Very consultative, very thorough. I discovered a basil cell, Dr. Lines removed with precision and as much comfort as possible. I am a "Cash Pay" customer, and Dr Lines was Incredibly Fair & Reasonable. In the past, I visited Alta Dermatology on Power Rd/Southern. I regularly have a 6 month full-body scan of my skin because I am 'High Risk'. All too often, I was stuck in a crowded waiting room at Alta Dermatology for 45 minutes - 1 hour before I would be seen by my Doctor. Yes, I would arrive 10 minutes early as suggested, yet, I still wait, wait, wait. I was referred to Doctor Lines by a trusted friend 2 years ago. I have seen Dr. Lines 4 times now, each time, after checking in at front desk, I am asked back shortly afterwards. I appreciate that! I appreciate the fact that this office is thorough and conscientious of patients time & schedule and does not over-book the Doctor, or double stack Patients, creating long, unexpected, wait times, and frustration and irritation on my end!! I highly recommend Dr Ruskin Lines as a Dermatologist. I have been impressed and highly satisfied with the care I am receiving. read more

Have been seeing Dr. Lines for about 6 months. Had to upgrade medication for acne as first type wasn't working. Dr. Lines seems very knowledgeable and is pleasant, personality is somewhat unique.. LOL At times communication could be a little better as far as explaining the details to where there completely understood. Front office staff are pleasant/ unless you have an issue with having to reschedule or cancel. They advise you that a $25 fee will be processed or charged to you for any cancelation in less than a 24 hour time frame. Had been given a list of location to get blood work done: three of the five locations were no longer in business. We found this out after going to each one of them. Pharmacy & location need to be on the same page with prescription requirements. Other than that, we have been happy with the progress-it's been slow, but it has improved. read more

Dr Lines removed a mole from in between my eyes and it looks great. It has been about 8 months and you can't even tell I had anything there.

Passionate and very knowledgeable, Dr. Lines takes the time to explain, advise and help us take care of our skin. Never rushes through the visit. I got a call back with lab results and Dr. Lines himself was on the line for me! No other dermatologist has come close to his care. Office staff friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much! read more

Dr. Lines is great! I'd been dealing with some skin problems for a few years. I saw at least 5 doctors during that time with no improvement. Following Dr. Lines' advice and using the medication he prescribed I was symptom free in about 2 weeks. Wow! The staff were very pleasant too. I'm glad I found Dr. Lines. read more

Very kind friendly and knowledgeable!!! Takes to to explain what he is doing and gets results asap. Office staff also very friendly. read more

I cannot say enough good about after Dr. Ruskin Lines; he is not only the most compassionate and kind hearted man/doctor, but is also so knowledgeable, and so honest! If I had to travel to New York, I would travel there just to see him once a year for my check up. And his staff is both professional, kind and courteous; his whole practice is filled with a caring manner that is unusual for the medical field. I feel safe, protected and well taken care of being his patient and I would never go to any other doctor! read more

Dr. Lines a.k.a. Captain Cutaneum is great. I appreciate his friendly, personable attitude. He is very thorough and took time to explain things to me. Most Dr's are cold and robotic but Dr Lines knows me by name and I can tell that he wants me to live a long and cancer free life. His receptionist Kambi was able to get me in without a lot of trouble. She is very kind and funny on the phone. read more

Outstanding doctor and super nice guy! My son had an appointment today (wart removal). This could have been stressful/boring but thanks to Dr. Lines it was fun & informative! What a smart, witty human. Immaculate office, kind receptionist & nurse. If you need a dermatologist, go to Dr. Lines. read more

Dr. Lines is very professional and caring. He takes the time to explain what is going on and what and why he recommends something. Never had a doctor take the time that Dr. Lines does. Very professional office and extremely friendly. He schedules and sees his patients so their is not a hour waiting time. read more

BEST Dermatologist I have ever seen. His diagnosis was accurate. He wanted to see me for a follow-up appointment. He educated me on skincare and sun damage. Super professional, he had his assistant in the room at all times. Prompt for the appointment. He was amazing... I would recommend him to anyone looking for an old school Dr. that doesn't believe in double-booking his appointments and actually cares about his reputation and his clients. read more

was very easy to make a new patient appointment within a timely manner & staff is very friendly and helpful! dr. lines is great and was able to identify and treat my excezma issue on the first visit & i'm already noticing positive results. i had issues with my prescription insurance and office staff & the provider were quick and easy to assist me. i definitely recommend. read more

Just be aware that Dr. Lines and his staff refuse to wear masks because "they've been vaccinated". This violates both the CDC guidelines and the Maricopa County mask mandate. It's also just bad medical practice to see patients, especially during a pandemic, without wearing a mask. If you care about your health, your family's health, and the health of your fellow humans that are not vaccinated, avoid this office. read more

Great front office staff but Dr. Lines himself was very condescending throughout my exam. I now understand why the first highly recommended dermatologist I called had a 1 month wait to be seen and I was able to get into him in 2 days. Next time I will wait the extra time be seen by a reputable dermatologist than be seen by such a rude man. read more

I was very impressed with Dr. Lines, he was very kind and spent a lot of time with me. The staff is also friendly. read more

Ruskin R Lines, III, MD - Dermatologists Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Highly recommend. Doctor and staff were friendly and thorough. Went in for a 2nd skin cancer screening here after being overly hurried at a different dermatologist that didn't even check my scalp! read more

