Dr. Shaun Patel, MD

WARNING TO THE PUBLIC: This doctor is NOT a dermatologist. He is a board-certified radiologist, not a dermatologist. His marketing creates the strong impression of Harvard-level dermatology or aesthetic training, but his actual background is in abdominal radiology, not dermatology or aesthetic medicine. This matters because many patients—including myself—trusted him based on those claims. I spent over $7,000 under his care, and my skin ended up significantly worse than when I started. My hyperpigmentation intensified dramatically. I brought clear photo evidence to every single visit showing things were getting worse, yet I was repeatedly told it was “getting better.” Instead of addressing the worsening results, he kept adding new, expensive treatments and selling additional high-priced products. When I tried to speak with him urgently about the reaction, he repeatedly avoided phone calls and the office insisted I “just come in” rather than discussing the problem. He also charged me a… $100 late fee for being 15 minutes late to one single appointment—out of six total visits—something I’ve never experienced with any legitimate dermatology practice. He also sells SkinCeuticals products at full retail price with no discounts, even though nearly every reputable dermatology office and major online retailers offer 10–15% off. It felt like every opportunity to charge more was taken. I deeply regret going to this practice. Now I must seek help from a real, board-certified dermatologist to reverse the damage—likely at substantial additional cost. Patients deserve honest and transparent representation of a doctor’s credentials. “Aesthetic physician” is not a recognized medical specialty. Any MD with prescribing authority can use that title without ever completing a dermatology residency. Again—this doctor is NOT a dermatologist. To clarify: ChatGPT does not verify medical credentials. It pulls from webpages and online descriptions, and his marketing heavily influences search results. I did not realize this when I originally searched for a dermatologist using ChatGPT. Credential verification must be done through the state board: FL Dept of Health Practitioner Profile: just look it up In my experience, it was evident he was not a dermatologist because my concerns were dismissed, my worsening results were ignored, and I was left with damaged skin and a significant financial loss. I strongly urge others to research thoroughly before trusting their skin to any provider whose advertised qualifications do not match their official training.

From the moment I met with Dr. Patel at my initial consultation, he has made me feel completely at ease and comfortable. He took a lot of time explaining his full assessment of what treatments I will need in order to achieve my personal goals. He answered all of my questions in great detail, and he genuinely shows an interest in wanting to help me attain my overall goals. I look forward to working with him over time to achieve the results I'm looking for. Thank you Dr. Patel! ;-)

Thank you! Excellent service.

Everyone is very friendly here, and the facility itself is very clean and nice. I got botox and had a better result than previous places I have gone. I will return.

Excellent doctor. Highly recommended
