I went to the office without being able to do much research besides some quick searching. They were able to squeeze me in next day which was perfect for me! My appointment was with Dr. Henrix. He seems annoyed to be there,, but my insurance was going to end with my company the next day so I didnt much mind lol. I explained to him my issues, I was looking for tretinoin for anti aging benefits, I wanted to check 2 beauty marks that popped up out of no where, and I have gotten strange cystic pimples(1 every six months or so) on my chest for a few years now that have scarred and havent been able

They never answer the phone. Very difficult to talk to anyone. Inflexible with people trying to take COVID precautions.

I can't recommend this dermatology office enough! The phone system is easily navigated. The front office staff is friendly and efficient. Scheduling is easy. I see Shirien Coover, PA-C, for my skin health needs. She has taken care of me for close to 10 years, seeing me through many different problems from acne to sun burns to dangerous moles. I highly recommend seeking an appointment with her. Something nice about this office is that I've been able to get appointments quickly when I notice an issue I'm concerned about. The office is located in a quiet medical building in a safe, quiet neighborhood

Shiriene is very knowledgeable. My baby had a rash for over three months and the pediatrician gave us stuff that didnt work. She prescribed us a miracle oil that cures him within 3 days. She also called two days after we visited to find out how the baby was doing. Amazing friendly staff provided same day appointment as my son was in extreme discomfort. Will only go to them for the entire family dermatological needs!

My regular doctor wanted me to get spot on my back checked and recommended Shirien Coover, PA-C. After looking at a few other dermatology offices, I came back to Central Austin Dermatology because of that recommendation and because they were very up front about costs on their website. In fact, I think they were the only office that listed prices. I had never been to a dermatologist before and was a bit anxious about having the scrape biopsy. Shirien was extremely nice and made me feel very comfortable. To keep me distracted during the procedure, I asked her to share how she got into dermatology
