She was amazing and had the most patience w/ me. I was so nervous and anxious about the pain and she made the experience lighter for me. I'll def recommend anyone to come here!! I paid for the numbing cream bc I'm pain sensitive and that made a difference for me.

    Short version: The overall treatment wasn't too bad, but the receptionist lost my business over a…read more$25 fee. Because of this, I ended up finding a provider that's cheaper, more comfortable, and just a little better overall. - I tried to cancel an appointment, but their limited office hours made it difficult to reach anyone. When I finally explained that issue, the receptionist became defensive and insisted they call patients the day before appointments. In my case, no call was made. The only reminder I received was a text message sent three hours after the cancellation deadline had already passed, which isn't exactly helpful if the goal is avoiding cancellation fees. When I pointed this out, it felt like she wasn't really listening and said that I'd be charged $25 at my next appointment. I told her there wouldn't be a next appointment, and her response was, "That's fine." In hindsight, there were a few warning signs. The information I received from the receptionist about the procedure differed from what the nurse later told me. They charge for numbing cream (even though they tell you this upfront, it's still an extra charge on top of the procedure). The treatment chair looked like it had retired from a barbershop years ago and wouldn't stay elevated, so I kept slowly reclining backward whether I wanted to or not. To be fair, the nurse was friendly, professional, and genuinely pleasant to work with. No complaints there at all, she got that extra star on this review. (Even the receptionist was great to start off, I don't know why it flipped so quickly). What surprises me is that a business would choose to lose a long-term customer over a $25 fee rather than simply show a little understanding. Thankfully, I ended up finding a different provider, where the experience has been significantly better. The treatments are less expensive, the pain is noticeably lower, and the redness/swelling faded much faster afterward. (For pain comparison, I had to stop three times on an arm piece here and, at the new place I found, I went without stopping once. Initially I was kind of at a loss that I'd have to start over, but if that conversation hadn't happened, I probably would have kept coming here. Instead, I found a place that's a much better fit.

Back in 9/9/21 my daughter went in to have a COVID PCR test…read moreand at the time I was told by the staff, my copay is $50 for the Covid test with insurance, if I don't use my insurance, it will be $150. Now more than a month later, I got a bill for $45.03. I spoke to Aly, and according to her it's because my insurance didn't pay for the rest. I then asked her why is that they billed under "office output new patient 30 mins"? I said we didn't see any doctor the twice we were there (1st testing, 2nd we walked-in to get a printed result, cuz their phone was impossible to get thru).. so why are they billing to my insurance as outpatient visit???? It's a bullshit way charging and very misleading to the patients. Be aware when you come to this office or any AME group.

My tattoo is in the 5x5 category (although I think it's smaller than that) and it was all black so I expected a better result. Also their prices changed so now if I want more sessions it's $125 each (or 2 for $250- like what? That's the same price! lol Usually if you are buying a "package" there's a discount), the least they could have done is honor the original pricing since I've been a customer since before the changes. I still like the fact that it was painless and the technicians were nice but overall not a good outcome and their prices too high.

Melissa and Cynthia are truly exceptional providers!!! Thank you for helping correct my skin! I've never felt so confident without wearing makeup!! (: From the moment I walked in, the clinic felt clean, modern, and very professionally run. The front desk team (special shout out to Emily & Tima!) was warm, organized, and respectful of my time -- check-in was seamless and I never felt rushed or overlooked. You can tell they value patient experience just as much as clinical outcomes. The consultation was incredibly thorough. They took time to evaluate my skin, explain the technology being used, discuss realistic expectations, and review pre- and post-care in detail. I really appreciated that nothing felt "salesy." Instead, the focus was clearly on safety, education, and choosing the right treatment for my skin and goals. During my treatment, Cynthia was extremely skilled and attentive. She checked in frequently about comfort level, explained every step of the procedure, and confidence. I felt completely safe and cared for the entire time. Melissa also thoroughly took the time to build out my skin care routine and educate me on the importance of post care. Most importantly -- the results. I am genuinely thrilled. I noticed improvement sooner than expected, and my skin looks smoother, clearer, and more refreshed. The outcome looks natural and healthy, not overdone, which was very important to me. I would absolutely return for future treatments and already started recommending to friends and family. I highly recommend Neoderma if anyone is looking for results-driven, ethical care!!!

    I went in for a consultation, and the PA Johanna told me that my mole and brown spots could be…read moretreated with PicoWay laser treatments. She estimated I would need about 4-6 sessions. She also recommended using a melanin inhibitor beforehand because it would make the laser treatments more effective. I asked whether the products were vegan and cruelty-free. She said she'd go ask, but she came back without an answer. Before leaving, I scheduled my first PicoWay treatment for the following week. When I returned for the appointment, I saw a different PA, Sheri, who gave me different information. She told me the brown spots on my leg actually could not be treated with the laser after all, and that I would likely need 6-12 treatments rather than 4-6. She also did not know whether the recommended products were vegan and cruelty-free. Additionally, she explained that I was supposed to use the products for several weeks before beginning laser treatments -- something I had not been told during the original consultation. The first PA had mentioned the products, but never explained that pre-treatment use was required before starting the laser. Sheri contacted the product representative to ask about the vegan status of the products, but the rep was unsure and could not provide any timeline for getting an answer. At that point, I left without receiving treatment. Both PAs were friendly and professional, but I was frustrated by the lack of consistency and communication. I would have appreciated someone following up about whether the products were vegan before I came in expecting to begin treatment. Instead, I wasted time coming to an appointment that ultimately could not proceed. It also concerned me that the providers were not on the same page regarding what could actually be treated or how many sessions would realistically be required. It has now been about a month since that appointment, and nobody ever followed up regarding whether the products were vegan, despite assuring me that they would. I ultimately went to a dermatologist, who explained that the mole and brown spots should not be treated with laser in the first place. She excised the mole for less than the estimated cost of four laser sessions. Based on my experience, I would recommend seeing a dermatologist for concerns like these, since they are medical skin specialists.

Jess is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and skilled, but what truly sets her apart is her light touch and genuine care for her patients.

Her calm, reassuring demeanor instantly takes away any anxiety, and I never feel rushed or pressured. The results are consistently beautiful and natural, and I trust her completely. It's rare to find someone who combines technical expertise with such warmth and attention to detail. Every appointment feels personalized, and it's clear that she truly cares about her patients and their experience. If you're considering any aesthetic treatment, Nurse Jess is absolutely worth the drive. I wouldn't go anywhere else

Yikes. * The 4th session (the worst and last for me) was done by an inexperienced nurse who accidentally targeted my eyelid/eyelash area with the laser. * This caused significant pain, tearing, and irritation, and part of my eyelash was burned/cut off by mistake!!!!!. * Her reaction was unprofessional when I pointed it out. * I immediately reported the issue to reception. * I was later connected to a remote nurse/clinician via video call, but the response was dismissive and unhelpful, suggesting castor oil and saying it would regrow. (yay for me ;) 5 months I hardly got to regrow my lash) * No proper care, apology, or resolution was provided. * They contacted me twice afterward: the first time I was unavailable, and the second time the caller was speaking in a loud and aggressive manner, so I asked to be contacted another day as I was not willing to continue the conversation in that tone. * It has now been several months with no refund, no resolution, and no proper communication from the clinic management. I unfortunately only took a picture right after the incident. After that the eyelash fell out & only grew back several months after (with intense care) but I didn't take any photos during that time. Summary: Very inconsistent experience, not suitable for sensitive skin, and poor professionalism, skill level, and customer service throughout. I absolutely do not recommend.
