He estado visitando Upper Layer durante el último mes para tratar los granitos que tenía, y la verdad es que he visto un cambio increíble en mi piel. Las extracciones que me han hecho me ayudaron muchísimo y noto mi rostro mucho más limpio y saludable. También me gusta que siempre me hablan con honestidad sobre lo que realmente necesito, sin venderme cosas de más. Me explican cada paso y me guían en mi proceso, lo cual me da mucha confianza. Super recomendado. ‍ read more

Randomly called today asking about a possible mole removal. Oscar asked me to come in for a quick free consult. A few minutes later I was in his office discussing what it was and the small procedure to get it removed. I ended up getting it removed and was very pleased with the pricing of it as well as how gentle he was while working on me. He is a very sweet professional knowledgeable man. I will definitely be coming back in the near future. So happy to finally have a local dermatologist. read more

Oscar has done miracles to my skin. I've been going to him for about 7yrs now & I can honestly say he saved my skin!

I have been trusting my skin to Oscar and Upper Layers for over a decade and can unconditionally recommend them for providing the best services at reasonable pricing. Even after moving away from the city, I will make the long commute to have them help my skin once a month. Oscar and their staff provide very warm, friendly, honest advice and skin care for my changing skin needs. Their business is very clean and they adhere to sanitary practices to continue providing high quality skin care even in this pandemic. I love the gentle cleansing routines they share and their microdermabrasion treatment has been very effective in removing any of my cystic acne scars.

I came here about a year ago for "lazer hair removal" supposedly after 8 sessions, the hair was as if I had never done anything.

However, everyone is super nice and I really liked the facials their. Very through. read more

ANY skin care issues I have ever encountered since knowing him, he fixed right away! Never had not one moment of disappointment and trust me, you won't either.

Very shocked to see some of the less than stellar reviews on here. that has NEVER been my experience. I am very hard to please and so BLESSED that Oscar is just one phone call away!!!! :) read more

I tried this place out based on a referral from a friend. I was a little skeptical as I have struggled with my skin for about ten years and NOTHING has worked. I have been on everything from retin-A, and benzoyl peroxide, to oral medications like minocycline, birth control, and spironolactone. Needless to say, I had almost given up on finding anything that worked. I had been finally diagnosed as having a bacterial skin infection and was prescribed with topical antibiotics that seemed to work for a while but eventually probably made it worse. Doctor Mendez was calm and comforting as I explained my situation and assured me that he would be able to help. He took one look and could tell that what I had was definitely not a bacterial infection. His approach is simple. Don't put a bunch of different things on your skin, and don't touch your skin (I'm kind of a picker). It was hard to hear at firs,t since I thought I had all these things wrong with me that were really just a result of other doctors getting too fancy with treatments, and me having too many "surgical sessions" at home. At first it seemed to clear up a little and I kind of stopped going. But when my skin went back to being terrible, I made a commitment to keep going. Now my skin is the best it has ever been. I go once every month or so and get a medical facial and microdermabrasion, which compared to many other places is very well priced. Especially if you go regularly. Unlike some other places that only offer deals to first time customers, Dr. Mendez likes to take care of his regular patients as well as offering deals to first timers. I never feel like he is in it for the money. I truly believe he gets more out of his profession by helping people feel better and look better. He is never rushed and takes time with every patient. (Sometimes a downside if you're in a hurry) but if you let him know, he will get you in and out in no time. His bedside manner is impeccable. I actually look forward to going to see him, even though a medical facial can be a little uncomfortable, he makes it painless. I have referred other friends who now go religiously and it is great to see everyone with such clear skin. Thank you Dr. Mendez, you have truly changed my life. read more
