First and foremost, every staff member I encountered was wonderful. They were polite, kind, and right on time. Dr. Berne has to be one of my new favorite humans ever. I think between when I checked in and when Dr. Berne came in, I waited MAYBE a total of 5 minutes. Dr. Berne came in and apologized profusely for the wait -- a misguided apology since the wait was literally nothing lol but what really stuck out to me was that he said he was a little behind because he wants to make sure he hears his patients out fully. He wants to get all of the information possible from them in order to help them. I feel like this is so rare in the medical industry (which, I get because doctors have to make sure they're seeing all of their patients). There are offices I've been to where patients are kind of shuttled in and out as fast as possible. Dr. Berne takes his time to hear you out, fully explains the care plan to you, and stresses the importance of following up. I'm excited to make this my primary skincare location!

Cute office with lots of seating in the waiting room, not that I waited long. I was quickly seen by a PA and everything was painless and easy. The Dr was very easy to talk to.
I was in and out quickly with no hassles.
Would absolutely go back if I had any other issues or concerns.
