I previously left a poor review last year because nearly every visit resulted in waiting at least…read more15 minutes past my scheduled appointment time. The manager replied at the time, acknowledging the issue and saying they were "fine-tuning appointment durations" and making adjustments. Wanting to give them the benefit of the doubt, I decided to try again this year. To be clear, the front desk staff and nurses have always been friendly and professional--no complaints there. During this most recent visit, they explained their internet was down, so I tried to be understanding. My appointment was at 11:50, but I wasn't called back until about 20 minutes later. After a brief conversation with the nurse, I changed into my gown and then waited another 15 minutes before the doctor (Andrea Jones) came in. She didn't apologize for the delay--just said, "Hi, thanks for your patience, welcome back." After waiting roughly 40 minutes past my appointment time, I expected a bit more acknowledgment, but I let it go. This was an annual skin exam. Dr. Jones asked about a mole on my cheek that had been bothering me last year, so I explained that I had it removed by another dermatologist a few months after my last appointment with her. I told her the area didn't completely smooth out after being shaved off, but that I wasn't eager to go through another cutting-and-healing process unless there was a less invasive option, like laser. She confirmed there wasn't, and said punching it out might be the best option. Somewhere in the conversation, things seemed to get lost in translation. I said I was tired of dealing with it, and she took that as me agreeing to another procedure. She then told me it would cost $750 since it was cosmetic. I was confused because I never said I wanted a procedure done. After we cleared that up, she responded: "Oh, then why are we even talking about this? We're just wasting our time talking about something you're not interested in treating." Like, I'm sorry--I'M wasting YOUR time?? Talk about RUDE. She had asked about my cheek, and I was simply answering her question. I never said I wasn't interested in improving it--only that I didn't want another surgical cut. That is not an appropriate way to speak to a patient. We continued with the skin exam. She mentioned my scalp looked irritated, so I explained the recent issues I'd had (acne flare-ups, scalp psoriasis, etc.). She listened, but showed no empathy for the stress or frustration I'd been dealing with. Her only response was, "Well, we can do a patch test," which felt more like another upsell than genuine care. Overall, she showed zero concern, and it felt like she was eager to end the appointment once she realized I wasn't planning to spend extra money on treatments or tests. Basically a 50 minute appointment for 5 minutes of the actual "Doctor's time". I gave this place a second chance after my poor experience last year, hoping things would improve. Unfortunately, today's visit confirmed the opposite. I will absolutely not be returning. Not now, not ever.

Dr. Sarah Stano, Art Dermatology, Bellevue…read more Zero accountability toward patients and an unsuccessful procedure. I had a small mark on my face. It almost looked like acne, but it was not. She attempted to treat it the first time and gave me many disclaimers. A few weeks later, it was back exactly the same way. I went back, paid again (at a higher charge), and she treated it again. A few weeks later, it came back again! This time, I called multiple times to explain that she should see me without charging another fee. They were very hesitant but finally agreed. Then the doctor canceled my appointment. The next available appointment is more than six weeks away. I was told the doctor is busy, likely seeing new patients. I am very disappointed in the treatment, accountability, and lack of professionalism from Dr. Stano. She showed no accountability toward her existing patients, only an eagerness to keep seeing new patients and stay busy making money. I will be looking for a new dermatologist that I can stay with long-term.

I've been going to Lake Washington Dermatology for about the last 5-6 years and have been a patient…read moreof Dr. Kim's for most of that time. I have had truly nothing but great experiences with her and her office and would highly recommend her as a provider! I have been dealing with idiopathic urticaria (spontaneous hives) since 2009 and have seen many doctors and specialists who have never been able to find a solution. Then, a few years ago, I started having cold-induced hives as well, making it impossible for me to go out in the winter without breaking out in hives or even handle cold glasses and objects for too long. After no luck with increased antihistamine use, Dr. Kim prescribed me Xolair, which has been used experimentally for hives. It took a few weeks of her petitioning my insurance for use, but she got approval. Her and her team handled all of the back and forth and kept me updated throughout the process, and since I got on the medication, I have had no to minimal hive breakouts since. Then again this past year, when my employer-provided insurance changed, Dr. Kim and her team have continued to battle approvals for me and help me obtain samples while we sorting things out with insurance denials. Yvonne, a medical assistant on her team, has been extremely helpful and responsive, battling this for months now and keeping me informed and medicated in the meantime. Dr. Kim is the only person who has ever been able to help me with this condition, and her and her whole team have been nothing but professional, helpful and caring throughout my time as her patient.

