We had a great experience! I brought my 5 year old daughter in, and even though this isn’t a pediatric office, they were absolutely wonderful with her. The doctor was very thorough, patient, and made her feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. We were given a clear treatment plan for her eczema and left feeling confident about getting her skin under control. I’m so glad we found this office and would definitely recommend them!

Dr. Laboy was obviously very knowledgeable in her field. I had growths on my hands and feet, no other doctors knew what it was. She gave me the conditions name, told me why I had it and prescribed a cream to take for 3 months. She answered all our questions and is easy to talk to. My husband had 3 different procedures to address skin precancerous conditions We felt confident we were delivered excellent medical care.

Dr. Torres-Laboy was very thorough and has a great personality. She listened to all of my concerns and gave me options for treatments. Thankful to have another caring doctor to replace Dr. Sangiray after his retirement:)

Dr. Paola Torres-Laboy and her nurse Bailey were both so friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. This was my first visit and appointments with new doctors can be a bit stressful for me as a nuerodivergent adult. I felt very comfortable with both Dr. Torres-Laboy and Bailey. They were patient and listened to my questions and addressed them all wonderfully. I needed to have a place on my chin removed and it was painless and quick with information being shared with me regarding each step that was being taken so I felt at ease. The front office team is also great. I am so pleased to be Dr. Torres-Laboy's patient and recommend her and her team very highly.
