Northstar Dermatology PA

Must say the staff was great and I was able to get an appointment with short notice. However, this derm office is not for me. I was looking for more personalized treatment and received the most "factory line" care for acne. There are a stack of pre-prescribed acne regimines/treatment plan handout they give to every patient alike. I was prescribed medicines without any disclosure of side-effects, then received my rx in the mail which the office sets up to have delievered. Turns out its a $700 prescription.

Its very apparent the drug marketing companies have this office on very tight purse strings and every acne patient gets prescribed the same concoction of expensive acne meds with retail costs over $1000! For me personally an a consumer, regardless of if my insurance company picks up the tab I can not knowingly contribute to the rising heathcare cost. I feel I should have been informed of the drug costs and side effects and then been given the option as an informed patient to choose filling these meds.

Dr. A and his staff are very friendly, timely and seem to genuinely care about their patients. My visit was one of the best I've had in any physicians office in a very long time. I was thrilled that my wait time was minimal and he spent plenty of time explaining things and discussing options with me. Great experience...highly recommend!

New insurance plan means new list of Doctors, I have lots of sun damage and need a good doctor to help monitor my health. Could not be any happier with Dr. Aboutalebi and his staff. Great office and location, very professional and pleasant staff, and very impressed with the Doctor's bedside manner (communication skills)and his medical knowledge. Always a little afraid about a new doctor but the first few visits have been excellent. He is now my doctor of choice..