I've been a patient here for ten years or thereabouts. I think the maximum time I have seen the…read moresame doctor more than once before they left the practice, I saw them twice. I was supposed to have an appointment today but realized this morning that I hadn't gotten any confirmation from them, so I called to make sure I was still on the schedule before heading over. They told me "my" doctor, a person I had not met before, had left the practice and they would not have the capacity to reschedule me. They offered to give me the number of another clinic that they're offloading patients to. They claimed I should have received a letter and a text that my appointment was cancelled. I never got a letter, and when I went back and looked, the text I received did not actually indicate to me that the person leaving the practice was my doctor. It just said that a doctor was leaving the practice and IF you happened to have an upcoming appointment with that doctor, you should call to reschedule. Needless to say, the writing has been on the wall for awhile that this is not a clinic with a future for the kind of derms patient I am (maybe, as another review surmises, they are going 100% cosmetic which means less annoyance with insurance and more money per visit), and I guess I'm glad to have had them force me out as a patient so I can find a doctor who I will actually recognize from year to year. But man, what an unprofessional way to go about it with a pretty long term patient.

They care about their patients and their overall health rather than just cosmetologic issues. The location is great, easy for parking and their office is spacious and welcoming. Dr. Rachel Garton and Dr. Brenda Newman are both well trained experts in their field. I have seen both of them on separate occasions. They both are attentive to your needs, listening to the problem and they take the time to really examine you and find the best solution. Even despite being doctors they will call you to clarify prescription refills or even see how you are doing. This kind of humble kindness cannot be found anywhere. It helps that their expertise has really improved my dermatologic problems over the years. I would not go anywhere else. Their staff is also so kind and helpful and even their billing staff will work with you to help figure out issues. If you are looking for a caring, knowledgeable dermatologist you should definitely call and make an appointment. They are the best!

WARNING: Nepotism, nepotism, nepotism. Almost everyone is…read morerelated to the Dr. and are from one particular Asian country. It's a "We hire our cousins" type of place. They even tell you if they're a cousin or an aunt, so they must not know it's not really allowed anymore in this part of the world. The patient care suffers because of this. Nepotism became unethical many years ago, but not at this organization. Also, they don't follow HIPAA regulations at all. A number of times, when I was checking in here, the Office Worker (an Aunt I believe) was also watching her school age children after school. Her kids were looking at my health info on a computer screen right over her shoulder. I could tell they were reading everything. It didn't seem right. I received Mohs surgery at North Pacific Dermatology in Bellevue, WA to remove basal cell carcinoma a couple of years ago. The surgery was top notch, but the the care from his cousins and aunts after the surgery was very bad. I returned weekly for 5 weeks to have another membrane and bandage put on. Of the 6 bandages they put on, 3 fell off within one day. It was very scary. One fell off within the hour. Do not go to this place as you will not receive good care because they hire their own family members and are not held accountable as they would be at most medical places.

I scheduled an appointment nearly 10 months out. Unfortunately, due to a travel conflict, I needed to reschedule. When I called, I was told the next available appointment was another 9 months away. That kind of delay makes it very difficult to maintain continuity of care, especially as a returning patient. I understand demand is high, but the lack of flexibility or reasonable rescheduling options was disappointing.

I find it funny that when they want to make sure you don't cancel an appointment, they will charge you one hundred dollars, and if you show up to an appointment you thought you had and no one got a hold of you to tell you, it was canceled....they do nothing, it's just oops, sorry about that.
