The $40 co-pay was the best money I've spent on myself. Dr Brown was able to examine the mole in question and provide an instant assessment that set my mind at ease. He is personable and friendly, as are all of the wonderful support staff. Ample parking, easy to navigate to, and good signage (the dome is a great landmark!). The waiting area music volume is a little loud, so if you're sensitive to that kind of thing be prepared.

Very professional staff and doctor. Update I've been back since then, but the clinical assistant treats me so bad, I hope I don't need a derm anytime soon. Very rude.
