Wait time of 2 hours with no explanation from Dr. A very poor experience and definitely not recommended.

I have been to many different physicians since moving to central Florida and by far Dr Cristina is the best ever. She is extremely knowledgeable and a very caring person. She spends time with her patients and answers any questions you might have and explains everything to you regarding meds and the reason for them to be in your regimen. Her staff are wonderful.

I had a great experience with Dr.Cristina. I started going right before shelter in place happened and found it super easy to book an appointment and get in quickly. I had a good amount of hormonal acne that was often painful and cystic. She put me on spironolactone to control the hormones, tretinoin to exfoliate and bring out all my clogged pores and clindamycin to treat existing breakouts. Now 5 months later my skin looks the best it has since I was a teenager! I've moved on to checking in only once a year rather than every 6-8 weeks and my scarring and breakouts continue to get better.

Dr. Cristina and her staff are the best. When ever I go to her appointments I always feel comfortable. She always make sure I'm doing what's best for my skin. The staff are very friendly and non-judgmental. The office is always clean and very nice. Very happy I have her as my dermatologist!
