About my wife Marce's experience.
Dr Craig Austin and his team of experts have met all of her expectations in her hair care and skin care needs. Her primary care doctor highly recommended Dr Austin twelve years ago. Her concern was skin and hair. She found out that she had a skin condition called melasma. She also was concerned about her hair, which seemed to be thinning on the sides and top of her head, the start of female pattern boldness. Sadly, for some women these conditions can be attributed to the aging process. Taking care of our bodies is an investment and is important for our physical

I will not be returning to this doctors office. I went in for an appointment and was prescribed a medication . When I went to my pharmacy they informed me a prior authorization was needed. I called and left messages and never received a call back. I called to try and make an appointment just to try to get a live person, and I did. That lady was very nice and assured me someone would call me that day or the next to resolve the issue. To this date I still havent received a call back or received the medication I needed.

The staff was personable and friendly. Made me feel comfortable. I go back in 3 weeks for results and a body scan. My sister referred me to them , she said I would like them and she was right. Just wish I was able to get a definite answer for my itching on that day, but, that wasn't possible.

EVERYBODY there from beginning to end was INCREDIBLE! Almost NO wait time. I saw Carolyn who, along with the nurse (Im so sorry, I was stressed & forgot her name), were great! They both explained everything very clearly. They took the time to answer all of my questions & make sure I understood. It was a very real health scare (having a previous skin cancer) & everyone was so kind, patient & understanding. What a great staff! I love them already!!!

Went there because I had a bad rash on my face since April. After they couldn't get my rash under control they did a biopsy of one of the bumps and said it was hives. They then did a patch allergy test. The results were not explained so that I could actually understand the cause and then they told me to make an appt. to see an Allergist. Very disappointed. Would not recommend this place. They work completely by guesswork without a resolution.

This is one of the worst doctors offices Ive been to in quite a while. Dr. Austin has done great things for my daughter, and Patricia has been amazing. However the office staff is the worst. They practically scowl at you when you arrive fir your appointment. Its impossible to make appointments or request refills by phone. I routinely leave 2-3 messages in their voicemail and are never called back. Its phone roulette- you just have to keep calling until someone picks up (rarely). After 3 days of calling them, they finally picked up and promised me that they would submit a refill request
