Dr. Adamson is a lovely, caring person who is easy to talk with. He strives to discover exactly what you want, and delivers. He is excellent in addressing pain. He will never let you be in pain. He makes looking beautiful an easy experience.
Quick and Friendly , would highly recommend!
After spending 25 minutes on the phone trying to schedule a consultation that I said I would pay cash, I was told to get referral from my PCP. I already had a referral from dermatology. I wanted to ask another simple question but the woman I was speaking with actually hung up on me. What kind of doctor’s office just hangs up on a potential patient? Extremely unprofessional.
