. I will always be a Pur Skin Clinic client and recommend all of the providers! read more

My husband underwent an outpatient cyst removal procedure with Dr. Song on May 19, 2026. We were told the procedure went as planned and were given standard aftercare instructions, including avoiding showers and exercise for 24 hours and applying Vaseline afterward. The following day, less than 24 hours after the procedure, my husband began bleeding heavily through layers of gauze, bandages, and eventually his clothing. We contacted Frontier Dermatology and were instructed to have him lie down and apply pressure. We followed those instructions exactly, but the bleeding continued and worsened. When we called the after-hours physician, we repeatedly sought guidance about whether we should go to the ER. Despite explaining the situation in detail, we were unable to get a clear answer. We were told we would "probably end up at the ER" but were also told that no one could definitively recommend that course of action without seeing him. We first went to urgent care, where the physician was uncomfortable treating the wounds because of their depth and complexity. After attempts to stop the bleeding failed, we were sent directly to the emergency room. At the ER, the physician treated the wounds with silver nitrate to stop the bleeding after hours of unsuccessful attempts elsewhere. We did not return home until approximately 1:00 a.m. The next day, I filed a formal complaint with Frontier Dermatology regarding both the procedure and the lack of adequate after-hours support. During that conversation, I learned my husband had no follow-up appointment scheduled for two months. Shortly afterward, Dr. Song personally called my husband and defended the treatment decisions that had been made. Because we were concerned by everything that had happened, my husband sought a second opinion from another dermatologist. That dermatologist informed him that the wounds were infected and required antibiotics and additional treatment. We were also told that corrective care would now be necessary to reduce the likelihood of significant scarring. During follow-up communication, we learned that no pathology report had been performed on the tissue removed during the procedure. What should have been a routine outpatient procedure resulted in severe bleeding, an urgent care visit, an ER visit, an infection, additional medical treatment, missed time, stress, and ongoing concerns about long-term scarring. We understand that complications can happen in medicine. What troubled us most was the combination of the outcome itself, the difficulty obtaining clear guidance when things went wrong, and the need to seek care elsewhere to address the resulting complications. I hope sharing our experience helps other patients ask questions, seek second opinions when necessary, and make informed decisions about their care.
