5 months agoI have been a patient here for at over 10 years. Dr. Young is the best! Compassionate and caring. But if I ever need to call to check the status of my prescription refill, it can take 2 weeks or more. I can't get a person to pick up the phone nor can I get someone to return my call...so frustrating.

4 months agoHad a virtual meeting about my SKIN. Doctor was rude and seemed rushed. Gave me prescriptions that I didn't use because my skin wasn't even assessed in person. Would not recommend.

6 months agoLove this place! They have taught me so much about my skin and how to take care of melanated skin. I've been going here since I was 17 and I am 22 now.

2 years agoI waited almost 2 months to meet with noted Dr Callender I anticipated this visit. HOWEVER, I was told my appt would be virtual. I was very confused since i have issues with my skin. I waited 1 hour to speak with the Dr (again virtually) was rushed through my appt did not get any definite answers. My appt lasted 7 minutes and was told her office would follow up and I never heard from her again it's been a month.
