Hopefully, you read this BEFORE making an appointment. Do yourself a huge favor and choose literally any other dermatologist in the city. This office is not there to help, they only want your money. You’ll be able to book appointments, be seen by a doctor, and then be billed. If you have any questions regarding your visit, insurance, prescriptions, or even your health, good luck! You’ll get someone convincingly saying “They will call you back,” but NEVER do. I was charged for an extra visit unnecessarily due to a mistake they made, and couldn't find anyone willing to help. Nobody at the office would listen or return my calls. I finally had to resort to recording a doctor admitting I shouldn't be billed a second time, and then threatened to sue before they reluctantly fixed the issue.
The office manager Rachel is utterly incompetent, I would have had better luck calling a random phone number to get help. Sadly, the manager is not the only person I had a problem with, as Doctor Saini did not seem to care whatsoever! Any positive reviews you read are either fake or from patients lucky enough to avoid interactions with the office staff beyond the booking process. Just go somewhere else!
