Dr. Walter is amazing. She takes great care in meeting with each patient.
Lisa Styop is an incredible esthetician and so much more. My skin has never looked so good! She is kind and informative, but doesn't push products on her patients. Highly recommend! I feel very taken care of when I am in the office.

Report
Dermatology & Skin Surgery Specialists is a very well-run practice The appointment making, check-in procedure are efficient and personable. I highly recommend Dr Walter for Botox. She knows the perfect locations and amount to inject. She is careful and not aggressive so I look natural and my face moves but I don't have that deep furrow from squinting anymore. I also have had the microneedling procedure from Lisa Styop, CMLI, LMA. She is also a star; careful, gentle, encouraging and so supportive that I have purserverved through 5 sessions. I can see my own collagen production has increased so it

I recently had an annual skin check with PA-C Meghan with Betsy assisting and they were absolutely wonderful. The office is very well run, they treated me very professionally, and answered all of my questions. I've been coming here for a few years now and will be continuing to do so.

Dr. Walter and her staff are amazing! They always make me feel completely at ease. Dr. Walter's schedule tends to fill quickly and I was initially hesitant to book with a physician assistant, but I am glad I did. I was able to get in relatively quickly and had a great experience!