Wow! A sharp receptionist (Denise) and an appointment made quickly! Dr. Lines name was given to us by our primary physician. I am writing this because Denise was professional and kind: I not only received an appointment for within a week but she made sure I had the correct new business address.(The old one had been listed on Yelp and I submitted the new address to the editors at Yelp before I wrote this review.) Since I had just spent a very frustrating 15 minutes trying to get an appointment at the dermotologists' office which I have used for the past 7 YEARS, I am impressed so far. (By the way, if I like this doctor, I have just hired a new dermo.) THANK YOU, Denise! read more

The doctor talks way too much about himself. He doesn't really listen when you explain your concerns. I asked them what I would be charged, they said my copay only. I have received 2 bills now for over $300. I don't know how that is legal. I asked what I would be billed and you said my copay only. Thanks for giving me a heads up on the cost of a biopsy. DO NOT USE THIS DOCTORS OFFICE. read more

My go to dermatologist for a decade. Dr. Lines is warm and thorough in examination and explanation. The diagnoses are prompt and care immediate. Absolutely fair in billing and more than competent in care. Though I need periodic examinations from life long sun exposure, I look forward to seeing Dr. Lines, frozen spots and all. read more

Just came back to work from my visit to Dr. Lines. The staff is totally sweet and helpful. Dr. Lines is the greatest. He came to me highly recommended and now I know why. Right to the point and explained it all to me so as I could understand what was happening. Thank you ever so much Dr. Lines and staff..... read more

Able to schedule an apt, pretty quickly--less than 3 days away to have some moles checked out. Will let you know, how the visit goes- demeanor, promptness, cleanliness, etc. But, so far so good. 9-22-09--went to the office, everything was spot on- demeanor, promptness, cleanliness, etc... He said that my moles were fine, but keep an eye for them; and that dermatologist are looking for the "level of sun exposure" that an individual can absorb (for example a fair blue eyed blonde cannot absorb as much as someone with my background- Filipino). Suggested, I use Blue Lizard sunscreen and creates his own comic books. Totally recommend him. Will use him again, no problem. read more

I went in to Dr Lines for a skin cancer screening on June 6th and he found two pre-cancer spots and froze them off, one on my arm and one under my left eye. The spot on my left eye cause swelling so I stayed home from work the following day. Because I drive a commercial truck, I needed a doctors note to return to work after the swelling went down. When I called Dr Lines on the phone afterwards for a return to work note, he stated that if he had to write doctor notes for all his patients that that's all he'd been doing. He was rude and uncooperative for a simple doctor note for my work. I'll be looking for a different dermatologist. read more

What a joke of a dermatologist. He stood by the door and asked me what the previous dermatologist had diagnosed. I was seated on the exam table and he never even approached me to examine my skin. I still can't believe I paid for that joke call. read more

I will not be returning. I was trying to start a medication for my adult acne, but I first had to go have blood work done to be approved to start it. My blood work came back in a negitive state and I was unable to start the medication. The office staff could have easily call to inform me that the medication would not be prescribed due to my blood work. Instead they had me pay a ridiculous co-pay for this negitive answer. I also end up sitting in the waiting room 30 minutes past my scheduled appointment time. I find Dr lines to be annoyingly repetitive as if he thinks I can't understand what he is trying to " discuss " with me. read more

It is obvious that Dr. Lines is there just to collect his paycheck. He doesn't refill your scripts unless you make another appointment to go in and see him. Also, the last time I was in I asked him if he could send the script he was providing me with to my pharmacy so that it could save me some time, he replied that it was an inconvenience to him and his office and said I'd have to walk it in myself. I've never experienced any Doctor's office where they were unwilling to send a script in for me out of inconvenience. If you want a genuine Dermatologist who cares what's going on with you, do not go here! read more

Dr. Lines is very knowledgeable, listens, and takes time to explain the diagnosis with visual aids. He takes his time, giving you the opportunity to discuss all your issues. I've been to his office numerous times and have referred my parents and wife. read more

Best dermatologist I've been to! Dr. Lines is pleasant, caring, informative and doesn't rush your appointment. He offers advice on how to prevent skin damage. (and I'm a redhead so I've seen a few). Pleasant office staff as well. read more

Amazing dermatologists! Knew exactly what I had when others did not. He is kind and had no scarring. Very kind and billing department was considerate. Office staff is like a "family" operated business! Highly recommend. read more

Dr Ruskin Lines is literally the best doctor I have ever used. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains things well. I have used him for several years now and for different issues. My wife has also used him and she loves him as well. I can't say enough good things about Dr Lines. read more

This doctor is a crook and a liar. I wouldn't see him again if he was the only Dr. left on earth that could treat me. I went in the office for a simple Doctor certified diagnosis on my psoriasis. Which he confirmed looked to be the case and they prescribed me medicine for it. Before I left the examination room, they asked each other if they should do a biopsy. To which they at first said No, then they both said, oh why not. Extra money for them, I mean why not right. I asked if this is going to be an extra charge and they said No, I also asked if they send to Third Party and they said No. So they took the biopsy two months ago, which I still have a dime sized scar from and I received two bills for the same amount from Dr. Lines office and Sonora Quest Labs in the amount of 180 at each. When I called the billing department they were very kind. However, when I called the office, they literally laughed at me when I told them my issue. Stay away from these people, they will figure out a way to take more money from your pocket. read more

We are winter visitors from Idaho and this Dr. Is the best !! My wife and I go to him every year. Even if he is a Mormon he is a good Dr.
