The Skin Care Center was amazing! Upon arrival, I was greeted with little to know wait times and immediate service. The nurse came in and documented all the things I needed in a succinct manner and retrieved the doctor who came in literally a minute after. Without asking, he immediately knew what my issue was and the best courses of action for my conditions. Everyone was friendly, engaged, and good at their jobs...Overall, FIVE STAR RATING!
I recently visited The Skin Care Center in Lakeview for a full-body skin check and to address some persistent eczema flare-ups. Dr. was thorough and took the time to answer all my questions, making me feel at ease.
This place rocks! I’ve been coming here for about seven years now, and I’ve always been met high-quality customer service and care. The team is very professional, and the physicians are really knowledgeable. Highly recommend to anyone with a dermatological issue looking for relief!
The office is always well organized and quiet. That's a big plus for me. Welcoming staff and a wide selection of dates to choose from.
I appreciate the thorough care I receive at the Skin Care Center in Glenview. I always recommend Dr. Julie Goldberg, who analyzes any questionable "spot," and who has kept a watchful eye on my skin health for several years, for which I am very thankful. And the staff is always welcoming and helpful.
I was able to schedule an emergency appointment with the Skin Center of Lake Forest IL and, to my good fortune and their competent staff, I was able to be examined that same evening. The waiting time was less than five minutes. I was also gladly surprised by the professionalism and dedication of both Kelsey Grimmer and her staff. Kudos for them!
