I visit here every 6 months they have removed a few skin spots they were pre cancer glad they are gone. Plan on spending wait time but when it is your turn they spend all the time you need. Worth the wait

Doc Perez, PA's and Staff are very nice, but, Doc, team and staff don't return calls. PA's won't listen to client for added requests. 12 appointments canceled this year , never has office rescheduled me. Doc/surgical team doesn't care because I am only a follow up. I thought JAX had a better cut of businesses.

Tried to call to schedule an appointment. When I called, I got the automated system telling me that I was twelfth in line. Waited for about 30 minutes to get to my turn and you guessed it....they hung up on me. So, I called back. This time I was thirteenth in line. Again waited for around thirty minutes, finally got to my place in line and they hung up on me. I will find another provider. If they can't get answering the phone right, I don't think I want them being responsible for my health.

I’ve been coming here for YEARS and I’ve never had a bad experience everyone is so helpful and welcoming I always recommend them to all my friends and family! These past couple months though one of the PA’s Carmen Somarriba WOW WOW WOW amazing! I always feel heard at my appointments and she goes above and beyond to figure out what will be the best option. The best dermatologist I’ve ever had. 10/10

Questions & Answers

I have cracks and itchiness because of eczema, and it didn't improve after my last treatment. Would you recommend contacting Advantage Dermatology?

Andrea Rogahn | Oct 2, 2021
Tatum Pagac | Oct 2, 2021

Go for it! They prescribed phototherapy because I had severe symptoms (itching, redness, and cracks). After the phototherapy my symptoms improved significantly. No longer does it impact the quality of my life, and my overall health has improved, too.

How long does it usually take to go through Mohs surgery?

Morgan Kiehn | Oct 2, 2021
Elroy Zulauf | Oct 2, 2021

Mine lasted for 4 hours, but the length of your Mohs surgery varies depending on how many layers of tissues your doctor has to take and when all of the cancerous cells are removed. The length of the surgery can range anywhere from 4 to 6 hours. But don't worry, they have well-thought-out policies and their appointments start early in the morning.

Why do you lie on medical records? Why can't we get a price on mohs procedure .

Linda B | Oct 3, 2018
Patrice kelsey | Oct 3, 2018

Because the doctor is money hungry

Jarvis Torphy | Oct 2, 2021
Comos Rohan | Oct 2, 2021

I think if it doesn't clear up on its own you should definitely see a doctor. I have used Advantage Dermatology's services for my daughter and they have been really helpful.

I’m a 40-year-old mother of two and I’ve been struggling to get rid of some love handles. I heard so many good things about CoolSculpting, is this something they offer?

Julia Greg | Oct 2, 2021
Miriah Reilly | Oct 2, 2021

Yes. CoolSculpting is a safe, effective non-invasive fat eliminating procedure. It uses Cryolipolysis® or cooling technology to target and kill fat cells. It does not require surgery and there are no downtimes so you could quickly go back to your daily activities safely. Perfect for any busy mom. Call the office for a free consultation.

Do they charge a fee to have my medical records sent to another facility?

Lily Koss | Oct 2, 2021
Lewis Koch | Oct 2, 2021

Most doctor's offices do. The PDF form they have on their site (https://www.advantagederm.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Medical-Records-Request-Form-From-Our-Facility.pdf) lists the fees there. Looks like general medical records requests are $1 per page for the first 25 pages and then $0.25 per page for each page in excess of 25 pages.

I received a bill from the laboratory for a biopsy I got done. Why are they sending me the bill and not the doctor?

Bernard VonRueden | Oct 2, 2021
Larue Pacocha | Oct 2, 2021

Any bloodwork and/or biopsies done in the office are sent to a laboratory, which will then bill your insurance for their portion of the work. You should deal with the laboratory directly if you have questions about that bill.

I have Cigna insurance -- do they participate?

Katty Champlin | Oct 2, 2021
Bruce W. Rodríguez | Oct 2, 2021

Sorry, not sure. They do accept most insurance companies including Medicare. Better off calling to verify.

What is their no-show policy?

Eric P Curran | Oct 2, 2021
Lee Osinski | Oct 2, 2021

You have to give them 48 hours (2 business days) notice that you won't be able to make your appointment, otherwise, they charge you a fee. I think the fee is $50 for regular appointment and $100 for a surgical appointment (procedure, etc.)

I was referred to Dr. Perez for my double chin issue -- what can a dermatologist do with a double chin? I thought they just focused on skin issues?

Jamie Bristone | Oct 2, 2021
Julian Haley Sr | Oct 2, 2021

I got KYBELLA treatment here. KYBELLA and cool Sculpting are the only non-surgical treatments for a double chin (alternatives were liposuction, neck lifts, and laser treatments - no thank you).

I'm ready to try fillers, but not sure which ones to go with first (as a trial). Is that something they offer? Do they have something that lasts a month?

Earl Cochran | Oct 2, 2021
Aaron Daniel | Oct 2, 2021

I did my first fillers with Dr. Perez and they lasted about 8 months for me. Not sure if there is something that lasts less than that.

Do they offer hair removal services?

Anissa Waters | Oct 2, 2021
David Kirlin | Oct 2, 2021

Yes, I highly recommend Advantage Dermatology, PA for laser hair removal -- they have the most effective hair removal and at the lowest price! What's also great is they have the latest, most up to date equipment, and having it done at a doctor's office just makes me feel so much safer.

Do they treat pediatric patients as well or just adults?

Gene Nicolas | Oct 2, 2021
Todd Bartell | Oct 2, 2021

I take my 5-year-old to them and they have been excellent at addressing his skin issues.

Do they have super long wait times to see the doctor when you come to them for an appointment?

Mishel Rolfson | Oct 2, 2021
Micheal L. Sylvester | Oct 2, 2021

This is a very well-run office; I've never had to wait for longer than 5 minutes. Usually, the nurse takes you back as soon as you sign-in.

I'm planning to get married in autumn. How soon before my wedding should I get Botox?

Moises Altenwerth | Oct 2, 2021
Elroy Zulauf | Oct 2, 2021

Dr. Perez recommended that I get BOTOX 6 months before my wedding, in case touchups are necessary. The procedure itself is short but you need to allow time for redness and swelling to reduce.

I'm a new patient. Can I bring the paperwork with me on my first visit?

Alejandra Witting | Oct 2, 2021
Ari Tam | Oct 2, 2021

Yes

After rubella, my daughter suffers from constant rashes. Can they help us with this issue?

Margot Stroman | Oct 2, 2021
Emilio Volkman | Oct 2, 2021

All types of rashes should be taken seriously. A year ago my husband and I contacted Advantage Dermatology with a similar issue and they helped our 4-year-old baby. The service was prompt and of the highest quality. They are really caring and detail-oriented.

Do I need to cancel my appointment beforehand?

bradly smith | Oct 2, 2020
Matilda Lang | Oct 2, 2020

Yes. My family has been using their services for more than two years, and I always make sure I follow their policies. Appointments should be canceled 48 hours before the scheduled appointment.

Would you recommend doctor Perez for a Mohs surgery?

Sam Morissette | Oct 2, 2020
Elsa Bruen | Oct 2, 2020

Absolutely yes! He did my sister's surgery and we are more than pleased with the result. At the end of the procedure there was a tiny scar left, but it faded away with time. He has a great bedside manner, he is highly professional and caring. Look no further. I'm pretty sure your expectations will be met.
