I’ve been going to her since I was like 16 years old she’s the best go to doctor my skin cleared so good the only thing is you will be there for awhile but it’s worth the wait and it is hard to get in contact with office but like I said if you know you know it’s worth calling and waiting she’s the only skin doctor I go to I travel just to see her.

𝟎 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬 - 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐬… * 𝐔𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲! -So called doctor touched my whole face & arms without gloves. Carbon dioxide I believe it was, was open and everywhere on the counter. Room I was in had dirty equipment in the sink so they didn’t clean before putting me in there. All together dirty atmosphere since you step foot in the building. * 𝐑𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 - after explaining my concerns to the doctor she would look at me as if I were crazy and say that what I have is “normal” then would proceed to talk over me and not let me finish what I had to say. * 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 - waited one hour in the waiting room and another hour when they brought me to the room just to be hurried out and being seen for only 5 minutes. * “𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬” - I went in to get ointments and other prescriptions and she then offered other “services” that apparently my insurance wouldn’t cover. Even though it covered the visitation. She stated she will only accept cash for certain surgeries she offers. Shouldn’t insurance cover everything in the office!!! I’m hoping the doctor sees this review and betters her attitude and work but it seems she doesn’t really care since there’s so many bad reviews. I went to this office in hope that all would turn out good since the office had very few 5 star reviews and I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but you should honestly listen to all the negative experiences everyone has had and stay away from this place. It suprises me how this office is up and running. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

Only giving one star because zero isn't an option. I would like to start this review by saying please BELIEVE the rating. RUN AWAY FROM THIS FACILITY!!!!! Besides having a long wait once being placed in a room, unprofessional staff, and a unsanitary facility the doctor is SCATTERBRAINED! She was literally all over the place and it is evident that she's only in business for the money. My prescription was never put in with the pharmacy. Three weeks later I had to call the office to inform them of not receiving a call from the pharmacy. It was hard to get in contact with the office to get this situation fixed. The doctor sold me a 1 ounce bleaching cream for $150 that only had her name on it and no label with ingredients. She told me that I could only pay in cash for the cream. I had to leave her office and go to the nearest ATM to get cash. Being that I couldn't pay in cash me makes believe she is doing something illegal. What confirmed that she was doing something illegal was when she quoted me a price for laser hair removal. She quoted me a price for hair removal and when I called the office on the week of my appointment to confirm my appointment and the price, Karen at the front desk told me that the prices didn't sound correct. Another front desk rep them got on the line and told me that the doctor probably quoted me a price for her PA. To my knowledge she didn't have a PA at her facility. I then received a call from the PA who just happens to be her daughter. The PA "mini McClerkin "quoted me a price of $60 for hair removal. The hair removal would take place at the after hour weekend clinic that she runs. I asked her if it's the same services that's done by the doctor she stated that it was and she would be using the doctors machine to perform the service. She offered me services for $60 but advised that she could only accept cash payments. After speaking with the PA (who actually isn't a PA) the doctor called me to advise that I don't share the info regarding the Weekend Clinic to her staff and that I only bring cash. A day before my appointment at the illegal Weekend Clinic the PA "mini McClerkin" called me and stated "my mom said I have to charge you $150 in cash instead of the $60 I initially quoted you". I then told her to cancel all services. Patricia McClerkin is running several illegal operations at the McClerkin Skin & Laser Center and needs her license revoked for malpractice. Please save yourself the headache and avoid this facility.

In order to get an appointment you have to call leave a voice-mail and they will call you back a day or two later. They never asked me what I was being seen for and when they brought me to the room they never asked me what I was being seen for or cared to see if maybe I needed to be put in a gown. The blinds in my room wouldn't shut because the little stick that turns the blinds broke off. The whole office is dirty and outdated my appointment was at 9:45am I never saw a dr until 12:30 I walked out of the office at 1pm for a 9:45 am appointment how does that happen? They didn't necessarily forget about me, they were behind with everyone I heard like everyone like 10 people complaining alot about waiting people were mad in there including me I was furious they were clearly overwhelmed and understaffed it was actually really hard to see they need to make some serious changes! The staff is actually somewhat nice the checkout girl wasn't very nice everyone else was but they are all just overwhelmed! I'll never go back! Too dirty!

It depends on your insurance. If you can provide that, I can recomend another dermatologist.

No not really They need to hire more staff and be more efficient in attending the patients. The wait time to be put in a room is ridiculous.
