Dr. Duran was able to see me at short notice when I broke out in really bad hives/rash due to my RA. He got me set up with a RX that is helping me feel better in short order. I really appreciate the care that he has provided to me each time that I have been seen in his office. I always pass along his information to anyone who is in need of a good dermatologist.

Brought my 86 yr old dad into get an abnormal growth removed and doing a biopsy. Mom’s appt is Oct 8th but to save us a trip Dr Duran moved her up to today and did her skin scan. In today’s world that never happens. Thank Dr Duran for caring enough to make this happen for my parents. I take care of BOTH of my elderly parents and a 5 yr old Granddaughter so trust me when I tell you there’s not enough hours in the day! So again thank you for doing this for my family. Most DRS rush you in & out and just don’t take the time. ❤️👍😊
