All spots on face and top of head are gone like I asked .
Very prompt professional service.
I highly recommend her. Professional and friendly.
My appointment was at 830, I arrived at 8 as requested to fill out new patient paper work. They called me in by 820, and I was completely finished by 835. Fast, efficient, courteous , friendly and knowledgeable. Overall a great experience, under the circumstances of my visit.
First time for full check for skin problems. Very professional and comfortable to have the procedures done. Thanks to Thomas Derm
Dr McLeish was very thorough and kind. I had a list of concerns and she carefully covered each one. Her office staff were very sweet and efficient.

Front office very efficient, Dr Gonzalez wonderful
Dr. Gonzalez did a great job, he explained everything to me in a very clear manner. He was also kind and friendly. All the stuff was great, they were helpful. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dermatologist.
No wait time very clean and professional
Very professional and cordial. Would definitely recommend them to everyone.
I had a good experience.
Very good service to all patients
The Dr & his assistant both showed a high degree of ccompetency & outstanding patient care.
Very professional, thourough, polite and he explained everything perfectly.
The doctor and staff were great. What I was not happy about, however, is that I was offered only one $180 product as a solution for my skin issue. I wish it was more of a priority to educate and inform rather than push a specific product. I left feeling very disappointed.
I liked Dr Gonsales very much the wait wasn’t what I thought it was very efficient
Dr. Lopez was very thorough and informative
Good exam and explanation in what’s going on. Made me feel comfortable and at ease
She knows what she is talking about and to the point very nice person I really like her I would recommend her highly!
This was a great experience. Dr. Bettencourt let's you know what she is seeing and whether it is of concern as she performs the exam. Second time I've seen her and both experiences were excellent. The office staff, especially "Nicky" were amazing. Some disgruntled patient came in and was speaking very loudly in the lobby/waiting area. He was mad about insurance issues, not the medical practice, but he clearly blamed the practice for some of the confusion of dealing with the insurance company. Nicky was compassionate, kind, helpful and a great listener... Seriously good at resolving conflict and restoring calm... I'm a lawyer. I see angry people, frustrated people all of the time... I would love to have Nicky running interference for my business. That staff was professional and they all seemed to get along and enjoy their work... never forgetting about the waiting patients. This medical practice made me wait a 1/2 hour to be seen, but it was worth it just to see a well oiled machine at work.
Dr Gonzalez was great. He gave me tons of good information and cared about my health.
Very nice and personable Dr. Highly recommend
It was fast and thorough and very helpful and straight to the point. Friendly staff
Dr informed me what can be done and the name of what I had when shown a particular spot - I did not feel rushed
