Report
I was referred to Dr. Snell by a good friend that is an existing client. I made contact and scheduled my initial appointment for two months later. Once I arrived at the center I felt I was transported to the spa. The sounds of Motown flittered throughout. The staff was extremely attentive and accommodating. Dr. Snell herself is phenomenal. She was able to assess and address my concerns with my skin and provide me with literature on it and the treatment prescribed.

If you are a person of color this is the place for you (or anyone)!! What a pleasant experience. Everyone was so pleasant and friendly. Upbeat and greeted me with such warmth. Called me by name, addressed my issues with compassion and explained the findings where I could understand. Provided samples of a moisturizer and sun screen suited for my complexion. Don't wait until you get a certain age to become concerned about your skin issues. Start early. I made a follow up appointment for a more complete exam. Thank you Carter Snell Dermatology!

Report
I had my first appointment with Dr. Carter Snell and it was great!! Front staff was polite and friendly. I was seen by a NP within 15 minutes of arrival. The NP was also super friendly and attentive. Dr. Carter Snell came in with 5 minutes of the NP leaving, which was great. Typically, when I go to any doctors office the wait is always long. Dr. Carter Snell was friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable. She listened to my concerns, gave me a treatment plan and explained what she was prescribing and why. I will definitely be going back and highly recommend her to others.
