I'm so glad my doctor referred me to Dr. Amin. She is a sweetheart and cares so much about her patients. I felt so at ease with her and her giving me such good information about my situation. You couldn't ask for a better doctor/dermatologist. She's the BEST! And the front desk receptionist signing me in was so nice and Dr. Amin's assistant was so friendly. They all seem to care about you which you don't see very often. Always smiling faces on them. It was a pleasure to go there.

My daughter is suffering from severe eczema for several years now and she was seeing her for the past two years. She just went to see her a few minutes ago.Dr. Amin didnt even listen to her complaints and she was there only for maybe one minutes. WASTE OF TIME. SHE JUST PRESCRIBED HER PREDISONE AND NOT EVEN LISTENING HOW SHE WAS. MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN MISSING CLASSES AT SCHOOL AND WHEN SHE FINALLY MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE HER IT WAS JUST WASTE OF TIME. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE. I AM JUST WONDERING WHY IS HER ATTITUDE CHANGE WHEN BEFORE SHE WAS REALLY NICE AND ACOMODATING.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER visit this office. The staff, and Dr. Amin are the most UNPROFESSIONAL people I've ever encountered in healthcare. My skin condition was misdiagnosed by the P.A. in her office. Later, I told the P.A. that I had to see another dermatologist to get some relief because of her misdiagnosis. I'm now hounded for the $28.00 balance, after insurance paid, and decided to call the office to remind them that I had to visit another dermatologist. Dr. Amin got on the phone with me, talked over me, yelled at me, and told me that I am responsible for the balance. Out of principal, I'm taking this matter up with the insurance company, and the AMA. Dr. Amin represented herself as a spoiled princess, and not the professional doctor I was expecting to hear. Shameful! I feel validated when seeing her other reviews with the same opinion. She's not worth it at all!
