“Having recently undergone 5 skin cancer treatments here, I can honestly say that while nobody wants to go through this experience, the care I’ve received here has been exceptional. Dr. Grushchak is a consummate professional who inspires such confidence that you immediately feel you’re in excellent hands. The entire team, including PA Nhi Nguyen, is warm, compassionate, efficient, and genuinely makes what could be a stressful experience feel incredibly comfortable. I also really appreciated the transparency around costs. They provided clear expectations upfront, which made the whole process that much easier. I recommend this practice to anyone. They’ve earned my complete trust, and I’m incredibly grateful for the outstanding care I’ve received.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Mani. She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but what stands out most is how genuinely kind and caring she is. She takes the time to listen, answer questions, and make sure you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire experience. It’s clear that she truly cares about her clients and takes pride in what she does. I’ve always felt that I’m in the best hands with her and her staff. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust. She is truly exceptional at what she does and an even better person. ❤️”
“I had an amazing experience with Dr. Mani and the entire team! Everyone was incredibly kind, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Dr. Mani was knowledgeable, thorough, and took exceptional care of me every step of the way. Although I’m still healing, I’m so grateful for the level of care and attention I received. The staff made sure I understood all of my aftercare instructions and were always patient and supportive. I highly recommend Dr. Mani to anyone looking for expert, compassionate care. The professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine dedication to their patients truly exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Dr. Mani and the entire team, for such an outstanding experience!”
“I booked an annual skin check appointment with Dr. Siddiqui because my usual dermatologist was scheduled months out and I needed to get something checked. While being examined Dr. Siddiqui commented “wow your baby gave you a lot of stretch marks.” In a moment where I was nude and feeling vulnerable, she brought up an insecurity that I didn’t intend on addressing. I was there for an annual skin check, not for cosmetic fixes and my stretch marks should have never been commented on. I understand this is primarily a cosmetic dermatologist, but to bring up something like that when my appointment was for something completely different was very unprofessional. I will not be coming back and I advise anyone going in for a general skin check to reconsider their choice. I gave this 2 stars because the rest of the staff was very nice and the office is clean and nice.”
