"Called for an appointment and scored an earlier appointment than stated online. Maybe a cancellation? The doctor, can’t remember her name, was the most vivacious and caring doctor I’ve encountered in a LONG time. Ran on time, very knowledgeable and explained everything well. I wish I knew her name!"

"My doctor is easily my favorite and best dermatologist I have ever seen. As a long time acne sufferer, I have been to many doctors. I always received the usual basis prescriptions that worked for a month or so. Tonight my visit to Clear Lake Dermatology was incredibly informative. I can tell that she is extremely knowledgeable about her profession. She was also very welcoming and kind. I look forward to my visit again in 6 months."
