Dermatologists near Tigard

“I was about to write up a review of my visit to Dermatology Associates in Tigard, and was surprised to find their star rating was so low. I went in for skin cancer screening. I'd done their on-line check-in, so my in-person check-in was about a minute. Staff were friendly and efficient. Waiting time for my appointment was barely enough to check messages on my phone. The treatment room was clean and the doctor's framed diplomas hung on the wall for easy inspection, including a well-regarded local university. Dr. V came in, all cheerful. She checked the excision she'd done last year and asked me if there'd been any problems, and there hadn't been. We joked that she should sign her work. She did the upper body screening and touched up some recent things that had been annoying me and sent me to make an appointment for next year. Front desk staff got me set up, again very friendly and efficient. All in all, things couldn't have gone better. So I looked at the less-than-glowing reviews. Some were back to 2018. The only ones that seemed still relevant were reports of long waits to get an appointment. But it's the same with my GP and my dentist. I think a lot of practitioners decided, at the start of the pandemic, to retire. Kudos to those who stuck with it -- and us -- through the hard times. My wish for you, dear reader, is that your experience at Dermatology Associates is as good as mine have been.“

“Very smooth check in. The lady was very sweet and efficient.The doctor listened to my concern and provided the best treatment“

“The staff was very friendly and attentive throughout my visit. The dermatologist was also extremely clear in his explanations.“

“They were great to work with, from the front desk to the medical assistant who took my information and Eric, the PA who treated me.

I just turned 69, this was the first visit in my entire life to a dermatologist, and I am glad I went.“

“Dr. Hajar is a wonderful physician! She is kind, welcoming, and non-judgmental. She made sure that I had a good understanding of my diagnosis and treatment plan. She is a talented surgeon, and my scar is barely noticeable. Her staff is friendly, with excellent communication and follow up. I feel supported and well cared for at this clinic. Highly recommended!“

“The most excellent care and a lovely, friendly staff. Dr. Norris is simply wonderful, caring and thorough. The best!!“

“I normally see Craig Schultz. I have pretty severe psoriasis on basically every part of my body and he was able to get me on a biologic within a few weeks of first seeing him. Overall, the team did a great job of coordinating between my insurance and the drug manufacturer to get everything set up.This last week, I had a sudden flare up likely due to a viral infection. After three days of a severely painful rash spreading all over my body including the bottoms of my feet interfering with my ability to walk, I was able to call and get a next-day appointment. However, I got a call shortly after that Krista Larson was able to fit me in same-day.Dr. Larson really went above and beyond. She was very thorough, took time to make sure I understood everything, listened to my concerns, and worked with me to come up with a solid treatment plan. Her assistant was also incredible. It is hard to find people with such a great bedside manner nowadays. Both are excellent communicators and really made me feel cared for and like they had a genuine concern for my well-being.“

“Rachel Pulver and other staff members have been so helpful to me and my family members. She is kind and professional. She has quickly diagnosed any skin problems I’ve had and she’s treated my husbands scalp without leaving any scars. We recommend her whole-heartedly!“

“Great staff that is invested in your health. Dr. Ethan Fram (urology) and Dr. Thomas S. Dudrey (Primary Care), the best I’ve ever had. They take time to know you, get acquainted with your health record, and provide careful guidance. I always feel well taken care of.“

“I was a little scared by some of the negative reviews, and after my visit I felt I should come on here and say that my experience was mostly good. The front staff was nice and they didn't seem burned out or rude at all. I got called back promptly. I was seeing Dr. Liu and her assistant was named Gail. Gail was very nice. The only hiccup was the doctor started yelling for her in the hallway and she cut our consultation short before I could really tell her why I was there. I tried to quickly say it and she indicated it would be fine and the doctor would know I was there for multiple concerns. I don't blame Gail for having to run off. A few minutes later I heard the doctor yelling for her in the hallway again. It might be worth them working out a different communication system because that seems stressful for everyone!A couple minutes after my appointment time Dr. Liu came in and was very nice and projected that she knew what she was doing. Her diploma on the wall was from Stanford so that's pretty impressive! One of my concerns was a lesion on my hand and after discussing the options, we decided it was best to remove it. She called in Gail and after signing a waiver, things seemed to spring out of everywhere instantly. Bottles, syringes, razor blades. I didn't even see where the needle came from, all of a sudden it was just coming at me.This might just be me, but I used to be a health care worker and in my time I saw needles accidentally get used on two different people and I have an extreme phobia of this and always like to see the needle get uncapped. In this tidal wave, I felt I couldn't stop and be a jerk and say hey, that's a fresh needle, right? Because of course it was, and that would have been an insulting question. But my unreasonable phobia still reared up and I really didn't like this high speed.My other unreasonable phobia reared up when I saw they were going to use on me a bottle of aluminum chloride that is permanently open on the counter with long q tips sticking out of it. Again, it was probably fine. I'm just weird about medical liquids permanently open on counters. My suggestion would be to put it in a cabinet. It doesn't take that much longer to pull it out, and the patient isn't worried about whether it's clean or not.So basically, everybody was very nice and very professional. I think my bugaboos arose because of the speed at which everything was going. I understand it's a medical clinic and they need to stay on schedule though!The only other thing I would say is that the clinic was very clean, but also very outdated and dingy feeling. This in no way affected my care though!“

“Doing labs 8AM good and fast. Nice new medical building but so far to walk to get to labs and Drs. Office. Great job at this facility. Thanks“

“I’ve been a patient at the dermatology clinic for two years. OHSU is an amazing hospital with accessible clinic services and top notch medical care. You do need a referral to be treated here. My doctor referred me, and I can honestly say the treatment journey has been life-changing. It’s important to stay on top of your appointments and follow up with the clinic regularly. Thank you to the OHSU staff who have worked with me all this time.“
