I was seen for my annual skin check, a precancerous spot was identified, and I was provided a prescription for a cream to treat it with instructions to follow up 6 weeks later. The follow up took all of 2 minutes. I then received a bill for a copay. I called to inquire since, in my mind, it was a follow up requested by the physician. I did not return for a new problem. The individual said she would inquire further with the office and get back to me. I just received a call back that it was a billable service and the copay for the office visit would remain. I think this is pretty absurd since it was a requested follow up that should have fallen under the previous appt.

This dermatologist has one of the worst office staff I have ever encountered. They are rude and…read moresimply not helpful. I had what looked to be a very concerning mole. I had been out of town for several years and when I called for an appointment, I was told I would be considered a new patient and that I would have to wait about 6 months for an appointment. When I explained that I had a very concerning mole, the person on the fone repeated I would be treated as a new patient and that I would get an appointment in 6 months. When I said, okay, what would the receptionist recommend I do, she repeated I would be treated as a new patient and would be seen in six months. I then asked if Dr Aria had a standby physician whom I could see. The receptionist then again stated I would be a treated as a new patient and I could be seen in six months. I might as well have just gotten voice mail on a loop. When I said to her that she was merely repeating the same thing over and over again, she hung up. I called again, got a man and made an appointment six months in advance. But, then I found out they simply cancelled my appointment. Is Dr. Aria running a medical practice? By the way, in the past, when I went for my appointment, the office staff had me answer verbally on the phone all the medical questions they had (some of which were confidential) while sitting in the parking lot for anyone to overhear. There does not seem to be a care in the world about HIPPA. Good luck with this physician and her office staff. The Doctor came highly recommended on NextDoor. But, I don't think I would write a good review given my experiences with this doctor and, in particular, her office staff. What an abomination!

She is also not the kind of doctor who will take one look and be like, - Oh this little problem of yours, it will be gone in no time. She will take her time to explain the symptoms, not promise me random miracles and be upfront of what the consequences/ results of the treatment will be. The fact that I have stuck to her as my dermatologist since 2012, given her uber rude/ nonchalant/ non-accommodating staff is testament to how good she exactly is! More than once, I have heard the staff make comments (sometimes rude ones), about other patients. Getting an appointment is TOUGH and usually making an appointment before you leave the office is best. IF you ever need to cancel, God help you! Their staff will not make it a pleasant experience. In terms of waiting time, it is usually consistent between 10 - 20 minutes. However, I have had appointments where I waited less than 5 minutes and the one like last time where I waited an hour! I have usually seen that coming in at least 15 minutes prior to your appointment time helps a lot. However, I do love coming to Dr. Wolfe for her expertise, her bedside manner and her general disdain towards over medication. I would happily give this place 5 stars had the front desk staff been nicer.

The office, itself, is old AF, but Dr. Colon was kind and knowledgeable. I waited in the waiting room for less than five minutes, and that included the time to fill out paperwork. I was called back within moments where I was asked a series of thorough questions and waited maybe four more minutes before the doctor actually came to take a look at my skin. She was very transparent, but also had a good bedside manner. She didn't make me feel like there was anything wrong with my skin, which is experiencing some hormonal, acne, and she got me going with a great plan. I'll check back in in a few months with updates on how my treatment plan is going, but in the meantime, I'm super impressed. They also partner with a local pharmacy that will get your prescriptions authorized much more quickly than the big box pharmacy pharmacies if needed.

Even though I had already completed the new patient application online, they asked me to complete it again. After doing that, I waited another 15 minutes before asking the front desk about the delay, and they told me the doctor was running behind. That would have been helpful to know earlier. Eventually, they called me back to a room where I spoke with the nurse practitioner. She left and said the doctor would arrive shortly. After waiting another 10 minutes, I asked the front desk again about the delay, but they didn't have an answer. The nurse practitioner came back once more and said the doctor was on his way. Five minutes later, he finally arrived, spent less than five minutes with me, and walked out. Overall, it was a very poor experience, and I will not be returning.

It was my second time getting them, the first was not here, so be warned that I don't have a lot of basis for comparison.

They also wore off after about 2.5 months, which was close to the 2 months they mentioned, but kind of disappointing considering the cost. With those previous negatives in mind, the facility was nice and peaceful, they have a cute waiting area with magazines where you can hang out after and wait for the swelling to go down. Cathy was really nice and didn't point out other flaws on my face or suggest tons of other procedures she thought I needed. This was in June so I don't know how long they'll last, but so far so good.

A very knowledgeable and friendly member of their team discussed my skin concerns and I scheduled an appointment for the introductory special. The price was reasonable and I did not mind paying up front. When I arrived, Sara, the Receptionist made me feel very welcome. My consultation began immediately in a comfortable private office after I was given a bottle of water (Deer Park spring water, not "purified water" which I appreciated!). They used a high-tech device to photograph and analyze my face. The report compared my skin to the redness, pore size, sun damage, and wrinkles to a national database of women my age. I was shocked at the amount of sun damage the device revealed, which was far more than I'd noticed with the naked eye. I purchased additional items above those in my prepaid package, but I felt well cared for and that each team member mastered their field. I will implement the skin care improvements they suggested and return for another service. For subsequent visits, the technology can compare and detail improvements in my skin's condition.
